Default RE: why we miss deer

I have to admit. I do a considerable amount of off hand shooting and still find it still a hard thing to do. For those of you that think they can shoot off hand, take a 3x5 inch index card, tape that to a box, draw an X from corner to corner. Then try hitting the center of that card at different distances. Shoot at least three times. On a different forum they suggested people try this and needless to say, I was shocked the first time I gave it a go. I always thought I was a pretty good free hand shot.

It is a good way to practice especially if you can set the box up at different distances and angles. After you shoot free hand a while, then go to some shooting sticks and you will not believe how accurate you can shoot with shooting sticks.
