Still can't break the target panic

<< < (5/6) > >>

The last few days I have been practicing where in not paying much attention to anchoring or anything to do with perfect form. I've just been focusing on the target to where I feel like I'm trying to burn a hole through it with my eyes. Started ahooting good enough again that Ive been taking an old recurve out hunting. It's been raining and super misty and foggy so I cheated and used glass. But this morning I made a near perfect 18-20 yard shot on a spike. But for some reason no penetration as in a few inches. Which I'll start a post on that in the campfire section due to using a glass bow. But I feel like I'm finding something to work for me. I just need to perfect it. And made a good center punch on a chunk of ice cream bucket at 25 yards while walking out for lunch from looking for the deer. I think that I had bad shootings in my mind making me shoot bad. In a combinations from a flinch I developed from an aggressive compound and not shooting trad for a while. I think I'm starting to get that out of my head and my confidence back. Now I gotta work on having more good days so the target panic problem goes away all together. I think my whole problem is a confidence problem, low confidence = bad shooting, high confidence = good shooting.

Thanks for all the input everyone.

Good for you Kyle! I had a similar problem when I started shooting again after my surgery. It took a few days but now I'm back to stacking them in the kill zone! Keep practicing! I try to shoot about 5 dozen arrows a day at different ranges. Some known and some not.

The way I've been practicing is to throw the arrows to different places from the target and shoot from wherever the tip of the arrows land. I'll throw some close and some as far as I can get them. It seems to be helping. I've notice I definitely drae shorter with this methods that's been working. It's knocked me from a 26.5" draw to a 25".

Thats an idea I hadn't thought about, I'm going to try that. My normal draw is 27 inches but when I shot my hunting bow,  I draw closer to 26 inches.

PEARL DRUMS:
Kyle you will learn in the DVD's why that type of shooting can really burn you or really make you feel like a champ. Consistency is key, more than form. Even if you short draw and snap shoot, you can be just fine if its the same exact process each time. When you start getting too many moving parts like you are, it only takes one to be off and your arrow is 12" left for the day. A consistent draw should be your focus. Try closing your eyes and releasing arrows at 3-4 yards, over and over and over until you draw the same each time. Draw elbow level, consistent anchor point and follow through is hard to beat.
