My cure to TP

[ranger 3]

OK I could never get to anchor before the arrow was gone. It was so bad that my hand was hitting my mouth, I couldn't even hold it if my buddy would tell me to hold and when to shoot. So this is my cure, I hung a roll of masking tape with a piece of string in front of my target. I would swing and spin it a little and would have to wait to get a good shot. This has worked so good for me that now shooting outside without the tape I can hold on target and even wait till my buddy tells me to shoot. I hope that this will help someone with similar problems.

Good idea...  only way I can keep it under control is to start close with eyes closed and work on form and getting to full draw and holding a second.  then  do same with open eyes as long as I can hold while focusing on what I intend to shoot.  if i let go, then i start over with eyes closed.  if i can do it 10 shots with no problems...then I move back a couple steps and repeat....   that is all that works for me...not worrying about where I hit but getting used to feeling the bow at full draw while focusing on my target.  I have to refresh myself or resync if you will on regular basis.

good luck...

I have struggled with TP for years.  These days it comes and goes.  This is why I do not like shooting at "dots" on targets--it gets worse.  Stumping and hunting, I have NO problems.  (this IS true, I have no issues with it when aiming at game).  My issue is that I'll get to full draw, but trying to get "on the dot", I'll freeze just below it.  This causes me to "yank up and release".  I work at holding on target and counting to three before releasing, or having my daughters tell me when to shoot.  It speaks volumes for good practice habits and shooting form.

My son and I have a game we play at least once a week that I think helps. We have at least five different targets set up all close to each other. One person draws to anchor somewhere in the middle of all the targets and the other calls out which target to shoot. Sometimes we get a little carried away and make the other person hold for 8 to 10 seconds.
When we first started this game it was just for fun but anymore if I find myself getting a little quick on the release a few rounds of this seems to help. We do this a lot between 5 and 20 yds. Dave

Good ideal. I have had it. now I have a shot sequence I go through it has made a big difference.

Masters of the barebow IV and there mr. Jay Kidwell instructs to get to anchor and then not to hold to bulls eye, but move your arrow tip sideways over the target, and let down, then same thing, but vertically, and let down... kinda reprogramming your  subconscious... to me getting a light bow ( now I really get my elbow back, solid anchor, ease with push and pull), close bale training and this reprogramming have gained me control over my TP
