To me, it' s almost as much fun as hunting and you usually get a heck of a lot more shots. I get to shoot 30 critters every Sunday all year round if I go to 3D shoots. I may only get a few shots on deer the entire season while I' m hunting. But they go hand in hand and one compliments the other, I think. By all means I highly recommend you give it a go. It' s far and away my favorite off-season pastime.
