- Target panic and aiming anxiety quickly becomes more problematic when you try to make shots that are super tough. Often times people aggravate their anxiety by choosing the wrong spots to practice on. Remember, it’s always critical to trust the float and by choosing a target that give you a little more margin of error helps prevent trigger anticipation and freezing under the target.

I gotta give it to you! I started bow hunting 5 years ago and had trouble in my first season. So I watched your school if nock series and immediately improved. Thanks!
Perfect place to start down the rabbit hole
love to hear it!!
Thanks Dudley I’m sticking with ya bc Winke, And you’re really helpful and slow to speak. Stay blessed my friend. I really enjoy the content you create!
You know that old saying that practice makes perfect? It’s a lie; or partly a lie. What it should be is PERFECT practice makes perfect. Making 10 shots perfectly is far more valuable than making 1000 shots badly. Train the right habits and you’ll have the right habits. Train the wrong ones…. And you’ll have them too.
Every practice shot I make I force myself off of autopilot. I make sure my feet are right. And hips. Draw pressure. Anchor point. Then sight alignment. Then I concentrate on the release to be able to stop myself at any point before it goes off. The last one is what I struggle with most. But my shooting has improved drastically by doing this. And as far as target panic, you’re 100% on point. I need to see the target around my pin or it unsettles me. But now (third year shooting as an adult) I’m shooting 6-7” 10 arrow groups at 70 yards consistently. Mind you, I shoot ~100 arrows a night 4-5x every other week. Lots of reps.
Thanks for coming out with these videos lately. Many of my thoughts about archery are being validated.
I’ve been at this for almost 5 years now. The best thing I’ve ever done was going to a thumb release over an index. I hold so much more steady and don’t anticipate shots at all anymore.
Wish I had seen this earlier - would have prevented a few weeks frustration. I made targets with 1inch dots and concentric circles - 2in, 3in and 4in - to test my numbered arrows. The small 1 inch dot created target panic so that I struggled to keep all arrows within 3inches at 20 m. after much frustration I dumped that and made 2in dots followed by concentric circles. I could keep all arrows within the bigger 2 inch dot at 20m. Couldn't agree more - small dots stole the pleasure making shooting a pain.
I needed this today every yardage I have shot today has been money except 40 yards I like it aim big miss small gonna have to give this concept a go this afternoon. I almost let 40 yds kill my vibe this morning. Thanks JD for some great advice!…
Great video! I have used this idea for a while. I see it more as having a target big enough to center your pin inside, so you can tell if you are shifted in any one direction. My aim is still "small," as I am trying to maintain my pin in the exact center.
To me, it is the same concept as centering the sight housing in your peep so that you can see any misalignment.
I always dial an extra yard or on very small targets and float low so I can see the desired impact point.
Awesome video thanks for posting it. I think this will help me a lot
Needed this tip today. Much appreciated.
Great advice. Thank you!
Great little video and great advice
I have to opposite problem. The smaller the target the better I shoot but give me a big dot or a indoor target face and keeping it centered in a struggle.
Keep the content coming!
Excellent information!
I spent a couple hours talking to Gillingham on the phone a few years back he told me him or his wife completely quit aiming at dots or circles during practice. He stated that it was the same shape as the pin therefore you see movement in 360 degree area and it becomes magnified. Obviously squares or diamonds help with this unless they are small. I personally starting aiming at lines if i start struggling and or sighting in a new tape etc.
yessir, i have a horizontal and vertical line of tape across my block target and i shoot at the vertical one to check left and right and horizontal for up and down for new tapes
This makes so much sense.
Good stuff !
I am shooting your Backstrap ! Virtually eliminated TP !
Too complicated! Set your Aim once & forget it. Focus then on executing the shot. If you notice your pin drop your mind is in the wrong place. Stay on the back end of your shot not the pin. This is why Bodie Turner is kicking everyone’s ass! He could careless where his pin is. He knows if the shot is prepared all he has to do is keep pulling & his subconscious will always find the center!!!!
I often jump the trigger when Im shooting a target. When I am hunting I'm as cool as can be and hit my spot on the animal every time except one time. I didn't know the first time I was hunting elk and I shot at the elk wile it was looking at me and it ducked my arrow lol. I was not happy but more surprised than any thing. I was only 40 years away. I never new something that big could drop to the ground so fast. The thing is after 3 shots I start jumping the trigger. Makes me so mad.
What is your aiming process on live game?? Do ya pick a spot on the animal, or place pin on center of kill zone???
I’m not sure why it’s happening but I always get stuck high, just above where I wanna hit and sometimes find myself punching the trigger to get the shot over with
Keep your index or thumb off the release and just practice holding the pin on target. You'll find yourself jerking the first few times without even having a finger on the trigger.
@@sapperROSS I tried this and you’re exactly right. Now to correct it when I have my finger on the trigger… lol

Hello John, do you shoot with a scope lense?
The center of everything is the same size.
