Went out a done some stump shooting behind the house this morning and had a great time, but more importantly it got me away from the comfortable surroundings of my yard range. 30 degrees and snowing meant heavy clothes, as if hunting and the variety of shots, up, down, long , close, from different positions is as good as it gets for practice.
Breaking away from your comfort zone in your yard every now and then can sure make a difference.

Couldn't agree more. Except I need to get some 175 gr stump points. My homemade stumping points are great on the wallet initially but I have found I tend to damage more arrows with them

Another stumping fan here. Hoping the sun and warmer weather this week will get rid of enough snow to do some next weekend.

I agree though for me it is tough to do now. I live in a area of Ca where I have to drive to do any stump shooting if I can even do so then. Not sure about going into the woods with a bow around here without some kind of penalty/law being broken. I used to do this all the time in S.C. when I could walk out the door and have a few hundred acres available. Most places around here are indoor or members only outdoor ranges. We have a range in a city park but very limited on where and how you shoot. One of the outdoor member ranges allows use of their range for a fee on Sunday mornings but limited to the range only so no stumping or using the 3D courses.
Beautiful state but with little freedoms to do things as simple as stump shooting if you don't live in a rural area.

Can't agree more. And if you are stumping with friends, then there's nothing better!

Agreed, agreed. Went out for two hrs with a friend yesterday, rambling in the snow and shooting at all sorts of distances (a couple, rather crazy). Few losses, great fun.

Yes I am with you guys on stumping. I do like 3D, but I love stumping hands down.. I was out a couple of days ago traisping through the woods scouting, hunting for shed antlers and stumping with my bow. Not only do stumping help with the diverse shooting distance and terrain, it is also good walking exercise while doing something I just love to do.

You got that right, Tony. I love stumping but stumping with a friend or two is just a barrel of fun.

Stump shoot'n is the best especially with friends. You let them shoot first so you have something more to shoot at..

I have never went stumping. What heads to you use to help prevent damage to your arrows. Where can you find 175 or 200 grain points to use.

Reddogge and Ed Frye, you are certainly right when you can stump with a fried/friends and have some good natured competition in the woods. My Son and I have spent hours in the woods shooting against each other and having a grand ole time. Sometimes we would shoot right up til dark where we just had to quit because we could not see as good. We would leave the woods feeling real good for the time well spent.

Stumping is excellent, real-world practice. Can't wait to get back at it.

I wouldnt say stumping is bad, but for me the best practice is 3d targets setup in the woods. Real life setups with life size targets.

Realy do not go stump shooting .But I chase ground squirrels all spring and summer. Hit more dirt and weeds than squirrels . Still great practice. not a lot of stumps where I play.

I started incorporating my stumping with walking my dogs. They get longer walks now cause there is always one more chunk of dirt or clover flower that needs to get an arrow thrown at it. Best practice around.

I love it too, make the shots as hard or easy as you or partner want them to be.Really learn a lot about different shaft and head types as far as durability also. Pull a judo glued on a wood shaft out of a few stumps and if adhesive shaft or head preparation is lacking it will surely show!! But the real kicker is the up hill down hill between the trunks, under the limbs practice. For me nothing shows me the flight of the arrow and what I can get away with like stumping!!!
