How Often Do You Practice Geared Up?
Tonight I shot geared the wayI will be hunting. I had on my fanny pack, binos, bugle, face mask, fleece jacket and gloves. Although my anchor felt different, (due to the face mask)I shot the same. I'm gonna shoot another 18 arrows geared up again in a few minutes. How often do you guys practice with all of your gear on?

Honestly....not very often. Warm weather hunting here.....I wear about the same as a 3D round. When it gets colder....I try to loose a few with the full garb on.....but I've never noticed a discernable difference. Last buck I shot last year....it was 14 degrees out....and I was dressed like the Michelin man.
No problems.
Good idea to do it SOME, anyways......

I practice all geared up the week before the season starts. As the season progresses and starts to get cold. I shoot a couple dozen arrows with my cold gear on. As long as im shooting fine i dont worry about it.

I will start going full gear about 2 weeks before season starts. I always hunt with a hat on though, so I am always shooting with the hat on, and generally have the rangefinder around my neck.

Not enough.....I use facemasks and it takes me a while to get used to shooting with them on, specially the fleece one. I think its more mental then anything. Same thing with gloves for me, not having the same feel on the trigger. I'll start practicing with the facemask and gloves on about a month prior.
