it was a pleasure watching all your videos from this series leading up to the end! There will always be room for improvement no matter who you are, but getting out and putting in the effort is the important part, thank you for your time and effort💪
I too had an issue with holding the bow, I saw a John Dudley video where he talks about holding a lighter with the bottom 3 fingers, that was what I was looking for to get a truly torque free hold on the bow. (I was holding the bow like you putting pressure on the fingers into the grip) Nice job. Enjoyed the video
I love the determination, target panic almost made me quit. My aha moment was blank baling. 3ft away, eyes closed. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP. I thought it was stupid at first….blueprint that feeling….it will make you jump not knowing when it will fire. The release should surprise you, every time. Don’t worry about pin float, keep staring where you want to hit. Focus on shot execution. Doesn’t matter where the arrow hits. It will get better. Your bow arm will go forward and to the left….thats the follow through. Release arm will go back, right hand will end almost touching your right shoulder.
Thank you!🙏 I’ve heard target panic would cause people to quit before. I am glad you didn’t and wanted to fix it! I am going to have to try blank bailing with my eyes closed. When blank bailed for this challenge I was just shooting at the target aimlessly. Thanks for the tips and motivation, I appreciate you stopping by the channel🤘🏻👍🏻
@@Tolook I was there man. Thought I was the one guy who wouldn’t get it. Blank bale, eyes closed. Focus all your effort in to contracting that rhomboid muscle, it’s not a giant movement, but when you contract it your arm/shoulder will pull away…that’s the feeling. Once you work through that, panic will still creep in when you start moving away from the target. The shot process/execution doesn’t change. Look through your site and focus on something small on the target, pin should be almost blurred. Don’t try and control the pin, let that bit&@ float, you cannot care where it hits, that will come with time. All your focus will be on is contracting that muscle. You’ll yank some shots off, it’ll creep back in. Back to blind bales. Every shot…every single shot should surprise you. Bow only outdoors channel has GREAT info. One more thing, as your muscles tire from shooting, everything will begin to collapse, making it harder to execute. Stand tall, chest out, keep working through it.
@@aaronmeuser8931absolutely! I did the eyes closed blank bail today! That would be a good warm up to do before going to shoot at regular distances. Right up on the target to feel the surprise! It will really helpful! 🤝🏻🤝🏻 one thing I learned and love about the bow hunting community is we are all here to help each other get better, and you’re a perfect representation of that. Thanks for being willing to take the time to talk and give me some more tips to improve 🤝🏻🤙🏻
@@Tolook anytime! I want to help others beat target panic. Bc I know the struggle is real! Keep working through it. A lot of misinformation out there….but I agree, it’s a great warm up to get the feeling. You’re on the right track when every single shot is a surprise. Every fiber in your body is telling you to punch that trigger so it can pre react to the explosion. The battle is being ok with being surprised, second is let the pin dance while staring at the target and just focus on contraction of the rhomboid. Lots of check points when things break down. Holler if you encounter any issues.
There’s a moment every archer fights when the release isn’t firing when you think it should, you have to fight that one moment when you know your pin is settled perfectly inside exactly where you’re aiming…EVERYTHING says PUNCH IT! Or this stupid thing should be firing, I’m going to force it! Reel it in, in that moment, that’s when you become comfortable with the surprise, and focusing on that surprise yields the reward and you’ll chase that feeling every time. Only then grasshopper will you reach enlightenment 😂. Jk I’m just a regular dude still chasing that feeling. Best of luck!
Excellent work Cam!! This is the type of video that makes you remember sitting on your ass won't make you a better shot. Getting out there and doing it will! Keep up the great work!!
Gratulations! You made some big improvements...work on your back tension...maybe shortn your draw length...the surprise shot does not happen yet. The bow ist too steady after the shot!
@@Tolook Thank you for the support. I am struggling through my bad draw form and hoping it will get better as I can’t lower my poundage anymore. Any tips?!
@@DeepSouthPursuits your draw looks good in your newest vid! I leaned doing my challenge to set your hand before drawing. You’re really gripping your bow when you drew in the latest vid! Try that and see how it goes! 👍🏻 what poundage are you pulling?
@@TheRedding89 100% give it a try! Shooting everyday will help you improve drastically! But everyone is like that. Some days we shoot amazing and the next we can’t hit the dot to save our lives. I experienced this sighting in the other week. I had to stop and try again the next day. Couldn’t get my form the same every shot and got frustrated with it. The next day I was back to normal. It happens to everyone. But heck yeah!Glad to have you in the archery community! What bow are you shooting?
@@Tolook Mathews V3X. Found it at my local archery shop brand new last year and got a smokin deal on it. What helped you find a consistent anchor point?
@@TheRedding89 that’s sweet! Putting the release in the same spot on my face helped me get a solid anchor point. From there I’d lean into the string to touch the tip of my nose and find my peep! 👍🏻
@@Buckhunter-zl4zd yes that is target panic. What I would recommend is blank bailing. Cover your target in some way to where you can not see the dot you are aiming at on your target. Then draw back, once at full draw put your pin on the target, take a deep breath and shoot. Hit the target but right now we don’t care where it hits. Work at that then remove the cover or however you are blocking the dots on your target and do the same thing. Draw, deep breath, shoot. Get comfortable with that then move to getting your shot process dialed in. Draw, deep breath, pull your release away from your bow to create that surprise shot, then shoot! Archery is 80% mental and 20% form. You’re going to get it! Basically everyone that shoots has a form of target panic or had one and fixed it! You can too🤙🏻🤙🏻

do you close an eye when aiming?
@@samalsaihati533 not typically. I usually just squint my off eye. I have toyed around with closing my off eye before though!
I am plain out terrible at shooting the bow I have been shooting the second I get the sight on the target any tips
I think this would be considered tigger panic but idk
Or target mb
@@Buckhunter-zl4zd yes that is target panic. What I would recommend is blank bailing. Cover your target in some way to where you can not see the dot you are aiming at on your target.
