I'm another one that loves stumpin'. Matter of fact, I have a hard time hitting a bag target. I stump even in my yard. I get a couple three whiffle golf balls, throw them around to different spots in the yard, and shoot hammer heads.

Stumping for me is by far the best way to obtain and perfect your hunting simulated skills. Shooting at targets some moving (squirrels) and some not. I use wood,aluminum footed arrows ,judo points . Also with a new dog as well , really enjoy the practice and extended walks . Now to find the patients and wait for the snow to melt .

A combo of stumping and 3d for me. There a bit too much snow on the way here to NY for stumping for a while. I tired of having to wait until spring to find my arrows! I also advocate shooting each 3d target from a couple varied distances and angles. Some of my crew insists on emptying their quiver all standing in one spot. I find myself being a culprit sometimes as well. I have 1 3d deer target in my yard but manage to move around the yard in a fan of different angles and distances from 10-30 yards. 6 arrows, 6 different distance and angles. I even set up a couple obstructions. I do a lot of kneeling and sitting shots as well.

I have been shooting for 40 yrs and never did this. When you say stump im assuming you mean rotten stumps correct.

And in the end when i can no longer draw the bow or watch the arrow embark on its flight;when i posses only the spirit of the hunter, i will hunt.... if only in my dreams... because the hunt is born amidst my soul, and i... i am the hunter

Jerseyboy thats correct, I just started past fall stumping myself. Forty acres around house was select cut about 8 years ago, lots of older soft stumps, logs and dead trees make for great targets.

No argument here. They don't call me "Stumpkiller" because I shoot foam.

Jerseyboy, as Darin stated, soft stumps, logs, dead trees , moss clumps , dirt mounds ETC. Anything that wont damage your shaft is fair game. The variety of uphil, downhill and varying yardages will really hone your shooting skills, and youlle have a great time doing it.

Just had a great time with my grandson doing just that then came back to a pond area and shot a huge beaver, perfect shot, then second one in the head.

jerseyboy,
In order to stump shoot in N.J. one must have some kind of hunting license and many times it must be on private property depending on the time of year.

I love to stump & rove, and agree it is a good addition to practice techniques, but only if you are honest with yourself about the shots.
It easy to say - "That would a done it" even if the shot wasn't so good.

Stumping on your hunting grounds is a great way to do some 'off season' scouting for hunting season.You can learn a lot if you pay attention.
