I had spinal surgery (ACDF with a fuse of C6 and C7) on 5/18. The doctor has told me to expect to refrain from shooting my bow for 3 months, subject to how things progress. I read an article today in the June issue of Petersen's Bowhunting on how to rebuild one's shot process to cure target panic (summarized below) and wondered if those steps would serve as a good set of guidelines for rehabbing by rebuilding my process from the ground up (especially since I've had my bouts with target panic).
- use a practice string/bow - I've got one
- reduce draw weight (my two bows are currently set at a bit over 70#)
- do "blank bale" shooting at close range (5 yards)
- float pin (don't shoot) at close range
- shoot target at close range
- increase draw weight and distance
