ditto this!
If you are taking a close shot, maintain your form by bending at the waist. One of the most common reasons for missing with a bow is when a hunter drops his bow arm rather than bending at the waist.
Also when the time for the shot comes make sure you pick a spot and don't just shoot at the side of the deer. Broadside aim for just above the heart. if the deer jumps string they will drop into the arrow, giving you a double lung shot. Also if the deer is close, but quartered away, pick a spot that will allow the arrow to exit at the opposite front shoulder. If the deer is close and quartered halfway it will appear you are aiming too far back, but thiink of the path that the arrow will follow as it goes through the deer.
And finally.... practice, practice...practice!!!
