No substitue for swinging shots on game, though. Last weekend, I took a sorry 4 point cull buck; placed the shot just behind the left shoulder with him quartering away. The shot exited the right shoulder, taking the joint with it & leaving a 5" hole. Nasty. He ran 3 paces, jumped the pen, and tumbled head over heel because the missing shoulder cound not take any weight. That was 165 yds, and I should have waited for a better angle to save that shoulder.
Second shot of the day was a decent 8 point, entered & exited behind both shoulders, all meat intact. 90 yds. Buck tag full. The only really clean shot of the weekend, maybe 90 yards is my new max range.
Next day, I was riding around & had a 140ish lb sow trot the trail in front of the truck, and then hide (in plain sight) in some tall thin grass about 90 yrds away. Not wanting to make unnecessary noise with a shot on opening weekend an hour before the afternoon hunt, I sat & watched her. She just sat there, daring me. I got out with my front seat .30-30 (williams peep on a model 94), and put a shot in the dirt a foot in front of her. Clean miss on sitting game, with no followup possible due to brush & cows.
Sometimes I wonder how much offhand practice is enough.
