Target panic.

[southpaw]

I've been fighting target panic most of this season. I've proven to myself how much a mental issue it is. I can do a practice draw knowing that I'm not going to shoot and hold my pin dead on target and just touch the trigger and even move my trigger finger on and off the trigger. But if I'm planning to shoot, I release the arrow as soon as I see the pin, sometimes even before. With the Lord's help I'm coming out of it now but it's been very trying.

You are the master of your own fate, the only captain on your ship. shooting well consistently requires you to understand this with every ounce of your being. focus and total discipline is yours to have or not, only you can make the choice. positive frame of mind creates positve results; however, the seeds of doubt will result in failure...........every time.

sometimes i still find myself saying "you need to get a grip", seriously i tell myself that. realizing that i am in control has helped me leaps and bounds. hang in there my man.

There is nothing worse in archery than TP. I have had it and it is more frustrating than anything I have ever experienced.

I strongly recommend blank baling as much as possible and slowly working your way back to 20 yds.

Just be patient with it (very difficult) and work hard to get rid of it and one day it will be gone without trying.

I feel for you... Been there.. Still there somewhat. Probably will always have spells of it. It's 100 % mental. AJ the TP guru on here can produce a cd for you that helps tremendously! Don't give up.

DC nailed it blank target and eye closed you will be amazed what your mind can come up with. Stay with it and always be positive, GL

Just aim dead center and only use three arrows, then take a drink of water up side down and do 50 push ups. Its a tough mental issue, but this will work. On a serious note, just take one arrow and keep shooting it from 20 yrds, dead center of the target and go back to ready aim fire. Now that will help.

Try to focus on the target and not look at the pin. The pin will go where it belongs. You still have a good sight picture.

I highly recommend AJ the TP Guru. Get in touch with him and if you use his system, it will work. I fought TP for well of 10 years and with his help, I have mastered the problems.

I been fighting it for 2-3 years now and what Muddyfuzzy said is so right. And like others have said the TP Guru can help as he works on what Muddy has stated above. I had it so bad I didn't even want to shoot anymore but I love the sport so much I stuck with it and am doing much better now with the help of TP Guru .

Good luck.
