Being a great shooter on the 3-d coarse don't mean squat to me. Back when I use to shoot in a archery league one of the guys who shot there too was a National champion in one of the classes (can't recall which one) and he looked at me and said (honestly Steve I would rather have your talent on being able to shoot and get animals then be a National champ in targets). This guy couldn't stick a deer 10 yards away. He got so worked up when a deer would be in front of him that he would loose it. I thought it was pretty neat hearing that from a national champ, I was only 16 years old at the time so my head got good and swelled up from that!

Shooting targets and shooting animals are 2 completely different things. One is a shooting sport and the other is hunting.

I do ok at both but I believe I'm a better hunter then a shooter at a 3-d coarse.
