Default RE: 3d targets vs. broadhead targets

Could be target panic. If you find it hard to hold on a small spot, you may be getting anxious and punching, assuming you use a release. On the 3D target you're not so concerned with being surgical. Granted we all try to pick a spot, but there isn't the small dot to look at. On your broadhead target try putting on larger spots that have lots of contrast. Black on white or vice versa. If your pin covers the spot, you're probably peeking to try to see the spot. Let the pin float around the spot, not hold absolutely still. I was also advised to (I use a wrist strap release, Scott 'lil goose) use the first knuckle rather than the tip of my finger. You can use this release with back tension, also. Good luck.
I suspect you shoot a Patriot. So we know it 'aint the bow.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
