I practice as often as I can; I posted how I practice for CCW carry in the CCW forum.

For my hunting practice, I like to use life size targets (or close to life size) painted with tempra paints on large sheets of brown paper or cardboard (refridgerator boxes don't stay on the curb long in my neighborhood )

I've never seen a deer with a bullseye on his chest, and I feel that practicing on these types of targets give me a better 'feel' for where I should be aiming on a live animal. I do the same thing with my .22 and small game targets. They can easily be made with the photos from hunting magazines and a copy machine (although I prefer to draw my own!).

I'll take this one step further, even though this isn't a shotgunning forum....I paint some of my clay pigeons flat black or brown....never saw an orange pheasant or duck! Throw those targets low, so they are traveling along the background with trees and such, and you'd be surprised how quickly your eye can loose 'em!
