Default RE: 20 yard mental barrier

I discussed this with Matt/PA a few days ago, and I'm running into this full force. Where the heck does that block come from? I can put an arrow into the kill zone of my 3D deer target ALMOST every time at 10-15 yards. ALMOST 'cause I'm still learning. At 20 yards, it all changes, and I miss the entire stupid deer or get a nasty gut shot or neck shot as often as I hit the kill zone. What causes the mental block? Any ideas?
You say you're still learning. How long have you been shootingtraditional equipment? It could be you're trying to move along too fast. It takes time to develope into a good shooter and if you're shooting instinctive, it takes even longer. Work on developing the basics (focus, form, release and follow through). Once those become fairly solid and consistant, start slowly pushing your shooting range out further.
