RE: target panic
You might try going to full draw, put the pin on the target and holding for 60 second before releasing. This technique has helped me in the past. You seem to relax more while you hold on the target. After awhile it's second nature to just relax as you draw.

That is exactly what you should NOT do to cure target panic.
