"Just wanted to say thanks again for your awesome videos depicting how to defeat target panic. Early spring through the fall of 2021 I worked hard following your process. I went from not sure if I could put an arrow onto a target to practicing comfortably at 60 yards (what am empowering feeling!). Before that I felt like hanging the bow up for good. November 2021 I arrowed my biggest bow buck at the time, a beautiful 143" Minnesota 10 pt with split brows at 12 yards. It was a close shot, but as you know, with target panic I could have missed easily at that range, likely would have punched before getting the pin on him. I was cool and confident and double lunged him and he went maybe 60 yards. What a feeling of redemption.
This summer I didn't have time to work on it as much as I was back in the office, but I was ramping up my shooting when I opted to do an early sit (something I haven't done in years), had a plan to put a move on my target buck, hung a new set and shot him 2 hours into my first sit. 20 yards double lung again with full confidence. Anyway, I don't know how to thank you other than to share my success with you. I still have those moments where I can feel the anxiety while shooting, but thanks to you I know what to do to keep it at bay.
P.S. one of my good friends came up to me this summer and knew I battled and beat TP, he was having really bad issues himself and remembered me singing praise for your videos. He took it seriously, followed your steps and his comments echo mine, he feels like a new hunter, its fun again and he can't stop thanking me. You're the man, keep grinding on the content, people are watching and learning."

Josh Pflasterer - Founder of Bow Only Outdoors
Josh grew up in Eastern Nebraska near the wildlife abundant Platte River. Archery and bowhunting has been a way of life for Josh ever since he was 6 years old. Growing up on a farm, his first bow was a piece of PVC pipe bent over with bailing twine to act as a string. The same year, he took one of his dad's old Easton 2315 aluminum camo shafts and arrowed a rabbit with the homemade bow that helped spark his passion for archery and bowhunting.
From that point on, Josh upgraded bows and began to compete in local, state and eventually national level archery tournaments with the only purpose to improve himself as a bowhunter. This transpired into Josh learning hands on every tuning and set up method out there as he even worked in an archery shop as a professional bow technician.
Although the improvement never ends, Josh is always looking for ways to shorten the learning curve to help others achieve more with archery and bowhunting. The sport has taken Josh places and given him experiences that he had never even imagined as a kid. As a passion that has largely been Josh's life, he wants nothing more than to give back to others to help them achieve some of the same life changing experiences that bowhunting has brought him.
