Anyone have any techniques that help them to shoot better while either in the stand or on the bench? Things I am interested in are things like breathing techniques and etc... Any suggestions???

i've taken so many different approaches to shooting it's ridiculous. i used to hold the gun tight up against my shoulder and breath in and then shoot. my thought was that i'm not going to let the gun move and holding it tight while not breathing is the best way to do it. now, i shoulder the gun, slow my breathing down next to nothing and then exhale completely before pulling the trigger. figured out that by taking a breath in caused the gun to move and i'd nearly smother myself trying to get back on target. lol. and instead of holding the gun like i'm trying to keep somebody from stealing it, i just shoulder it and get comfy, then pull the trigger. more often than not it stands me up, but my accuracy has improved. take that back. my consistency has improved by essentially elimnating most of the shooter error.

I know not everbody is the same, but in the stand I always prop my elbow on my knee and shoot pretty steady. Also, I don't watch the deer in the scope before I shoot, When I know I am shooting, I put the scope up and shoot as quick as possible.

one thing that i recommend everybody doing as far as technique goes, practice shooting left handed. the last two deer i've shot have been lefty.
