Summary

There are three kinds of archers and bowhunters — those that have experienced target panic, those that will experience target panic, and liars. Mark and Steve have each battled target panic and have had varying levels of success overcoming it. In this episode, Mark and Steve discuss the topic of target panic with Joel Tuner of Iron Mind Hunting. As a SWAT sniper, successful competitive archer and dedicated bowhunter, Joel has broken down the shooting process to its fundamental components and has dedicated himself to understanding why we ALL struggle with target panic. Joel can do more than just help us understand and identify the problems in our shooting — he goes the next step in helping us overcome those problems. We are glad to have Joel on this episode to help us all learn to move beyond target panic and shoot with control. Learn more at http://ExoMountainGear.com/podcast
