The best thing I've found for target panic is to do draw holds. I'll draw, hold on target and not shoot 2-3 in a row, then shoot one. Then draw hold again. I have to keep my brain trained to see the sight picture and not make that the goal, but a step towards the goal. It has helped me tremendously to do that in practice often. Like a true, bear down on the spot, burn a hold, laser bean focus, draw hold. I'll often hiccup and flinch and want to release when I get to the sight picture of good aim, but I hold through it and then let down. I hope that helps you like it's helped me.
@@afarley337 yes thank you!! I do have to do that as well! It does help! My panic was so bad at one point I couldn’t even pull it back & get a sight picture, then let down without shooting it. It was awful! I agree though it does help tremendously! Thanks for watching & the comment brother
New to your channel, I like your content and way of thinking, I hunt with traditional bow, I live south central pa hunt mechaux state forest, some big bucks but definitely tough hunting them.
I can sympathize with you on the challenge of target panic and "use too" fight with it continuously for years. You are "freezing " off target because you are trying to aim. The same thing happens to me but I freeze off to the left. I finally beat it by accepting the fact that not all people can shoot a bow like a firearm. Trying to force myself to shoot in a manner that was more work than fun was not good. I was so depressed and gave up archery years ago because of it. If its not fun why am I doing it? All I wanted to do was go out and have some fun shooting the bow and not everyone can be an olympic archer. I now shoot in a dynamic style...fluid...non interrupted shot cycle. If you are not familiar with Jeff Kavanaughs vids you should look him up. I admire his shooting abilities and value his type of accuracy. Referring to this style of shooting and dis-missing it as "snap shooting" because it is not as accurate on stationary targets as "aiming" is simply close minded. I dont care if other people can shoot better than me, there is ALLWAYS someone that can do SOMETHINGS better. So what? If I were you I would just relax and shoot, set reasonable goals, maybe 6'' pie plate at 15 yds, then maybe 8'' at 20yds etc. Its up to you. Hope this helps.
He told me his friend had just told him about my channel. But I didn’t know who it was. It’s really crazy how things end up! I have a lot of respect for him! I appreciate you watching & commenting brother!
@ I’ll have plenty of videos coming out about scouting/trail cameras, and shed hunting coming up this spring & summer. I have a bunch of plans, just need the time! Thanks for watching

I just told Nathan about your channel a few weeks ago
He told me his friend had just told him about my channel. But I didn’t know who it was. It’s really crazy how things end up! I have a lot of respect for him! I appreciate you watching & commenting brother!
@ i figured out in your other videos you was talking about him. He hunted a place by me this year but I still never got to meet him in person yet.
Can’t wait for some scouting videos. I need some help yet lol
