I was afflicted with target panic bad. Mine started at a big 3d shoot i attended. never a problem until got up to the line at that particular shoot and just fell apart. Missed targets at 30yds, shook like a leaf. Only thing about mine was that I suffered on the 3d course but when hunting I had no problem. I guess I didn;t have time to get into my head.
Now, buck fever was another thing. I had a 7x7 bull Elk at 45 yards broadside and couldn't even think about drawing my bow. At the time I could hit a loonie sized target at 45yds. Watched it walk away.
Target panic is a bitch that I couldn't overcome. I tried all sorts of advise but nothing ever worked. In the end my shoulder gave out and I couldn't hold the bow any longer. Thought about a crossbow but just couldn't get into it.
Good luck in your quest.
