Default RE: Target Panic

It may not be target panic. If you can cross the spot, but not let the pin settle, you may be impatient. I used to do this "drive by shooting". I was in a hurry to get the shot off while I thought I was on target. Aim and let the pin settle on the spot. Don't get in rush. If something doesn't feel right, let down. I don't know how many times in the past I've forced a shot when I felt something was wrong. Those were usually not 10s, either. Now that I can let down, those shots are usually 10s. If you can't even get the pin on the spot, that's target panic. I set a target about 8 yds (put it closer if you are afraid of missing it), aim, and then close my eyes. Hold for 4 seconds and release. This allows me to feel the shot, with no other input.
