I've had well over 100 requests for help

since this thread first posted in May, 2006. I haven't been able to follow up with a lot of these requests so I'd be interested to know how all those shooters with target panic are coming along?

Have you seen postive results?

Jay,

You provided me with instructions last year and it has helped control my short drawing. Occasionally, I will find myself short drawing, but it is usually corrected with a few draw and hold or draw and move right -left before release exercises.

I sometimes still have problems with releasing before my bow arm is "locked on" target. Now I am working on getting a solid bow arm while focused on the spot before releasing.

Thanks for your help, it is good to be in control.

I guess it's time to wrap this one up. I've had over 100 inquiries from this Trad Gang post from men and women wanting help to overcome their target panic. I have received feedback from most these people regarding the results of the target panic interventions. All have experienced relief from target panic. Many claimed to be back in control during the first shooting session while others found a number of shooting sessions necessary to regain their confidence. There seemed to be a trend in that individual shooters were able to hone in on specific drills that worked best for them. I have not seen a case yet, and we are in the hundreds, where the target panic interventions did not work. I guess we can say good riddance to the once dreaded malady. Thanks to all who emailed me their symptoms and put the interventions to the test.

Instinctive Archery Insights: Revised Edition is now being translated and published in Estonian and German. I guess it will be around for a while. I'd like to give it one more final revision someday; however, I am currently working diligently on a new book "Parameters of the Soul." If you think you might be interested in a distinct Christian psychology, constructed from the ground up, keep an eye out for it in 2008. I've been working on this book for 15 years and will be relieved to get it finished.

Thanks to all and good shooting!

I wanted to thank Jay publicly for his advice and help with my son's TP. A few months ago I contacted him and asked for suggestions and drills for my 16 yr old son whose target panic/ snap shooting was about to make him hang it up. The improvements have been very significant and would be much better if my son had more time to devote to any one pursuit. Must be tough, being sixteen...wish I could remember!

I sent Jay a PM this am detailing my specific problem. My problem is that I can't draw and hold when shooting at a target or live animal.
I can hold all day if I know I'm not shooting anything.
He emailed me right back and sent me 4 different little drills to do with my bow.
I went out this aft. and tried them out.
I could not believe the difference it made when I was done the drills.
For the first time in a long time I shot 9 out of 10 arrows with a deliberate hold at full anchor while picking my spot.
My draw felt effortless, the bow quiet and smooth.
Arrow flight was AMAZING!
How these little drills work is beyond me, but it shows how mental archery is.
How in the world 4 SIMPLE drills with my longbow helped my ability to be in control again is amazing.
Jay is a true GURU of this stuff.
If you have not read his book, DO IT!
I'm going to continue the drills every other day for a week until it becomes ingrained.
LOOK OUT critters...I"m BACK!

Thanks Jay.

Hi Rich,
Send me a PM with details about what you are experiencing. Include as much information as possible about the problem and how it effects your shooting. We'll see what we can do.

Dragonslayer · « **Reply #70 on:** March 04, 2007, 02:16:00 PM »

Hello Jay,
Just letting you know I just sent you a letter to you, hopefully it gets there.
Thanking you in advance Mr Kidwell.

1979-That's a long time ago, but that's how long I've been fighting that beast. (That's probably longer than some members have been alive!)It got so bad that when I drove to a 3-D shoot, the closer I got, the more my heart rate accelerated. Ridiculous is what it was. But down right fearful, too.
All I can say is, try Jay's methods. For now, I dropped down in bow weight alittle, but still enough draw weight for whitetails. I also do the drills before shooting any arrows. I can't emphasize enough the importance of getting a DEEP death-grip on the string when you start. That, and learning to shoot using the back muscles has me enjoying shooting again. Am I back to where I was in '78? Nope, but I know I'm headed in the right direction. Thanks, Jay!

Jay - I have not been shooting long enough to develop any consistent problems I can identify. I'm just lousy.

After reading these amazing posts, I was thinking of reading your book to develop good habits before I develop bad ones.

So here is my dumb question - do I need to develop a problem before I could get use from your book?

J-KID · « **Reply #75 on:** March 06, 2007, 11:39:00 PM »

If you have been shooting for a couple months you should not still be lousy. If you follow the process in the book you will see marked impovement very quickly. The book is designed to make new shooters good fast and experienced shooters better. If you integrate the target panic drills from the last chapter into your practice sessions there is little chance you will ever develop the problem and your overall control will increase dramatically. Of course, if I'm wrong about all this I'll buy the book back.
