Default Real Practice

I noticed alot of people asking about practicing from a stand but i see very few people saying anything about practicig with their camo on. i always do this as it changes alot of stuff. say a mask getting in the way or a baggy sleeve you didn't know about.
i also practice odd shots. not every deer is gonna come in at 20 yards and stand broadside right in front of my stand. i practice twisting my body slightly and other angles.
I alsow ill place two plastic barrel on each side of my target to narrow my "shooting lane" to simulate having to shoot smaller gaps between trees.


does anyon else do stuff like this........
Or am I just to anal about things?

I do both of these, but instead of using plastic barrels, I line up to where a tree is in my way and practice shooting through the actual tree.

I am having a cook out today with some buddies. After we eat it's going to be some realistic bow practice. I have a ladder stand setup in the yard, 3D targets as well as others and there is going to be some very real situations. Those that have lazer range finders can use them, those that don't are on there own. These things are a lot of fun and really help people get ready for season. as it gets cooler I will start to practice more and more with my camo on as well.

Well I have been involved in some games of BUCK that handles the odd shot part of this...as far as the clothing goes...the only time that I have really shot with my hunting gear on is for second season and I have a lot more layers on. I should prob freak the neighbors out one of these days and get all gussied up and shoot a bit just to be sure.
