Default RE: Struggling with holding low

A little late on the response, but... When I was pretty serious about target shooting I developed a BAD case of target panic. It did not rear it's ugly head on game or 3D targets, only when I was shooting 5 or single spot targets. Same problem,I felt like I could not raise my sight to the center of the target no matter what. For myself, like some stated earlier, I did a lot of drawing and holding on a small dot and then letting off. The other excersize I did was to place a strip of black electrical tape about 10" long paralell to the ground at target height. That became my target. I did not focus attention left or right, only on the black strip. The other thing I did in the rehab time was STAY AWAY from target shooting. As one stated earlier "perfect practice makes perfect". What I tell my kids when I coach them is "practice makes permanent, so practice properly" Good luck.
