A hunter should practice the way he hunts. Full hunting gear/clothing, treestand shooting if he/she uses one, bending and twisting during the shot, and something I do to add confidence - rapid shooting. Too many stand on level ground two weeks before the season starts, in short sleeve shirts, and shoot at paper.
It boggles my mind that this is not part of every hunter's routine.
IMO this is as important if not more.......then anything else.
Nice to see someone else does the rapid shooting thing too
That is an eye opener for people who have never done it..........again, not really sure why because as we all know deer NEVER surprise you and appear out of nowhere giving you only 2-3 seconds to make and execute about a 10 step process under stressful conditions.
That doesn't happen much............they all come out and stand broadside right at 20 yards just like that Delta Backyard Buck you have at home
