I am a firm believer that the only way to get good at shooting is by shooting lots. Although practicing on a bench can improve your shot immensely, the best way is to practice shooting in different scenarios with all your hunting clothes on.
Shoot off a pack, use your shooting sticks, take a knee; try all the positions you would be in on a hunt. It will improve your confidence and skill level. When my younger sister started turkey hunting my father bought a real decoy, dressed her in all her turkey gear, and let her pound the decoy. She has since killed eight turkeys with eight shots. Bench shooting is very different from field shooting, and this technique is sure to improve your shot for shot guns, rifles and bows. Practise makes perfect!
