Default RE: Do you take a practice Shot in the stand?

ORIGINAL: hoyt3

only if something is amiss, or I am about ready to get down, squirrel is in season and one has been bugging me. I should've done a practice shot after my bow came off the pull rope this past season. about five mins left in the day and a good size doe is coming my way, of course she is taking her sweet time. finally she gives me a beautiful broadside shot at like ten yards. she mule kicks and disappears at the shot. the arrow STINKS. later I found out that the fall knocked the sights way left, causing me to shoot way left. I got lucky and she didn't go far suffering a mortal liver and one lung hit.
I've got to admit, I've had squirrels moving all around me before and have drawn on them, but restrained myself before I released.
