    Tackling Target Panic(Here We Go!!)

    Looking for upper level coaches or Pro Shooters advice. Please keep this thread on topic. Thanks!!


    Choosing to totally clean the slate and start with a fresh canvas in terms of form and shot execution.
    Gonna approach this as if I'm picking a bow up for the first time. I wanted to see what you guys thought would be a good training plan for a little while. I was trying to find a old article from John Dudley which consisted of about a month of training which could be stretched to 2 months if wanted.
    He mentioned it was a good idea for the first few weeks to just focus on fundamentals, no sights and up close.
    Once you were confident in the basics steps and shot excecution then try to hold pin on target and then let down for a week or two till confident in that. Then actually shooting at short distances and progressing from there.
    I have choosen to commit the whole summer to working on this. Taking pictures, progress videos to get critiqued, no field shooting or hunting,etc... Just progressive training and discipline.
    If you where to put your self thru a rather extended regimen to reinvent yourself, how would you approach it?
    I've just finished my first whole week of just focusing on the nine basic steps, no sights, no outdoor shooting just 3-5 yards away and working on everything from stance to anchor to mental process thru the shot excecution.
    Also so you know of any good links or possibly the article in question. Just trying to get a good idea of a training plan for this summer,kind of like a workout plan. Just in need of direction.

    Contact AJ the TP Guru. He has a system that helped me.
    You are on the right track. You may want to look at a back tension or hinge release. It could help, it helped me along with AJ's system.

      Thanks!
      Also it might help to know that I am using good releases as well. I am mainly focusing on the wrist release for right now, although I do have my other bow set up for a thumb release.

      I have my Carter Quicke Plus set right around 3-3.5lbs and proper length to have a comfortable "hook" on the trigger.
      Also have both the Nock On edition Carter Wise Choice and Just B Cuz set at 3.5lbs as well as the Carter Evolution if ever needed.
      I'm honesty trying to avoid the Evolution unless it's really needed, I'm confident thru a good training regimen, I can correct my target panic as well as refine my form with my other releases before I need to resort to the Evolution.</blockquote><br />

          Thanks! Sadly my shot execution is great, really solidified on the nine basic steps from one my coaches, but mostly my target panic revolves around fear of putting the pin were I want it in the first place. It's as if I can't mix the two process together...aiming and shot execution.

            Same as I was. I couldn't get pin within 6' of the target it got so bad... And would shoot

            Within a week I was and am shooting at my highest level
