Default RE: target panic

Greg, do you shoot competitive. I have seen and had cases of target panic Myself, and I am fairly calm when it comes to aiming and shooting, but it happen's. What my coaches usaully tell me to do, even if Im not having problems with TP but just not shooting well that day, Is as others have stated, take your bow put and arrow in it, go through the motions of shooting, when at full draw keep your finger behind the trigger, put your site on the point you want the arrow to impact, and hold it there, hold it as long as you can hold your bow, when you start to shake like heck, then let down, rest for a second, then do it again about 3-4 times. I think whats happening is brain isn't working with you, probably the best reason for that is because you are thinking about to many things at once.
Also stated before, it is best to do some blind shooting for a while about 5 yards from the target. Go up to the bail or what ever your shooting at, line up your feet like you would normally to shoot, drawback. As you get into anchor, close your eye's then feel the shot. Do that for about 10minutes. Just draw close your eye's and shoot. Don't open your eye's until after full follow through. I would aslo like to know if you are using a backtension style to trip the release. I'll talk about the backtension thing later if you wanna here about it. Good luck.
