Thanks for the video! Yes these problems are universal. I'm envious of folks who have never suffered from target panic. It kicked my buttocks and I still struggle with it. I have a really good memory of a shot I made on a little 6 point buck many years ago when I did everything right. He came in late morning and I had just put a stand up that morning with "folding step stix" due to a knee surgery. The buck saw the new steps on the tree and he knew that was not there before. He looked right up at me. I had on a leafy head net and I squinted my eyes and he was unsure if I was a threat or not. He began to move forward to get my wind. I picked a spot, but I drew my bow all the way to full draw, then bent at the waist and settled in and released. That 465 grain arrow with a Magnus 2 broadhead file sharpened shaving sharp zipped right through him and stuck in the ground! It was a 7 yd. shot. He didn't go far. That was a success and I love remembering those times but wow, TP can really keep a fellow from enjoying the sport.
Excellent video! Awesome instruction! I still fight target panic but im working on it day by day. This video is a good reminder for beginners and seasoned veterans alike. Thank u and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family
Regarding traditional archery and picking the spot, I would like to share a story from the Bhagavat Gita( sacred book of the Hindus ). When the Master DronaAcharya asks his pupils to describe what they see , Most students describe a tree with a bird on it , however his best student Arjun replies “Eye, all I see is an eye!” .(Bird”s eye). picking a spot seems to be old as time itself :)
We all have too many bills. But you cant blame the man for making a little off something he puts so much time into. I'm not subscribed to his paid account either. He still has a bunch of free information
@@SamkoTradBow - We all have to make a living somehow, I understand. No hard feelings man. I hope you and your family have a great holiday. Merry Xmas.
Its funny to see this video pop up this morning, I am currently working on a video idea similar to this same idea, Snap shooting is an interesting topic, and your right, when so many are using a psycho trigger like the fletch touching the nose and you showing the thumb hitting the nose. I have had one particular buddy tell me, he didnt know what happened, he said it was more like he recalls drawing back, and almost like he blacked out and dont recall even shooting. I have put so much thought into this statement of his trying to come up with a solution to help him and that is so awesome to see this video that is very similar to the same concept you are talking about. Another Interesting fact is back in 1984, Fred bear did a video and talks about Snap shooters versus instinctive shooting and in stead of using the word "target panic," because that word had not been created and promoted as a term, he said some guys will experience a pause or hesitation caused form the stress. Thank you for taking the time to to make this video and keep up the great work sir I totally agree, it is an issue that each individual has to find for himself or herself. Have a blessed week and good luck the rest of the season Dale
very well said and agree 100%. It hits so many of us in different ways and there is not one way to beat it. But we all need to find a way to beat or control it.
@@HeartlandMakesAndOutdoors and that's comming from the legend Fred Bear who shot a kodiak bear at about 12 yards. Only thing as impressive was the camera guy filming it stayed on focus.
Hey Jason, can you make a video? I’ve never had this problem before but I got a new bow and occasionally when I pull back, the arrow comes off the shelf almost like it’s twisting on the string. Can you make a video about this or give me any kind of advice of what I’m doing wrong here.
that usually happens becuase your are tightening your fingers on the string as you pull the string. you are rolling the string and kicking it off. keep your finger pressure and position the same as you draw.
@ I had another question for you your bows are absolutelybeautiful. if I called Steve at Northern mist and asked him to duplicate one of your bows. Would you be upset with me?
great video Jason. I have tried both ends of the spectrum and have see-sawed somewhere to the middle…like most things in life. The more you try, the more you’ll have to pull from to create your own system.
Are you finding shooting from you elbow counters the short draw symptoms and acquiring site line and bow position? Since you are in full draw before you tilt your head in to your anchor it should also be less likly rush the release.
Sight line and bow position for me as an instinctive shooter is not something I think about or pay attention to. Only things running thru my mind are focus on the spot, push to release.
Fred Asbell, rest his soul. screwed more people up with that swing draw than he helped.. That VHS screwed me up. And it took a good portion of my life to fix it! You have to be structured. We can pretend and try to him or make excuses all we want. But if you cannot control the bow and your shot you have target panic. The sooner you admit it and then do the research and take the steps to grid. And its an absolute grind to get it fixed. you will never become the shooter you could be.. Traditional archery is one of the most coolest things, seeing the flight of that arrow is amazing thing that releases endorphins in your brain. But it is also so frustrating..
I actually love the swing draw and still do it to this day. 30 years of swing draw. Feels natural and perfect for me personally. But we all have to find what works best.
Nice video like always! Hey can you do a shooting video on how you should breathe & about closing eyes just before releasing your arrow. PS don't keep leaving your door open like you did in this video. Especially at night you may get an unwanted rodent guest in your 4x4.
PLEASE READ THIS! Get Joel Turner's course! All of your struggles are unnecessary. I shoot with many styles even shooting from the chest with a short selfbow with no holding at full draw and no anchor. Its applicable to any style. The holy grail in shooting does exist. People struggle due to a lack of knowledge

@donaldbuckner2935 sounds like a great and memorable hunt. And agree the target panic hits us all at sometime or another some way or another

Good stuff, going to work on the push. Keep them coming.
I can shoot great then go out three hours later and miss by 12 inches. Drives me nuts.
Yep the mental aspect plays a big role. Mind not in it, the shooting drops off.
Really disappointing you put all of your hunts on a paid service (Patreon), would love to watch but I have enough bills as it is.
We all have too many bills. But you cant blame the man for making a little off something he puts so much time into. I'm not subscribed to his paid account either. He still has a bunch of free information
I have to may my bills too and its thru videos that I do it. UA-cam sure doesnt pay enough. without patreon Id have to get a day job.

@greeneyesfromohio4103 hope you guys have a great Christmas as well
Great video, you must be watching me shoot, this is a bad habit I've been working to break.
@@bowman321123 it gets us all.
Thanks for your videos! They are very informative and helpful!

@@tonypace2009 Agreed friend, I so agree, the camera guys had nerves of steel on some of those hunts for sure.
Good advice Jason i work on it
I continually lose focus on the shoulder and start "watching" like and old nature documentary lol still fun
Happens to all of us

more of a cam hanes compound bow guy but cool to see different types and perspectives of archery - Keep Hammering!
Cameron is one heck of a great hunter.
Nice video like always!

about closing eyes just before releasing your arrow.
PS don't keep leaving your door open like you did in this video. Especially at night you may get an unwanted rodent guest in your
4x4.
I am much more accurate when I push the bow. It takes practice to time the push.
agree
