I get it at times and have to remind myself to keep it simple and think back to the mechanics of the whole deal.Then I go and start close and perfect my form then realize I was panicing at greater distances.I shoot 3 at close range and get mechanics straight and tell myself only difference is which pin at other ranges.Usally taking a break if I'm punching the trigger and it's new world later or another day.I commend you on shooting fingers...I would scare myself!

Thanks, RLoving1. . . yes, i really get spooked when going out at longer yardages. i seem to have the classic symptoms of pre-releasing before the pin gets close and it gets worse the further out i go. I bought Kidwell's book and hopefully that will help. i would like to keep shooting fingers because that is all i have ever done and, to me, it is second nature. i just can't remember the last time i had a bad release...the arrow goes exactly where i aim but getting there has been very difficult. i hear of people using back tension and all with mechanical releases but i don't think that is for me. i am going to cure it and work all year after gun season. Thanks for the support!!

htm, you will be surprised how well you will have the target panic under control just after a few sessions of Jay's drills and then in a few weeks your confidence will be even stronger. You will be able to hold your pin on the bullseye again without having to release.

HTM -yes it does cover target panic and many many other issues...........i'm half way thru the book and it's already being a good 'teacher' for me.......takes you thru many aspects of archery that i personally had never ever thought of........think it's a really cool book and would buy it again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
