The term "Stump Shooting" is a little misleading, DON'T SHOOT STUMPS you will destroy your arrows. The first time I went stump shooting I quickly learned that you really needed to pick your targets carefully. I went thru 4 arrows in about 30 minutes, it wasn't pretty.

Before you go out and start shooting things, you need to replace your fields points with something like the G5 S.G.H, a rubber blunt or add a adder point behind your field tip. You basically need something that will not penetrate too deeply into your target and that will
“kick-up” and not dig into the dirt.

The video below is an addendum to my last post.  I described in text some of the dynamic movements for warm-up.  On the video below, you can view what these dynamic movements actually look like when being performed.

One of the most abused or overlooked components of working out is taking the time to incorporate a proper warm-up.  Instead of jumping right into a gut busting workout or half heartedly performing a few static stretches, try integrating a proper dynamic warm-up.  This is the only way to prepare your body for the demands that a workout may have on you and decrease your chance of injury.  The first part of a warm-up is heating your body which simultaneously increases your respiratory rate, blood flow, oxygen, which will enhance delivery of nutrients to your body's cells.  This ultimately notifies your body's systems that some demanding work is approaching.
