The experience
Top tips for sim shooting
Squeeze more enjoyment (and birds) out of your day.
- Pace yourself. Cartridges add up. A 200-bird drive feels relentless if you're tired.
- Watch your line. Sim drives often have crossing birds — pick a bird at a comfortable angle and follow it through.
- Reset between drives. A short walk and a few sips of water reset your eye more than another coffee.
- Talk to the host. Ask about the next drive's patterns before it starts. Knowing what's coming makes a real difference.
