Traditional Archery And Target Panic: Simulated Shooting

During my two years of constant struggle with target panic I tried many possible solutions. One of the more promising methods I came up with I call simulated shooting. I tried this method during the period of time when I was working on my own cure for target panic. During the first year or so, I tried everything I had heard or read about with mixed results but no definite cure. Thereafter, I just worked on my own original ideas. My ideas all centered on gaining control. I was convinced that this was where I was going to find my cure. With target panic you have no real control. I wanted to decide exactly how I shot and exactly when I wanted to release the arrow (i.e. complete control).

With lots of practice I found some relief of my target panic symptoms using simulated shooting. Here
