I have done the same thing. I shoot great by myself but I think alot of it is just shooting in front of people. Sometimes I do pretty decent and other times I shoot terrible. I am getting better though. I was having some target panic issues for a while which I think I probly got from getting nervous shooting in front of people.

Are you shooting at 3D targets at home?

No, just a block target

This is how I look at it... you can take it for what it's worth. After you boil down all the form and equipment stuff, it comes to two things that you have to do correctly.

1.) Is to make a clean shot (not make an early release or whatever...)
2.) know the yardage (or at least be close)

If you practice a lot, the clean shot part should come naturally over time. Granted, we all make mistakes at times but if you consistantly make clean shots that takes that portion out of the equation. Then it comes down to estimating your yardage... the only way to get good at that is to do it. Don't shoot from known yardages. Pick a spot as GMMAT has suggested and shoot from it, then use your rangefinder to check the distance.

Here are some of the little things that I do (my brain may have issues, I'm aware of that)...

When I'm at a store or in a parking lot, I'll guess the yardage to something... a curb, a shopping cart, whatever and then pace it off to see how close I am.

Another thing is that I carry my rangefinder with me a lot. I'll pull up to something in my car and guess the yardage to a stop sign or something and then range it (people give you weird looks, but I'm okay with that).

Just something to give thought to anyway...

Join a golf league. Practice teeing off first in front of the whole league. That's the most terrifying experience in the world. If you can hit the first drive down the middle when people are watching and waiting for you to shank it, making good shots on a 3d range will be a piece of cake!
