Who shoots what??
I shoot dots and the deer side of the block all spring and summer, but now since it's Aug, I pretty much shoot a 3D deer target exclusively. I do it both from tree stand and ground... I rarely shoot at dots and circles from here through the season. what about you?

You can very well practice killing a 3D target but I never stop shooting specific marks (dots).

Why would you stop shooting at dots? Dots are what makes a shooter, not shooting at an area on a 3D target.

What you're shooting at is just part of the battle. My practice sessions now are also about consistant form, anchor, and shot routine. I think all of these help get you ready for the moment of truth than just switching to a target the resembles your game. Just my opinion of course.

Well I understand what you are saying Rob and occasionally I'll shoot some dots, but I shoot the deer target more to get used to the shape and size of the deer.
