I know the feeling! I went out to shoot at my local range about 3 weeks ago and couldn't put a group together to save my life. A little discouraged, I decided to walk the 3d range anyways and shot great. It was amazing how much better I did when shooting at lifelike targets in a more natural environment. I'm staying away from the paper targets and concentrating on the 3d. just my 2 cents. good luck!
