Punching the release

[Kain]

Any magic pills to cure this?    OK how about just some advice.

I had to spend significant time working just my trigger finger.  While I had down time at work, while watching tv, etc.  Holding my hand in the same postion it would be if it was in the release and just moving my finger.  Seemed to help me a bit.

Get up close to a target like 3 yards, draw, close your eyes, put your finger on the trigger, slowly add pressure to the trigger(with a mix of back tension if you like) until it breaks. Do it about a million times. It WILL make you a better shooter.

I just concentrate on the smooth pull. Just like when Im shooting one of my guns. Smooth, even pressure. I just time that pressure when things are coming aligned.

It could be your release too. Not you. My old crappy Stinger was getting that way. Just got the Spotthog Wiseguy and wow is it smooth and light triggered. Like butter!

no majic trick, just good fundementals. Practice is all I can pass on to you.

Ill give that a shot.  Im sure its me.  Its just one of the bad habits I am fighting with.

You may also need to adjust the tension up or down. Dana at archery world is an excellent coach. You might go talk to him. He gives all kinds of free advice and is a helluva shooter.

One thing I do quite a bit if I get punchy is draw back and aim and set my finger to shoot and aim for 20-30 seconds and then let down. More of an aiming drill. But punching is a form of and will lead to target panic. Aiming ans smooth pull through the trigger is key... also don't use the very tip of your finger. I shortened my release so that the trigger is inside the second bend from the tip... much less sensitive than the finger tip.

Aiming practice is good..
blind shooting (as mention before) is also good.
then when you put the two together you hope its still good..
Find someone who KNOWS what they are doing that is willing to help you.. thats always the best advice for shooting form issues

Blind shooting helps a lot of people with that. Get use to just feeling the release and your squeeze

Thanks guys.

set your finger and pull through it till it flys

set your finger and pull through it till it flys

I think I know what you mean by this.  Just to see if I understand this is where you touch your finger to the trigger and instead of moving your finger you pull with your arm?

pull wth your back.like you are standing back to a wall with your arms straight out sideways and pushing away from the wall with your hands... if that makes sense..

Or pinching something between your shoulder blades..
