Unk, if it were that easy I wouldn't be having this problem.

I found this weekend that if I shoot with one eye closed I have no problems pinning the center. I have to work on it somemore, but I started shooting with both eyes open 4-5 years ago. I never gave it a thought to try one eye again and see if it helped. It did and now I need to retrain myself to shoot that way again. It puts a lot of confidence back into my shooting....the big thing that I've been missing for a couple of years now.

There are a bunch of different kinds of target panic. Your particular affliction is called 'freezing'. Maybe that will help you do a detailed search.

3 sugestions

1 draw your bow back aim at the target , and letdown without fireing the shot , repeet as an exercise .

2 use a bigger spot , it works

3 "blank bales " is another exercise that has helped many , do a search on the subject

My shoulder is hurting just thinking about that.

Mine too! It helps though. I don't have the problem as long as I know I'm not dropping the hammer.

I'll give it a shot in the spring. I know I don't have the time to cure it before season. And since it isn't a problem on game it can wait a winter....or at least wait until winter.

Thanks, I've been searching about target panic and have found some good info on freezing....figured out that's my problem.
