May consider developing different challenging shot scenarios until you reach 20. Start with the inital ones and draw the scenario from a hat. Keep developing and adding challenging yet different scenarios.

Example: Run thru ten random scenarios in one pratices session. 1st drawn scenario - Walk quickly but quietly in lowered position up hill for 200 yards, belly crawl for w/bow for ~50 yards, duck walk quitely for 35 yards. Set back against tree w/ anticipated shot ~15 yards virtually directly behind you. Remain stationary for ~10 seconds. Draw to full anchor and hold near target for ~ 7 seconds then move on target and hold for three, then release. Target to be a blank paper plate with 2nd plate underneath with an 'X'.

Just a thought. May be fun - May be hell.

My toughest was woodland caribou on open tundra. Shooting from knees, trying to stay as flat to the scrub as possible, shooting almost horizontal.

All of the practice in the world won't put meat in the freezer. Do some stump shooting in the woods when you are hunting, and be creative. You are in Georgia now. Go kill a pig.

Shooting at somthing bigger than a rabbit. When it comes to deer and stuff I lose it .
You can hop but you can't hide.
If it was not for rabbits I would never get a buck.

My worst shooting scenario is when I run out of arrows to shoot..     :bigsmyl:  That being said I think that shooting to my right, I'm right handed.

Realizing that lump you just moved with your foot, while getting in position to draw, was the top of a fire ant bed. Or, not realizing it was a fire ant bed.  :eek:
