I've been to many music concerts, watched many videos on VH-1 and MTV. I've read about singing and music. I know a number of musicians including professionals. I've held a few musical instruments in my day. I have yet to be able to play an instrument and sing a song, let alone give a concert.
You need to get out and recreate different shooting scenarios. A one gallon milk jug is about 6"x8". That is a good representitive size of a deer's vital zone. Place these at different ranges around and under your stand. Shoot at angles and ranges that you'll encounter while hunting. This will show exactly what you and your gun or bow can do. There is no substitute for getting out there and shooting. If you want to make it even more fun, fill the jugs with colored water.
KA-SPLOOSH!
