I developed reverse panic. Got my bow 3-4 years ago, shot every day leading up to and during the season. No panic when I got a shot. Practicing less and less, only 3 days before season this year. Missed my first opportunity. Second opportunity was a horrible shot placement, but got the deer. So to your point, no piece of gear will fix it. Only repetition and diligent practice.
Super interesting. That's awesome you picked up on that. Usually it's the other way around. When folks shoot too much they get too much in their own head, start overthinking, and the panic sets in. This is a great example, and a reminder, that everyone is a little bit different and this isn't a cookie cutter process. Thanks for chiming in. 👊🏼
I really loved the Road to Bow Season and I can feel that this series will be great as well. Great handful of tips to solve what plagues us all. Looking forward to the next one
Stan releases have a safety pin that lets you fire the release without it actually opening the jaw and releasing the d loop. You can work through your shot and it is amazing how much you will flinch as it goes off but with just a few practice shots the flinching goes away and your actual shots will improve instantly.
Brother a nothing great video your spot on with your exact points on training I too allow my wife to help with my release for the same reason . Keep the videos coming
Josh, another awesome video with great knowledge & information. Thanks so much for taking the time to make these videos & sharing. Wife & I are both dealing with a little TP as we just got our new bows about 4 mo ago. I can see all your points & totally get it, THANK YOU !!! Just got done with your book also. Absolute wonderful book ! FYI first book I have read in a while not a real book guy. You rock brother 🤘🏼Hope to meet you someday as I’m in San Diego & started planning on some AZ HUNTS
Thanks so much for warching! Sorry to hear you're dealing with the panic. Not fun! And glad you liked the book man. Got another one that will be available shortly. 😎😎
From my past experience I found that a huge contributor to being part of the shot anxiety is not being in good archery shape. Not being able to control the draw and holding ( acquiring the target) long enough to properly work out breaking the shot. This is where blank bailing can be so important. I have a huge bag target set up level with my shoulder height in my game room. I can work on all my shot processes anytime to keep me is shape. Being in shape will allow you be in so much better control. IMO, it’s an overlooked aspect of TP?👍👍. Waiting on more of your thoughts on this nasty arse affliction.
That's a great point Tim. I can see how not being in shape could set in motion a whole different level of stress on the body, in turn causing more chaos during the shot. Good stuff man. 💪🏼
