I feel for you bud. I've been left standing at full draw as well, especially early on in my bowhunting. If you don't have a good 3d target to shoot get one. The confidence to aim for the exit and not the entrance has helped me a ton over the years. As others have stated just sending arrows though legal deer will teach you more then you can learn in any class I have ever been to. Understand that not all shots will be perfect (seen a lot of good shooters develop target panic because of this). It is stupid hot outside right now so I have a block set up in my man cave to shoot blind bail and refine the basics before I start shooting in the evenings next month. I release 12 arrows everyday that I possibly can into that block. Aug I start target shooting daily again.
