BOWTECH1, One part of your question that I feel should be your starting point is the last part " until it' s time to shoot" IMHO If you are aiming hard and thinking only of aiming there is no time to shoot.I shoot back tension releases for this reason. Once I' ve settled my pin on my point of aim I do my darndest to think only of aiming as I continue thru my shot sequence.My time to shoot is determined by the timing of my shot execution. I would try short distance shooting and try to think only of aim,aim,aim until your shot goes off.Also be aware of your own personal time limit to let down and start over (mine is approx.6-7 sec.)I hope this helps It' s a long and sometimes difficult journey to control this beast but i' ts fun when it works! good luck!
