i will second Dr Andy...get up in the stand with a target over the off season and set out your target and let some arrows loose...i do it every year...i take my stand, my hunting arrows and broadheads and broadhead target out to the woods and act like im hunting. i even punish myself and only take 1 arrow up with me. climb up, estimate the range...stand up..draw smooth and quietly like its a pope and young buck standing there...anchor, bend at the waist, float the pin and release...lower my bow, climb down, get the arrow, move the target and do it all again...its punishment in 90 degree weather over the summer! teaches me to make that 1 shot count...and teaches me to shoot from my stand as if i were hunting. no substitute for real practice IMO.
