I guess you could just have the yips. But the yawning gap in pressure to perform between you shooting in back yard and most professional performers and athletes who gets them makes me doubt it.
I gonna posit a guess you’re just unfocused and have gotten loose with archery as a whole. Buying building tuning equipment and practicing with it, and then actually “shooting” are all part of the game. Lose 10% of confidence in each little step because you’re distracted with kids and work and wife= crap performance.
I’ve experienced a similar lull where I lost and busted a dozen arrows. But it was during the tuning and building process when I didn’t have a lot of confidence in the finished product. I got in my head and ahead of myself. Once I dedicated the focus, and got process back to perfect, all is fine.
If you’ve shot 10k shots through a compound bow, and can’t pick one up cold after days or months and keep an archers minute of angle(2”@20, 3”@30,etc) after 10 shots or so, you’ve got problems with your equipment or your focus.
Or it’s the yips. I think they make gurus for that…
