Target panic

Target panic

In archery, target panic is a psychological condition that forces the archer into a premature hold or release of the arrow.

Target panic is indicated by one of two primary symptoms depending on the shooting style of the archer. An archer who uses sights or a reference point for aiming will hold prematurely, before the target is fully acquired. An archer who shoots instinctively will release the arrow prematurely, again before the target is acquired. An archer with target panic will find his or her accuracy greatly diminished.
