My wife's coach recommends always coming down on the first arrow of a shoot. Part of the mental preparation. It sets in your mind that it is OK to come down if you are not happy with the shot.
Me, I'd just make the shot, flinch as I loose then after the relief of not hitting my arm I'd start bitching about the 5 that now meant I had no chance of improving my PB this time. Again. And then prove it by ending up about 4 behind my PB.
Mental game this archery...
