Traditional Archery And Target Panic: The Drive By

All forms of target panic are frustrating, but one of the more insidious is the dreaded “freezing”. Several years ago, before I was able to cure my target panic for good, I fought through a case of freezing. I developed it while battling a premature release. Releasing the arrow too early was my first experience with target panic. In an attempt to cure my early release, I worked on holding at full draw. I assumed that if I practiced the hold exclusively, then all of my target panic troubles would go away. So I worked hard at it, practicing the hold daily with my longbow. I didn’t take a shot for a month. I thought I could teach my brain to hold comfortably (i.e. without mental tension and that incredible urge to release too soon) whenever I came to full draw.

Anyone that is acquainted with success understands why. If you want to be the best you can be you have to set the standards bar pretty high and if you want to be better than anyone else on a given field, you have to achieve “excellence” at all times…and as Aristotle once said, not as an act, but rather as a habit.
