Bob .......I don't know you ........haven't shot with you......can't make a judgement on how prepared you will be when a shot comes !

I can only go off of what I have seen with my friend's and it is disheartening sometimes........but what can you do ?

I practice all year and typically make good shots ! My friend's used to be glad to hit a paper plate at 20 yrds .......now , like ya'll say with bow advancements and accesories........and tips from guys like me ........they are shooting much better with less practice ! Can they hit a deer target in the vitals everytime @ 20......yes.......in perfect "backyard" conditions !!

The real difference lies in our kill records the last several years........they are wounding and making poor shots on a lot of animals ! There have been numerous liver hits , several gut shots, several shoulder hits, one lung , and one leg/brisket hit ........from the guys practicing right at season ! I guess what bothers me most........is where they used to miss.........now they hit (almost everytime.. but randomly) ! All of them are aiming for a double lung ........but a paunch hits/or shoulder hits keep happening to them anyway !

Maybe you and some others can do it Bob.......I really don't doubt it......but I don't think generally that bowhunters should practice so infrequently ! A profiecency test sounds good to me !!
