Default RE: target panic

Some very good suggestions there. I think that if you ask, every serious bow shooter, at one time or another, has suffered from some level of TP in their shooting career. From mild to severe, TP is a real menace. It can however be overcome.

Just so I don't end up repeating whats been typed, do an online search for Blind Bale shooting. Searching for Target Panic will likely hit on an article that includes Blind Bale.

What you need to achieve is the surprise shot. Target Panic defined is simply the fear of missing. Your brain takes over and you command the shot to go. Working on the blind bale will teach you how to experience the proper shot, which is one of surprise. Pulling through the shot will come along for the ride and you'll be back in the 10 ring in short order.

Drop me a line if you can't find an article on Blind Bale and I'll do what I can to find one for you. Don't give up, you'll be fine.
