I don't shoot archery, but I used to shoot competative indoor positon rifle. Target Panic happens there too. What I would do was to lower the rifle, open the bolt, remove the round, get completely out of the position I was in, then start the whole routine of getting back into position, start the breathing exercises, reload, lock, and try the shot again. Fundamentally it was like a mental reboot. The activity took my mind off the panic and going through the reset ritual put me into the frame of mind that I had started over and usually the panic was gone.

Everything I say can be fully substantiated by my own opinion.
