Before I start down this path on my own, going to reach out here and see if such a thing exists. There is the Shoot2Hunt rifle class, that essentially deals with training you for hunting scenarios, and equipment use. There is also a "Rifle Drill" (i'll add to end of this) that has been posted to help you work on practical efficacy for hunting. I am trying to figure out a "repeatable" drill sequence for Archery that would give similar efficacy when in the woods with a bow.
I shoot 3D trounaments, and have a mini range at home, but don't have a defined "drill" process that moves through likely positions and follow up shots. I will make one, if something doesn't already exist. (I am working on my version in this Google Doc for reference. Yes it is VERY much a WIP right now) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qX1_cMYvsQQuMt-jlSt3Q16YjFC4XORCFA8lgs9dhPw
Let me know ...

For those unfamiliar with the rifle drill it is:
Print out one each of these targets and post them up at 100 yards. This works best if you are using a setup that can be zeroed dead on at 100, however if you zero at a different range (200, 300, etc) is that zero as it will show using hold unders for hitting realistic targets. Each string starts standing with all equipment in hand or on body, I.E.- wearing pack, hiking sticks in hand, etc. If you carry empty chamber- all strings start with empty chamber.
DO IT EXACTLY HOW YOU CARRY WHILE HUNTING!
(They need to be printed out at 100% scale, and then they are still in shooter MOA, not true MOA). All shot at 100 yards.
STRING 1: No time limits.
7MOA = 2 shots offhand
5MOA = 2 shots sitting unsupported
3MOA = 2 shots sitting or keeling with sticks or backpack
2MOA = 2 shots prone (can use a pack, but no rear bag, no bipod)
STRING 2: Is a repeat of string one, but with a 20 second par time. I set a timer on my phone, if the shot isn't taken BEFORE the buzzer, it doesn't count.
7MOA = 2 shots offhand in 20 seconds
5MOA = 2 shots sitting unsupported in 20 seconds
3MOA = 2 shots sitting or keeling with sticks or backpack in 20 seconds
2MOA = 2 shots prone in 15 seconds (can use pack, but no bipod and no rear bag)
STRING 3: is a "medley". One shot from each position, with a 60 second par time.
60 seconds to go from standing with all gear strapped in, to-
7MOA = 1 shot offhand
5MOA = 1 shot sitting unsupported
3MOA = 1 shot sitting or keeling with sticks or backpack
2MOA = 1 shot prone (can use pack, but no bipod and no rear bag)
It's scored out of 20. A decent score is in the 15/20 range, 17 to 18 should be the goal for the first year. It’s an excellent diagnostic tool as well as a great way to practice, and has a high correlation to performance with spot and stalk hunting shots.
