a lot of people have problems with the difference between shooting on the range and shooting in the field. instead of shooting at regular targets get your self a deer target like the Glendale buck and practice with it. be sure only to shoot broadheads and shoot with your outfit on so you know exactly how things will work when the moment of Truth comes.

Great tip longbeard! Also practice from different positions like sitting, kneeling, uphill and down along with from an elivated platform/treestand you'd be supprised what a differance there is and shooting at a lifelike 3d target helps you learn the arrows flight path meaning entry and exit points! Always think of where you want that arrow to exit!

Great advice guys. Also a big mistake that I believe impacts many Archers accuracy is shooting TO much at a target with a dot on it,...haven't found a Deer yet with an orange or yellow dot on it's side. As you've mentioned a 3D target works great.
Something I like is that unless I'm testing or sighting in a bow where I need a specific aiming point, for all of my "hunting practice" if I'm not shooting at a 3D target I use a plain piece of brown cardboard as a target face and aim for the middle or a specific spot. This forces one's mind, eye's and focus to "pick a spot" and concentrate on that spot rather than the target "showing" you the spot to hit.
