My response has nothing to do with Back Tension . . . I tried it a couple years ago and did not do too well with it. Rather, my comment relates to 3-D shooting . . .not NFAA sanctionedshoots . . . but meat on the table shoots.

My partners and I do 3-D's regularly in the few months before hunting season. We take turns determining where to shoot from but never use or pay attention to any of the stakes or distances provided.

We each use our own experience to judge the distance then each of us takes one shot and one shot only. (on occasion something will go wrong with a shot and we are permitted to take a second but not counting shot). We score a 10 for a kill zone hit, 1 for a hit anywhere on the body. Obviously legs and misses score zero.

Once everyone has made his shot one of us will range the distance and occasionallywe will enter our distance estimate next to our score and the ranged distance.

We don't get high scores but it forces us to accepr the hunting field reality that usually all we get is one shot . . . so make it count.
