great at the big stuff with a smoke pole or bow but the small stuff gives me a hard time.

When I started stump shooting is when I really found out how bad I was. Standing shotting across the lawn I sould hammer 2 ich groups a 25. You teaching yourself (hand -eye) that know distance. Start stumping (the only way I practice for years and years) you'll soon find out how bad you really are. STUMPING I SHOOT ONE ARROW THEN MOVE ON. YOU NEVER SHOOT THE SAME SHOT TWICE. I shot from different angles in stead of that prefect stand up fourm your shooting across the lawn.
Shoot across the lawn to get your bacic form then go and shoot the ways that come natural to you. Stump shooting will teach you that. I love to shoot but suck as far as hitting the ten ring. But stick and kill gobblers and bucks every year.
I contrube this to learning to shoot my natural way.

I love the flinchrock style smokepoles bestest. I missed four fat doe mulies in a row one year muzzleloading. And because I didn't draw a hair or blood on any of 'em I was called Mr Clean. (as in, "Didja hit her? Nope, missed 'er clean!)

I don't really stump shoot, but I do something similar. I fill a plastic bottle with damp sawdust to give it some weight, then I'll toss it out a ways and take a shot at it. Then I move to a different spot and take another shot. I'll do this several times, then toss the bottle somewhere else and repeat. My accuracy has improved greatly. I just grazed a rabbit the other day. The broadhead went right below his belly, and the shaft actually smacked him. He took off into the woods , and I never found him. Probably just knocked the wind out of him.
JW_Halverson:
Another trick to add to your bag...shoot with a good natured buddy! Play a game of H.O.R.S.E. with your shots. The competition and the tendency to try setting up tougher and tougher shots will draw out your best efforts. Not to mention after a while it starts to mimic natural hunting conditions when the deer will only allow you challenging shots!
