I practice at a 3D. I sight in with a small leaf or whatever is lying around the target to aim at. I like practicing at the plain 3D with no dots or anything b/c like it helps me get used to picking out a spot instead of focussing on the obvious dot.

And I never saw a live animal stand still for eternity until you put an arrow into it.

When I was a kid, my dad and I would take old bent arrows and stick them in the ground in front of the target and take turns trying to cut it. If you didn't cut it at the designated mark, it didnt count.

Knew a guy in high school(I knowI know, Inever beleived him either)who swore he could light a strike anywhere match without breaking it. We tried alot, but only succeeded in busting them.

Always wanted to try the bottle opener trick though!

I put quarter size dots on my target . Aiming at small tagets helps to shoot tighter i have found

I had an old 3D McKenzie deer target , I shot it so much in the boiler room thatit has a hole right thru it so I used bottle caps to plug it up and shot at that.
I now have a new Glen Del 3D Buck thanks to my wife, she bought it for me as a brithday present last April.

Obviously, you haven't hunted with Jimmy Houston.... j/k. When my club has walking, feeding and spooky targets, I guess thats when I'll start practicing on those

no dots. I jsut visualize a dot on my target...

about silver dollar size. aim small miss small
