Would you suggest I shoot some more 10yd? What if I split it up a bit.....say 20 BB and a 300 Vegas?

Also....do you keep score on all your 10yd games?
How long have you been doing the blank bale? My coach always says that it takes 3 weeks to burn something into muscle memory and that's what the blank bale is for. The 10 yard games are for confidence, and aiming. If you have been at it (BB) long enough to know it's burned in now (you should know this from your golf days) then yes, switching over to the 10 yard games are going to help you make that next step. I'd also be doing 10-15 aiming drills a night. Just start your shot sequence, draw, anchor, settle on the target, and focus on holding and burning a hole through the X. When that window of stability passes (anything after 6 seconds for me) I let down, let the muscles recover, then do it over. Adding 10-15 of these into a routine for you would be a great thing right now. 10-15 blank bale shots, 10-15 aiming drills, 300 vegas game at 10 yards. Do that routine 3-4 times a week with one full 20 yard game mixed in there and thats a fantastic training routine for you right now (assuming the blank bale has burned into muscle memory).
