I flew three practice approaches tonight (7/29).

#1 - LDA 2 into KHFD. BDL Approach specifically stated "remain VFR".
HFD Tower called out so much traffic, I couldn't call my missed. None
of the traffic was anything near IFR separation.

None was needed unless that traffic was IFR or another VFR aircraft
practicing approaches. Still not needed if visual separation was being
used.
