Why is Target Panic so mysterious? I see a lot of people that are trying to help others, with their systems to help get rid of target panic. The problem with this is target panic is different for everyone. You may have a similar problem like holding low, or you can’t get to full draw or maybe you can’t hold long enough to get a good sight picture. While the form of target panic may be the same, everyone has different underlying reason why this is happening. This is why one size doesn’t fit all.
A system will work for some and help in the short term; however, you usually end up with a lifetime struggle with this problem. You need to fix the problem where it lives in the mind–you need to remedy that underlying reason. Laying a system over a problem only works as long as the system is maintained or as long as your brain doesn’t catch on. Once the brain catches on, all bets are off.
Target panic has to be addressed on an individual basis. Remember your brain is trying to help you fix a problem that has been in your mind long before you picked up your bow. For instance, maybe you had an anxious moment that happened a long time ago. This feeling is now hidden in your subconscious. Now when you shoot your bow that feeling of anxiety is brought to the surface because It stands in the way of your shot being perfect. This is your personal form of target panic. The way this feeling was brought to life is personal to you. This is the situation that needs to be fixed or let go of. Once in hypnosis this moment can be resolved, the anxiety goes away and the target panic disappears for good.
On a subconscious level, you picked this sport in order to better yourself. Archery is about self mastery; you master the bow, then the physical aspects of your shot, and then the mental aspect of shooting and competition. And most people agree that the mental aspects of archery are 95% of the challenge.
Do yourself a favor and stop looking for answers outside of yourself. Changing equipment and or method won’t give you what you are looking for. If you want to stop this problem, change your mind! The mind is not such a mystery once you understand how it works. Hypnosis is one of the fastest ways to bring peace to the conflicts we all carry within ourselves. So unlock the mystery of your personal target panic with hypnosis.
