Dear Fellow Traditional Archer,
Thank you for visiting PushRelease.com. If you suffer from target panic, you will find the solution to your problem here. Symptoms of target panic may differ from person to person, but most often they will include one or more of the following:
- a premature release
- freezing outside of the target picture
- a short draw
- mental tension
- an overwhelming urge to loosen the arrow
- snap shooting
- difficulty holding
- shaking
- flinching
- poor accuracy
- a lack of control
These symptoms tend to get worse while shooting in front of others or in pressure situations like bowhunting or shooting in tournaments. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, or you’re not calm and relaxed at full draw, then you’re suffering from target panic. My name is Michael Linsin. About six years ago, I developed a case of target panic that progressed quickly and got so bad I almost gave up traditional archery altogether.
My initial response was to practice more. However, each practice session soon became more and more demoralizing as my symptoms of target panic continued to get worse. Eventually, they progressed to the point where I could barely get my bow back. So I spent the next two years researching target panic and experimenting with possible solutions. I read everything I could get my hands on about target panic and worked through every potential cure available, but nothing seemed to work. Some of the techniques I tried to cure my target panic included:
- shooting at a blank bale
- shooting with my eyes closed
- repeating a word or phrase at full draw before releasing
- counting before releasing
- rotational aiming
- visualization
- activating my back muscles for a "surprise" release
- pushing with my bow hand to trigger the release
- meditation and relaxation exercises
- simulated shooting with surgical tubing
- focusing on extraneous stimuli—like the sound of the arrow hitting the target
I experienced some success with a few of these in alleviating my symptoms, but they were short lived and my target panic would always come back with a vengeance. Many days I would return from practicing and announce to my wife that I was going to quit, that it wasn’t worth it anymore, but I hate the thought of quitting anything and traditional archery and bowhunting was part of my family history. My grandfather was an avid outdoorsman and my father has been shooting with traditional equipment for more than 50 years. I was even writing a book at the time about archery (Archery Strong). So giving up wasn’t an option for me.
I knew that if I was ever to enjoy archery again, I needed to discover something new—a surefire cure for target panic. The methods of curing target panic listed above require immense mental effort. They are meant to help you shoot with calmness and control, but have proven to be unreliable and not nearly effective enough to overcome the incredibly powerful cause of target panic.
Target panic is caused by the repetitive nature of archery combined with your desire to shoot well. Because you do the same thing over and over again—bringing your bow hand on target and releasing the arrow—you are subconsciously teaching yourself to release sooner and sooner. Add to this your desire for positive results (i.e. accurate shooting, high scores, successful hunting), and you have the perfect recipe for target panic. In other words, the repeated act of shooting a bow is causing your target panic.
This can be very difficult to fix. Which is why most, if not all, traditional archers and bowhunters suffer from some form of target panic. Although many try to control it by releasing an inch or two from full draw, or by snap shooting, or by other creative compensations.
Given the cause of target panic and the difficulty of overcoming it with the solutions available, it was clear to me that I needed to discover a new technique or new way of shooting that met a set of strict criteria.
An effective target panic cure needed to:
- treat the root cause of target panic
- eliminate all symptoms of target panic
- not rely on mental tricks
- work every time
- be easy to learn
- be subtle (I didn’t want others to notice I was using a technique to combat target panic)
A tall order to be sure, but a problem I felt I could solve if I kept working at it. From 2001 through most of the summer of 2002, I worked diligently on a new cure for target panic. I shot thousands of wood arrows with both my longbow and recurve. I had some success, but nothing was ever completely foolproof until one day in August of that year.
I went with my dad and two nephews out to friend’s farm to help him sight in his .270 rifle for the upcoming deer season. What I witnessed that first morning of rifle shooting forever changed my thinking about archery and target panic. As I watched my dad calmly and confidently squeeze the trigger—and shoot with precision shot after shot—I experienced a flash of clarity that happens only occasionally in one’s lifetime. In that instant, I knew I had found my cure.
Later that afternoon I set up a portable archery target and shot my bow with a level of control and confidence I’d never experienced before. My target panic was gone completely. I'd found my cure, and was finally able to enjoy the true freedom of traditional archery. Six years later and I am still shooting the same way. You can too. My target panic cure is called the Push Release and I am certain that it will give you the same control and accuracy—not to mention the freedom and joy—that I experience every time I shoot.
