Concur, target panic. I went through it big time for a season or so when I was shooting 3D competitively. It started when I shot a really good first round (dropped 4 points), then my first and only perfect (second) round .....I was top of the score sheet going into the last round and started feeling the pressure, fell apart.

I went from enjoying the sport, to expecting perfection, and stopped loving it. Took me a good while to back away and stop yanking the release.

Your draw weight may or may not be an issue, but backing off a bit and getting back to fundamentals is the key....and remember that you enjoy shooting. Target Panic is real, and will mess you up.
