Default RE: BEST cure for TARGET PANIC??

I had it really bad a few years ago on the 3d course and indoor. So, i quit shooting for a few months. I bought back tension releases, shot blind, got real close to the target, anything and everything. But, it always came back. I didn't shoot for almost 2 months, but when i picked it up, it was as if i had never had target panic in my life. Since then, i still shoot the back tension and up close shots for a refresher, but as soon as i start jerking the trigger i just hang the bow up for that day. The one thing i tell everyone i shoot with that has target panic is, "The arrow is still going to be in the target when you get there, so don't look it when you shoot." Kinda like pickin your head up in golfing, you're just dropping the bow out of fear of a miss.
