What Chad said,dido. I practice standing, kneeling, sitting, leaning around a tree and from a ladder stand in my backyard. Going to 3-D shoots is fun and can be great practice shooting at unknown distances, up hill, downhill, quartering shots and so on. Shooting any trad bow takes dedication and lots and lots of practice to learn your own limitations especially if your going to be hunting. But for me hunting with my longbow gives me a great deal of satisfaction because I have invested alot of time and effort.

Good luck, it's alot of fun
