My checklist goes like this;
Is this animal a shooter or not? If yes, then I focus on the spot I plan to shoot, and I stop worrying about size of antlers etc...
In my eyes it's mental control not to get excited about the possibly outcome, focus, on the kill, then celebrate, not the other way around!
It's similar to catch the ball before you run.... or field the ball before you throw it...
Honestly with a bow I feel there's a lot you have to get done to make a successful shot, with experience I assume that becomes routine.
The animal's range, which can always be changing... so which pin etc... drawing without being seen, lining up the target with the right pin/right range, getting steady, picking that exact spot you want to shoot.
Good luck!
