Curing Target panic Olympic Recurve

I left out at the end, that the student should ALWAYS have an arrow nocked on the bow when doing the exercises to anchor on the face.
ALWAYS.

I did not have an arrow on the bow during my demonstration, but in the actual lessons, they always have an arrow.

One, you dont want a dry fire, and two, some archers with target panic can draw and anchor with no arrow, but cant with an arrow.

I should also have said, that i have my students score with these targets, mixing targets etc, to really push the target panic and anxiety and have them deal with the issue.

After 4-6 months of this training, the archer will be able to shoot any of the targets on the bale, from 122cm to 3 spot with the same relaxed shot.
