Tim KjellesvikHOST
that's coming up.
Tim KjellesvikHOST
I, of course, I'm still dealing with my typical target panic issues.
Tim KjellesvikHOST
That's why I was just, I met up with the guy that helps me with, with, with, my bow and he's, he's more or less a coach for me.
Tim KjellesvikHOST
And yeah, it's weird.
Tim KjellesvikHOST
pulled the
Matt DruryHOST
trigger just
Tim KjellesvikHOST
to kind of help get rid of the target panic.
Matt DruryHOST
Yep.
Jameson CurtisGUEST
Yeah, that's liver and gut.
Jameson CurtisGUEST
The reason why I didn't stop this one is because of, well, probably the exact reason why I missed the deer, a little bit of target panic.
Jameson CurtisGUEST
But I'm like, I've never been the greatest at, I don't have a lot of, I've never been very good at shooting something and killing it.
Jameson CurtisGUEST
I'm still growing in that.
Jameson CurtisGUEST
So I'm a really good shot.
Jameson CurtisGUEST
And, uh, but when it comes to shooting animals, I just don't have that, you know, this is that pressure that gets to your head.
Jameson CurtisGUEST
And when you just get that target panic, um, So in my head, this deer is out at 30 some yards and he's just walking just real slow, kind of just head down and kind of had this little limp to him.
Jameson CurtisGUEST
And I actually have it on our Wild at Heart page.
Curt GeierGUEST
Yeah.
Curt GeierGUEST
And that's all, like, forms of target panic.
Curt GeierGUEST
And honestly, I think – I don't have – Bad, bad target panic.
Curt GeierGUEST
But I will get to a point, shooting, especially now, not shooting as much as I normally do, where I got to just work out the cobwebs a little bit, where, like, my pen will be floating, and then I do get that subconscious, dump it, dump it, now, now, now.
Curt GeierGUEST
And I think I'm going to go back and shoot this for a little while and see if that fixes it.
Curt GeierGUEST
Like the panic of the deer walking, like, I could see that.
Curt GeierGUEST
It has probably cost me some shot opportunities, but I think when I've shot deer and made good shots, I think a release like this has helped me through a lot of... high stress situations yeah my own brain you know right sure oh i actually saw i i found this thing i'm like man i don't know what i did with that release well i have my little desk right here i'm like shit it's been sitting here so the whole thing needing to get it out so i'm glad we're talking about because i'm putting it on the desk so i'm gonna switch releases and shoot and just have some fun i'm glad i
Nate ThomasHOST
could do that for you yeah and luckily i uh got another i don't want to talk about this too much because i don't want to jinx myself but I have never experienced what people talk about when they talk about target panic.
Ken LibertonGUEST
I got a couple of them, so.
Neil CooleyHOST
Is it more of a aiming reference for you on the target panic side, or is it... 'Cause a lot of the people don't realize the older round wheel bows, they're pretty spongy on the back end.
Ken LibertonGUEST
Yeah.
Neil CooleyHOST
So you could be at full draw and creep a little bit.
Adam BrookeGUEST
just jacking.
Adam BrookeGUEST
And this guy over here, he's rolling a hinge because he's had target panic for five years.
Adam BrookeGUEST
And he's watching every YouTube video known to man.
Adam BrookeGUEST
And this kid over here, he's just punching a trigger, killing deer, loving life.
Adam KeithHOST
Just
Adam BrookeGUEST
take it –
Adam KeithHOST
I've said a lot that I feel like target panic.
Adam KeithHOST
I get target panic the more I shoot.
Matt DruryHOST
The problem is if your sequence, if you're having problems with any part of your sequence, it makes every shot.
Matt DruryHOST
hard yeah i was talking to him off camera before i'm struggling again with target panic for some reason i i have a history of punching the trigger here in the last couple years just a bad habit of it and um i find myself trying to count once i put my finger like it's almost impossible for me to take my index finger and get it out because i shoot a um copper style release aid And to get my finger over on the trigger once I do it, like mentally, it's like, I got to shoot.
Matt DruryHOST
It's got to happen.
Matt DruryHOST
I got to shoot.
Tim KjellesvikHOST
You don't like that ceiling.
Tim KjellesvikHOST
Nope.
Tim KjellesvikHOST
Well, speaking of like target panic stuff, Sophie's been shooting out in the backyard quite a bit.
Tim KjellesvikHOST
She wants to hunt the vertical bow this year.
Oliver OckenholtGUEST
Yeah, and I was just...
Oliver OckenholtGUEST
I was messing around with target panic and expectations and things.
Oliver OckenholtGUEST
And I was shooting pretty well, but I had a hard time handling the pressure, so...
Oliver OckenholtGUEST
Yeah, so that was that.
Oliver OckenholtGUEST
now, and I think I think the problem was that coming from the European 3d championships in October And then heading right into the Leo Invitationals, I had like two or three weeks to get something new running.
Oliver OckenholtGUEST
I thought that I had a good system running, but it just wasn't forgiving enough.
Oliver OckenholtGUEST
And then came the target panic, hitting me like a train.
Oliver OckenholtGUEST
I was having major problems with being stuck.
Joel TurnerGUEST
Well, the story is I started elk hunting, you know, I grew up in Washington state and you don't get a lot of opportunities in that state.
Joel TurnerGUEST
Like you get one, maybe two shots a year when you're, you know, I was 14 years old, complete target panic mess, got to hunt.
Joel TurnerGUEST
You know, I grew up in a little log in town and one of my buddies had probably the greatest elk property in the whole area.
Joel TurnerGUEST
so I got to hunt with him we grew up hunting together and it was frustrating man like I could call these things in I started out calling when I was 12 and I just got kind of lucky there I guess you know sticking that mouth read my mouth for the first time and and actually was able to make sounds with it didn't gag on anything like that so so that worked out pretty good and and I didn't know anything about elk calling but I loved hearing that bugle and man it was I You know, we'd go to Friday night football games and we'd hang out and then we'd go to his house.

Weston HomaHOST
And as we wrap up here, I just want to say too, as we're talking about shot execution, just wanted to say as well with that, appreciate everything you've put out there.
Weston HomaHOST
Just me personally with watching some of your stuff.
Weston HomaHOST
I don't think I've really ever suffered from this target panic.
Weston HomaHOST
but just listening to you over the years has definitely opened my mind up to a lot more things.
Jake NorrisHOST
You're okay with it.
Jake NorrisHOST
You start getting target panic.
Jake NorrisHOST
So you go to a hint, a thumb button, and that fixes the problem for a month.
Jake NorrisHOST
And you're like, man, I'm so good at fix the problem.
Jake NorrisHOST
Thank God.
Jake NorrisHOST
And then you start getting target panic with that.
Jake NorrisHOST
So then you go to a hinge and you're like, oh man, it fixed the problem with that.
Jake NorrisHOST
But then you can still have target panic with a hinge, especially at distance.
