Sitter, if you want to test yourself....here's what you do. There is two major factors to shooting competitive 3D and they are being able to hit where you intend to and estimating unknown distances to within a yard, more like half a yard.

Take a target, it doesn't matter what kind as long as it's somewhat portable...it doesn't have to be a 3D animal because it's more important to hit a mark than it is the animal....

Move your target around so you don't know the exact distance and take shots from all angles and at different distances. Remember to move the target so you have no idea what the distance is. Now if your consistantly estimating the distances correctly and you are hitting within inches of your mark, you'll be ready or at least confident enough to visit a few 3D ranges.


Remember, estimate the yardage and hitting your mark...it's that simple <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
