Let me rephrase that about target panic -- I dont think its as much target panic as it is my finger slipping off the trigger when I'm not expecting it to. What you described above is what seems to be happening ( the full body flinch). Its not like I say "trigger in 3...2...1 NOW" I usually take aim and try to concentrate on a very small point at the target. However, sometimes when I subconsciously go to shoot I get the full body flinch. I have thought it may just be that I am not thinking about it and my muscle is so relaxed that its not actually hitting the trigger hard enough (making me think I need to back some bolts out on the release so I can get more of a suprise release). When it doesn't happen I usually am touching arrows at 20 yds. I also think I may be over stretching my finger in order to get it fully on the trigger ( the gap between the release and the wrist strap is too far -- it IS adjustable). Your thoughts Mr. Duck Hunter?
