Paper tuned and shooting bullet holes, Whats next?
I have my bow shooting bullet holes through paper, whats next, what else can I do to make sure my bow is in fine tuned, I shoot my broadheads and field points in almost the same spot give or take a few inches. Whats left?
Also I am having a problem keeping my pin on target, I just cant seem to settle down and hold steady, it is usually floating around and i find myself trying to shoot before the pin is even on the spot. I can hit the spot, but not every shot and it really bothers me. What can I do to try and fix this?

Shoot from 20, 30, and 40 yards (even further if you want) to check for slight adjustments that needs to be made. If your arrows drift left or right, your centershot isn't just quite perfect.
Target panic is what you're describing. It's a mental thing, and confidence in your abilities and equipment will help that. It's an extremely difficult condition to overcome, but blind bale shooting a TON will help.

It sounds like what you need to do is just the opposite. You need to lock the trigger down on your release and practice aiming without shooting. If there's an adjustment screw on your release, crank it down all the way so that the release can't be fired. Then draw the bow back and concentrate on holding the pin on the target as you go through your mental shot execution sequence for say 5-8 seconds and let down relax, breath and do it again. Repeat it a few dozen times and add 1/2 dozen each day.
