Making your practice hard
«

I get bored just shooting at the bag target in the back yard, so sometimes I like to try to make things difficult.
I'm a treestand hunter so i like to practice off of my deck, today, I tried to make it like the real thing.
The very first shot!
How do you guys make your practice hard or more realistic?

I set up a tree stand in my yard (yes, I'm a redneck) before the season, but for the best practice, you need to get out in the woods (or equivalent) and STUMP.
BTW - when did they start making a traditional range finder?

I put my target on a wheeled frame. My son pulls it (with a very long rope) and when I "bah" he stops it and I have to shoot it before he starts it again.

Practicing at a variety of shooting positions is a great way to hone your shooting skills.

bbassi:Are you a redneck if you practice elevated shooting from your 2nd floor bedroom window?(opened of course).

"The very first shot". Thats the important one.
Being able to pick up the bow, and put it where you want on the FIRST shot is where its at.

I always practice at longer distances than I would ever shoot while hunting. My groups are usually larger but when I get closer & shoot at what I consider my comfortable max hunting distance, they're usually where I want them to be.
