practicing moving shots?
was wondering how you take and practice for moving shots? i know that waiting for a standing shot is best but i don't want to let a big droptine just walk by my stand at 20 or even 30yds. i've been watching those caribou hunts and they hardly never hold still long enough for the perfect shot. thanx for the help.

i might sound like im "on my throne" or whatever...but anyone that knows me, knows i aint just sayin this to say it...
drop tine world record smasher or not, why risk it? its only a deer. why put it through unnessesary pain and suffering and potentially never finding it, letting it goto waste...why not try and stop it?? why not let it walk and hope he comes back around later or the next day?? just my opinion...but thats how i personally feel. i rather gamble on him coming back in due time than gamble on making a moving shot....

I almost never try to stop them unless they are really moving along. When you stop them it puts them on full alert, resulting in a shot over their back. I practice a lot and am very confident in my shooting ability. I too use the ball technique. I have a friend roll the ball down or along an incline and shoot the ball. I normally use a junky old basketball, they stop the arrow really well and you can shoot them a lot. You'd be surprised how easy it is to hit it.

I only practice still targets, but I did see a video of an interesting technique. These guys would take an old tire, and tape a balloon into the middle of it. On guy would roll the tire, and another would shoot at the balloon.
