heretic and I should be rolled in Fletch-Tite & feather scraps but I done did it.

I put a single-pin sight on my bow AND a clicker and my target panic is gone. I come to full draw and use back-tension to fire the clicker and now I can HOLD the pin on target and actually hit where I'm aiming.

It's brought some joy back into this game & maybe in time I can revert to my old instinctive style of shooting but for now, I'll use this to reprogram the widget-factory.

I'd recommend these tools to help yourself out of TP-Land, worth a try anyways  

Go 4 it! I definitely wouldn't tar and feather ya     Do whatever it takes so you can enjoy archery again.

I happy for ya.

When you feel ready to take the sight off...you might wanna try putting a mark on your sight window...instead of going completely cold turkey     Either way...you'll know when the time is right or you just may be content leaving things the way they are now.

Ah now there's a clever lad, good idea Ray.

Come to think of it, didn't some of those  [Fred Bear (?)] strike plates have horizontal lines embossed into the leather?

I judge not, least I be judged. Welcome back to the land of the living.  When I started shooting in the 60's there were a lot of stickbows that had single pins on them.  You are still "Kool" with me!  Enjoy, and lay them low.
