It could be a mental thing. Ive seen it several times, someone is trying to shoot farther than they ever had and cant group at all. Just remember the basics. Shooting at 40 is no differant than shooting at 20 or 30. You need to make sure your doing everything exactly the same except use your 40 yard pin. It maybe farther than you have ever shot before just keep in mind its only 10 yards. The farther you shoot the more exagerated your flaws in shooting form will be.
very well said thank you. i think that is more of it then i give i think it is. the target looks so much more smaller and i use the motto every time i shot aim small miss small. im probably over thinking it or something like that. thanks for commenting.
Are you shooting at a pie plate?

If so, cut a 2" square out of it and aim at it. You'll still see it, if you can't make it a 3" circle or just big enough to see behind your pin.

It's easier to hit the center of a golf ball than it is the center of the basketball. It goes along with the "aim small, miss small" but if your aiming at a pie plate your not aiming small enough.

Focus on the target, not the pin, the pin should be secondary. As it's been said, trust your float.
No i am shooting at a foam block target. Thanks for your input tho im gunna try the paper plate idea. Im glad i used the analogy of a pie plate now tho.
