Still can't break the target panic

<< < (2/6) > >>

TimBo:
I have had lots of issue with this, and have improved a bunch this year.  Rich's method sounds good; I have had some luck with making a loop of velcro tape to put on the arrow shaft with enough pointing down to feel it on my bow hand - same as making the arrows the right length, but you can use longer arrows when needed.  The biggest thing has been making sure I get to full draw though, making sure my back muscles are working, and pushing towards the target with my bow hand.  Picturing my draw arm lined up behind the arrow helps too (it probably is just another way to think about back tension).

i broke my target panic quite easily. for me it was all about rhythm. i counted... as i drew i consciously thought " anchor, two, release (on three)". i found it just got me loosing on simple command at first but soon became subconscious rhythm

AndrewS:
@Kyle
you wrote: "If I focus on exactly where I want to hit with the snap shooting I can hit pretty close, but if I focus of the draw and form instead o the target in seperate steps I loose the arrow Before I can even think about the target..."

and you do right with your snap shooting cause the basicly part of snap or instinctive shooting is to focus the point on the target, where you want to hit. Drawing and releasing the arrow runs automaticlly ....
the question is: do you want to hit pretty close or do you want  to shoot with a good form a perfect draw and a long anchortime  ;)?

PEARL DRUMS:
Hey Kyle, I trust you. I have all four Masters of the Barebow DVD series you can borrow and send back to me when you're done. Number four is probably the best for you, but the others will all have tid-bits in them to help out. I battle the same thing you do, but I've gotten much better the last 2-3 months. PM me if your interested in borrowing them.
