Default RE: Target Panic Revisited

I started suffering short draw syndrome and pushing the bow arm at release sickness, but havn't had any target panic. <img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle> Actually, I'm not so sure target panic is the right term. I envision seeing a target and breaking out in a cold sweat and then running for cover. I think I just got lazy in my shooting and developed some real bad habits, because getting rid of them has been all about getting back to basics and retraining myself the right way.

I've always been a snap shooter, meaning I release as soon as my hand hits anchor and I didn't even realize I wasn't reaching anchor but was releasing a couple inches before anchor. No wonder I couldn't get consistent arrow flight or accuracy. Floating anchor, short drawing, moving bow arm and on and on and on and on. <img src=icon_smile_blackeye.gif border=0 align=middle> I'm working my way out of it though. Actually shot real well last trip to the range.
