Well, it certainly can't hurt and it would likely help your marksmanship, if nothing else.
I don't know if there would be much comparison to "the real deal" on a stress level. Of course, it would be different for all of us so, YMMV. I have a friend who used to compete on a national level in archery (took 3rd once in Atlantic City or Vegas, can't remember which). He always says that there are more stress induced shooting errors while hunting than in competition. IMO, the stress of knowing that you get a smaller trophy if you screw up would not likely compare to the stress of knowing that you die if you screw up, or worse, might die even if you DON'T screw up.
It can't hurt though, I was going to look into some local competition when I got my permit but I never did. I really should.
