Default RE: Target Panic?

Blind bailing has really help me alot. I do it before every practice session. I stand about 10 feet from the target, close my eyes after I get all lined up and " FEEL" the shot. It is amazing how much you can feel with you eyes closed.

ONce I start shooting at further distances, I concentrated on that relaxed feel on every shot. I take my time and try to execute every shot with the same feel as the blind bailing. If I notice myself tensing up and punching the trigger.....I just go back a blind bail a couple of shots.

Don' t worry so much about hitting a spot. just shoot for the middle of the taget for a while. Relax and let the pin settle where ever it wants. Concentrate on the release.

Worked for me. Hope you figure it out. One of the hardest things I ever did in archery was to break the target panic habits.
