I understand what you are saying but each person is different. I don't I am right and your wrong just a different way of doing it. When hunting I never reach for my range finder and worry more about the animal and what he is doing. I only take a reading if I am not sure which is less then half the time.
There is a reason some can kill a target but regular miss animals. I do not stress before taking the shot but after I do then my heart rate gets up there. People are different and handle things in many ways. The best way to practice is to find out what works for you gun or bow and practice as much as you can.
@billc, apologies bill. I didn't mean for it to sound critical. Just my way of practicing. I find in most instances I don't have time to range animals while actively hunting. So I try to user the rangefinder only when absolutely necessary. If I were hunting from a blind or tree stand, I'd probably make more use of my rangefinder.
That being said, it is good to know the distance by using the rangefinder initially, but I do believe that practice without it helps when actively hunting.
