JMO 1. A half-inch can make the difference between a moving pin vs a rock solid pin, especially with back tension. While a rock solid pin is great, you still have to execute a release, but it does give you better confidence to execute the shot. 2. 7" brace "may" hide some flaws, but if you are executing the shot and follow-thru.....6 or 7 won't make any difference.
3. Keep using a BT release. You can try blind bale shooting, but it really comes down to not worrying where the arrow hits. Trying harder to be perfect only makes things worse. lol

best thing I have seen is to get close, under 5 yards, to target and shoot without using sights. Just et the pin somewhere on the target and concentrate on form,
Trying too hard to keep the pin on the bull will only make target panic worse. form form form is the answer
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Get the bow adjusted to your draw length, keep using the back tension release and blind baling have all been mentioned. Something else to try are some drills where you draw, aim and let down. There isn’t a magic cure for target panic. You only learn to control it. What works for someone else may not necessarily work for you. Don’t give up. A good buddy of mine had it bad. He learned to control it and went on to win the Buckmasters Top Bow World Championship twice. You have to learn not to put so much pressure on yourself. People with OCD tendencies are normally the ones that develop target panic.

Target panic is all mental. Just stop thinking about it.

Not sure if this will help - but I will tell u what helped me - mine was with a rifle - we both talking about a trigger
For 15-20 years after I got my rifle - I never missed nothing - several running shots - what ever - one and done
One day in my 30s I missed - then I missed again and again and ......
Took me a while to figure what heck was going on - I was absolutely jerking the heck out of the trigger and I did not know it - I missed a buck at 15 yards - it got mental. I remember one opening weekend - 5 racks jumped out in field - I missed and 8 2 straight - he ran into tree line and gav me broad side - I told myself - relax stupid and squeeze slow - I put deer down on 3rd shot - only shot I did not jerk. I started studying it more - I missed a good 10 and i was coming up several times while pulling to catch my breath - I thought dang - I am pulling this trigger a mile. I realized I had crappie trigger so I got it checked out. Took 8 pounds to pull - should be closer to 3. I Think what happened - I lost some of my nerve as I got older and the bad trigger exposed that I got my trigger set to 2 1/2 r so. Now my trigger is so quick - it’s hard to jerk and like others said - I practice and practice - my jerk went away but for me a much lighter trigger helped. If u can get a quick release or one with quick trigger - maybe that help - and breath - try to be calm and practice
Fred probably spot on as the others - good luck - lot of mine was mental - i practice still in summers

The main thing that has helped me is realizing you can’t hold the pin steady on the dot. It’s going to float around. You need to blur the pin in your sight picture and focus on the target where you want the arrow to hit. Bingo. Aiming a bow is not like aiming a gun. You’re not going to hold your pin perfectly still on the spot you’re aiming at. Your pin is going to float. Seems like a lot of people don’t understand this. A lot of things factor in to how much it floats such as bow fit, bow balance, draw weight and your mental state. As stated above, when the bow fires you should be focused on the spot you want to hit and not the pin.

I didn't see it mentioned but I may have missed it but do you shoot with both eyes open? I shoot with one eye closed.

Good luck specialK - hope u stick w it! I battled it a while - think mine was both mental and a bad trigger
I just got back from range- shot twice - put both in the black at 90 yards which was about the size of 50 cent peace. My trigger so lite - I don’t hav time for any target panick - when I aim and put any pressure on that trigger - it goes off - use to hav to pull it a mile. I am guessing it 2 to 2 1/2#
We may hav 2 totally different problems but the lite trigger has helped me tremendously

I didn't see it mentioned but I may have missed it but do you shoot with both eyes open? Both eyes open unless there are eye dominance issues…. When I hit 40 a couple years back, I had to go up a size on my peep from 3/16 to 1/4 and I also switched from a meta-peep to a R.A.D. Super Deuce 38 peep. I’ll never have another Meta-peep on any bowstring of mine. You wouldn’t think something so simple would make such a huge difference but it does.
