Absolutely.. which is why I ramp up the amount of stumping I do before the hunting season. Better practice at unknown distances, and more realistic to hunting. Also what Dave said.. practice shooting from different positions – sitting and kneeling as well as standing. I also practice more shooting with broadheads.

One other thing I do.. is switch to my “Go To” hunting bow for the season, about 60 days before the season starts, and I don’t switch to another bow until the seasons end.
