SABA Practical shooting In order to assess the proficiency of a bow hunters shooting ability, we use a special format of 3D shooting. This is done during a normal 3D competition. In principle the hunter may shoot at the target at any distance they feel comfortable at. The hunter uses a special score card, and records the distance the shot was taken at. The effective hunting distance of the hunter is then calculated as the average of all the distances, where if the hunter wounded the animal, the negative of the distance is used.
