I think 3-D shoots are great practice for hunting.   If you just want to work on your form the best shooting I found for that is shooting spots inside like blue face.

I attribute the practice on 3D targets for my first harvest.  After shooting at deer targets all summer long, when the real Mcoy showed up it was no big thing. :IBCOOL: Perfect double lunger.  That was over 20 years ago, and IMHO nothing has changed :chuckle: 
Hunt hard and shoot straight!

used to due to virtual shoot with my dad when I wa like 14-15 and it was great, after shot it would pause show you where you hit on the deer if you hit any vitals, and the best part it was like a real hunting for most of it you were standing on a tree stand(only a foot of the ground) but made for really good training.
