I agree. I work at a place with a warehouse stairway with a platform 20 ft off the floor. Great for practicing elevated shots. Just remember to bend at the waist, thats the biggest lesson I learned from practicing.

You'll get'm next time.

That's why you bend at the waist when shooting off of a stand.

As a professional "misser", I do my worst when I feel the need to rush my shots. The best advise I got this year, was to find your spot and count to 3. I didn't have another chance with a shot but this is something I am going to try.. The idea is I guess to force you to take your time and hold on the spot you are aiming for.
