Of the whole sample, 28.4 per cent report both, 11 per cent only the first, 39.4 per cent only choking and 21.2 per cent neither: of the 61 who report target panic or the yips, 44, or 72 per cent, say they have also choked. Put like that it looks like a close link, but in that sample choking is extremely common, two people in three, and among those who do not report target panic the share is 61 out of 94, 65 per cent: the overlap is only slightly higher than you would expect if the two problems travelled independently of each other. The authors themselves read the 11 per cent who had target panic without ever choking as a sign that these are two different things. For the archers alone we know how many report each problem, 43.5 per cent target panic and 75.4 per cent choking, but not how many report both, and each person put a name to their own problem.claim:target-panic-choking-insieme:revision:2026-10-10:2Sat, 10 Oct 2026 08:00:00 GMT https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/mind/target-panic-and-chokingclaim:target-panic-choking-insieme:new_claim:2026-09-16:riportatoWed, 16 Sep 2026 08:00:00 GMT
