You are going to think I am picking on you and I am NOT..

But I moved to Montana from N Dakota 20 plus years ago--prior to moving to Montana, in the first 30 years of my life on this planet, I had never shot a deer standing still..ever...in the midwest, a very common hunting practice, in fact it is probably used 90% of the time, is having part of the group walk a big tree area, or high grass field with posters startigically placed around the area..when the whitetail get up and start running out..typically the guys walking will hammer them or if they are missed, the posters get a whack at them on the way by...so that misconception by Europeans is considerably off target..pun intended..

As to practice--agree it is needed and should be done..that is where we would walk fields and shoot running rabbits with out .22 rimfires as kids...then as we got older and I got my first highpower..(.303 British)...we would put cardboard inside the tire and take turns rolling them off the hills with the shooter a 100 yards or more away and would shoot are the moving tire..this really seemed to work for us..IMHO..

I realize individuals in Texas typically don't do this..but that is/can be a product of the terrain..in the areas I have been, setting up posters would not have worked nearly as well as where I can from..plus Texans are typically lazy and just don't want to walk..KIDDING..its a joke..but couldn't resist..

To sum it up, no one will convince me that spray is the way too go..unless that person doesn't own a gun, I am not buying the spray idea..but, each to their own..if someone wants to use it my hat is off to them..plus, the way I see it, it will eventually lead to less competition in the field..
