In this episode, Ryan discusses what target panic and a flinch are, what the difference between the two is, and some methods to overcome them. Most of us have (or will) experienced a flinch or target panic at some point. The more we discuss it, the more we can help each other out. We hope this episode can help anyone struggling with these issues. (Oh, and yes, we know Ryan calls his Redhawk a Blackhawk. He is colorblind...)
