Smossy its not a 3d shoot.  Its the regular target butts with aiming dots.  Marked yardage too.  You seriously need to shoot 3ds best hunting practice hands down.

If you'd shoot a few 3-D's you'd start to shoot better and it wouldn't be an issue.

Smossy....losing one or two is good for experience...it will make your better. Granted...I've lost more than one or two and am getting better, just very slowly.

Lol At my girls I lose at-least ONE every-time I shoot, I always manage to over-exhaust myself and shoot tired. 50-60 shots later. I miss the target entirely and sacrifice one to the grass gods across the street.

Dunno maybe, Straight fletch better for 3-d shoots or what? Ive heard people choose speed over accuracy to compensate for error in range estimation. I like my helicals.

Where do you buy gold tips for $90 bucks.  You can get them much cheaper.
