I think you need a combination. Cross training, if you will. Shoot dots to hone your shooting form. Shoot 3D's to enhance your yardage estimation and how to adapt your shooting form to oddball shooting stances and situations.

I'm talking REAL 3D shooting. What IBO and ASA hasevolved is NOT real 3D shooting. Shooting down aperfectly manicuredtargetlane while standing at a stake with your very best target shooting form? Yuck! Might as wellstick withshooting paper dots for all the good that does you.

REAL 3D is having to learn to adapt your shooting form to oddball stances and situations like someone could possibly encounter in the woods. Lean out to shoot around a tree. Crouch or kneel to shoot under a limb.Shoot up or down steep inclines. Shooting laterally across steep inclines. Get on the target and get off a quick, accurate shot. None of that baloney of standing on the stake fortwo minutes, drawing and letting down before finally squeezing off an arrow into the 8 ring. Stuff like that.

Sounds likeYOU know what I'm talking about when you say 'life like practice.' I'm just letting the others in on the secret.
