Advanced Blank Baling = Tension-Aided Subconscious Memory (with pics)

[AJ the TP Guru]

I've not been kind to blank baling in posts where the subject was target panic due to how many archer/bowhunters I've heard say they shot great groups . . . until it was time to put a spot back on the target face. Also, many just didn't have sufficient patience to see it through.

Now it's time to update blank baling . . . to Advanced Blank Baling - this page explains the technique in detail, and it doesn't ask you to spend weeks or months shooting at a blank bale.

The pics below show all you will need other than a bale, and later targets, to shoot at.

This methodology can work for anyone, and you don't need me or anyone else to help you with it. It's a simple, more efficient, quicker method using vertical tension to re-introduce the concept to your subconscious mind that it's ok to place your pin on the spot (or your arrow point on an aiming spot for trad shooters).

Questions?

So how does this work if you normally "lock in" with pin at bottom of the spot?

Looks like you would still have slack in your string?

The SLC needs to be taut at full draw. Tension on the SLC allows your subconscious mind to think it's ok to get the pin up to the spot.

I think it would still work. Subconsciously you are thinking about getting the SLC taught not getting the pin on the spot.

IOW, we lock up because of the spot, take the spot out of the equation and it will work; we aren't trying to get the pin on the spot, we are making the SLC taught. The pin ends up on the spot as a byproduct; thereby training our subconscious that is okay to have the pin on the spot.

Maybe when it quits raining I will give this a try and see how it works
