My experience is you can practice until the cows come home and 365 days a year but depending on your nervous temperament things rather go out the window when attempting to do it for real – as in when a buck presents itself or subjecting to a competitive situation – read rifle club match.
So the only meaningful steer I can provide; mindful that practicing on the real thing is neither to be recommended nor DMQ L1 or 2 Best Practice, is that once you've mastered the mechanics of using sticks, is to join a club that engages in sporting rifle-like competition.
Nothing else comes close to subjecting one to the stresses of an in-the-field buck fever-like situation than knowing your “stalkers test” match score will appear in the next club news letter.
Trust me!

I agree entirely. I have used just twin sticks for 15 years and can't imagine not using them now. Practice till it's second nature and I can recommend practicing in competition conditions whilst being barraked as this gets the adrenaline flowing too.
