Commanding the trigger. I have never shot anything but a caliper.

Don't stop blank baleing because it has been so many weeks. Stop when you don't have to think about it anymore.

Well do both! You can start shooting at a target but make sure that you don't fall back into target panic and if you do go back to the bale, And also shoot a few rounds blind bale then go to the target so you still know how you were executing the shot with your eyes closed.

If you are having issues with target panic you may want to email JKIDD on the tradgang.com forum. He is a sports psycologist and great with target panic. You need shot control when the pin is on the target. Personally I found blank bale shooting a waste of time. Check him out.
