I was just curious as to how much everyone shoots on average. I generally try to shoot at least 200-300 arrows a week. Only reason I don't get more time in is because I don't have enough daylight for more than a few dozen arrows after I get off work. What's yalls average?

I try to shoot a few dozen everyday. However because of shooting a heavier bow recently, I am attempting to cut back to every other day or until the tendonitis subsides. Getting older is not fun!

Almost every day, either outside or inside or both.

It may only be a half dozen shots but I think it's important to try to get my shots in.

God bless,Mudd

usually 500-600 arrows a week. I have a large back yard and shoot well into the dark with the porch light on. Range is closer, say 10 yards, 15 max but I figure its just training for low light hunting conditions. [Big Grin]

I try to shoot everyday. Sometimes I shoot 50-100 arrows and other days I shoot as little as 1 or 2. Like Mudd said I thinks its important to try and shoot daily.

I try to shoot for about 15 minutes a day. I find that for me this works best. I don't really shoot alot of arrows, just one at a time, but I really focus on the whole shot process.

Pretty much everyday throughout the year. Outside if it's nice or in the basement. I'm not shooting as many as arrows as I use to but a solid 20 each day.

I try to shoot most days. Probably around 20-30 arrows each time out. Some days a lot more, just depends on my schedule for the day.

It is a rare day that I don't get 60-100 arrows in. The weather has to be really crappy or I am out of town. I try to keep it up throught the season too.

I try to get in 30 shots or so a day. Been having a crick in my neck for over a week now, so haven't been able to shoot.

Sounds like some of you really put some time in. Is this target shooting or stumping or maybe a combonation of both?
