TARGET PANIC

WHAT HELPS (A BIT)?

Nothing physical can control target panic.  It is a mental condition and must be treated as such.  However, some physical things are, on the whole, a good idea.  These include:

1.      Clickers – and remember that they can be used equally well on compound as recurves.

2.      Sensible draw weights.  Probably no other single thing brings on target panic as quickly as being over-bowed.

3.      A relaxed stance.  Firm and stable, but not tense.

4.      Release trigger not too light or too heavy, especially not too light.

5.      Practising on blank butts.

6.      Practising holding on aim without loosing.
