When you've done your blank bale and all that stuff... When you shoot at 40 yards, start using a bigger spot. I'd say 1" of target diameter per 10 yards of distance and adding a couple inches more wouldn't hurt. You want it big enough that your float is inside the spot. You do not want to be in the situation where you are floating all around a small spot because then you're going to try and start punching the release when you pass through the spot. No 'drive by' shooting allowed!
