| In the "old days" it sounds like you were timid of the click going at the wrong time in your preparation or sequence. I imagine the slight fear was building before the click and then, as it clicked,that fear turned to something worse and you lost control of the rest of the shot.
If that is correct, it would seem that the clicker was controlling you well before full draw, and doing nothing to help after either.
I know that feeling all too well.
To answer your question, it may help to think like this;Imagine you are shooting a well controlled shot. Imagine the shot sequence from the beginning all the way through to the end of the follow through. Imagine it while you are seeing the gold through the sight. In your mind's eye; you are on the gold( with slight wobbles), the string is where you always have it when full draw is near,soon you are into the follow through. Run that "tape" through your mind a few times with a click, and some without. The only difference between the shots is the sound. Then do some for real with and without the clicker. Learn how the shot build up is the same. Let the follow through happen, and slowly they will become very similar too.
If I read your words as you meant them, it sounds like you were going to hold just infront of the clicker and then pull through as a eparate action when you were "ready" to shoot. That usually adds an extra jerk into the draw and can lead to the sight being pulled off the gold.
I hope this helps.
