I have a problem

[Rustywreck]

everyone goes through the second guessing themselves stage after a non-recovered deer.
the only solution I have found is take the next good shot opportunity that presents itself.
the wost part is getting the negative thoughts out of your head when you do take the next shot. If, at the moment of the release, you are second guessing your yardage estimation, shot placement, etc, you may mess up again (you can think yourself into making a bad shot).
The next time a deer comes into range try to envision the arrow hitting an exact spot and let it fly.
