What is target panic? It can be many different things, it depends on the archer. For me, while I’m trying to hold my sight on the spot that I want to hit, I will lock up under it. It feels like my bow weighs 1000 pounds. Then, I will either shoot low or snatch the bow up and try to time the triggering of my release for when my sight crosses the spot. There is a 1 out of 10 chance that my timing is correct. The majority of the time the arrow will hit nowhere near the spot I’m wanting to hit. The crazy thing is, I only have this problem on random targets. Some of them are close and some are far.
I have been struggling with this problem for years now and I haven’t found a cure yet. I do know that when I don’t feel the pressure of making a perfect shot, my target panic goes away……but, most all tournaments frown on me having a few “Daddy Cokes” before I go shoot. lol I’m sure in time it will go away, for now I’ll just continue to carry a few extra arrows.
