2 Blade, good luck on your target panic.  I don't know what the answer is, wish I did. My panic is slightly different. I can't release the arrow, I just hold and hold and hold.

I had the hold, hold crud starting in May of this year.  I went to a heavier weight bow and more curl of my fingers on the string (deeper hook), decreased the # of arrows I was shooting, focus on quality shots, doing much,much better.  It crept back up on me.  I have not had TP issues since 1991.  I thought it was a thing of the past and it reared its nasty head in May.  Sometimes you have to decrease the # of arrows you shoot to decrease the reinforcement of bad habits and negative thinking.  I believe you want to shoot more good shots than poor shots in a practice session.  You have to honestly know when you should shoot and when you need to rest.  It is easy to fall into just shooting lots of arrows and reinforcing bad habits.  I think quality in shots is where it is at.  You know how many shots you need to shoot.  You may need to shoot a clicker for a while to program in that you keep maintaining back tension.  Clickers can be helpful for some and an absolute necessity for others.

Jays drill are really helping me. With my little shooting range I have in my room im holding as needed at full draw and im not trying to release early. Im getting more pumped about this rabbit hunt I couldnt do it last year cause of my shooting but it looks like it could work out. I know its just a rabbit but ive been really looking foreword to this.
