Want to stop a deer long enough for a bow or rifle shot?
Make a "Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" squeal with your mouth, they will stop, and stand at attention, and hold steady long enough for a shot. I have been doing exactly that for many moons!
Works like a charm
I first started stopping them with a grunt or blat when I was a kid and killing them with a .22 LR and head shots. It doesn't always work at close range with archery equipment. When they immediately snap to attention focused on you, the situation is ripe for them to jump string. BTDT complete miss over the back from 25 yards with my old Browning Boss Mantis.
Like I said with the old crappy bows, gotta aim low and expect the "String Jump" to compensate at close range.
We are parsing words! Do what works for you, I have ZERO ISSUES with that, and I'll do what works for me. I guess it's all a matter of preference and experience.
