This time of year it seems like a melding of things. Starting to get ready for the season but it's getting hotter than a $2 pistol too.
-
I "try" to get in 30 minutes a day. Doesn't always happen.Even if I can't squeeze in that much time I try and get out and shoot at least a half a dozen "good" arrows. Sometimes just time enough for 1 shot. But I try and make that one count.
-
I have a hard time focusing for more then 3 - 5 shots. So I do that, then move my target around (a cabela dear), up the hill or down or I go up the hill. Shoot 3 - 5 more, etc. takes a while but I shoot very few shats.
-
byron ferguson says its the quality of the arrows shot not the quantity he shoots 3 arrows a time 12-15 x a day i love to shoot and shoot alot of arrows any chance i get
-
I am new to recurve shooting as of 3 months ago. For the past 2.5 months or so I have been shooting on average around 100-120 shots a day, 6 days a week. I figure I need to groove in good form and shot sequence so when the moment of truth arrives I react with instinct instead of panic and over thought.
-
I find I do much better doing it only when I feel motivated to shoot. Usually I get the motivation after dinner when I'm relaxed from a day working around my place. If I've done hard physical labor or play 18 holes of golf I'm too tired so don't shoot. I don't bang a lot of arrows unless it's really cool and pleasant and then I go to my 16 target course at my house.
-
too much!!!! my family says :banghead:
-
Not enough I say.
-
Week days,from 30 minites to an 1 hour.
On most weekends,,pretty much all day both days.
Shooting is about all I do nowdays.
I have a Dog,a Goat,and a wife.
I don't need to bark,trim the hedge,or mow the lawns,,,;^)
-
15 to 30 shots, every other day.
Much more than that, I begin a downward slide.
-
Nothing on a schedule but it will be as often as I can. My favorite is w/ a judo around the yard. I make a couple of rounds and then inside before the skeeters carry me away.
-
I shoot 1 to 2 hours a day except on 3d shoot days. Working on form change also shoot some blank bail every day that I pratice.
-
All depends on the day, and the kids. If it's nice out, I'm out after work. If the kids finish their dinner, we all go out. If they do bad, than nobody gets to shoot. It's a great motivator for them, they love shooting with me, and I love shooting with them.
-
Shoulders are gettin to bad to practice much,Im down to relyin on experince :biglaugh:
-
If I go to work at my regular 8am time, I shoot 45 minutes every morning. Some days I'm up and gone before daylight though.
I try to shoot an hour or so in the evenings if I make it home before dark and have my chores taken care of.
-
I shoot every day. sometimes longer, sometimes shorter. I try and make my first arrow the best arrow. Normal routine, is stand in the garage and "dry draw" the bow for 10 times holding for 5 seconds or more, stretching my muscles "I do this before each hunt, and in the tree stand or on the ground, when nothing is happening". I usuallay shoot 5 arrows, ten times. I start at 10 yds, and then 15 then 20 then 25 then mix it up from there. I concentrate more on release, than anything else. The spot, just naturally comes.
-
Butcher, this is about what I do myself several times a day, every day.
-
Cottonwood,
seems to work, I try and not fatique myself, as then the shooting goes down the drain. This routine, seems to just keep me sharp. I'd like to shoot more, but I know bad habits are sure to follow.
-
I don't know usually i try to shoot for an hour 5 days a week which translate to probably 100 arrow each time i go out. Changing distances ever once in awhile. Usually shooting 8 arrow groups or maybe less.
-
For me, I shoot until I get tired. I know I am getting tired when my shots start to fall apart. Usually, that is 20-30 arrows. One thing I will say though is that it's all about form. Once the form starts to go, bad things will follow!
-
I shoot as often as I can but with my work scedule & then being Mr. Mom till moma get's home most times my shooting is just 5 - 10 arrows at no more than 15 yards into my basement, & hopefully some arrow time during the weekends but I do try to perform my best form shot each time.
-
I try to shoot everyday when I take lunch at work, shoot for 45 minutes to an hour. On the weekends I try to get a good 1 hour of solid practice. This includes some short distance blank bail work on form.
-
Unfortunately, I usually get out about once every 7-10 days. NOWHERE near enough. I do visualize shooting daily. Helps a bit...or am I hallucinating? LOL
-
Anywhere between 15 and 60 shots per day (1 arrow and go pull it-year round in minnesota) vary the distance up to 25 yds in my yard and never more than 25 shots per session as I lose focus and then I start shooting poorly.

I try to get a quality one hour of practice everyday.
-
I practice daily as much as I can,I have hard time to stop.
-
I don't practice as much as I should. When I do practice I try to have quality practice over just flinging X number of arrows. When I don't have the time or inclination to go outside and shoot I will shoot blank bale inside. When I do practice outside I will shoot one arrow at a time and vary the distance with each shot. Either doing a walk up or walk back from my target butt. Maybe once a week I will go out and shoot my Mckenzies I have set up. Then for practice I may shoot a local shoot once a month to prepare for the national level shoots.
Shooting on this type of schedule allows to keep focused while shooting(not burnt out from shooting), it forces me to make every arrow count(just like in a tournament or hunting situation), and makes me work to be as good on the first shot as you want to be on the 40th shot.
-
I shoot at least twice a day sometimes 3 or 4 sessions. Average about 3hrs a day trying to build strength and get back in form.
I haven't shot recurves in over 40yrs and am having a hard time getting back in the groove.
-
During the week I shoot 25 to 50 arrows daily. The first shot is my practice hunting shot concentrating on hitting what I am aiming at. I then work on form (4 or 5 arrows shot before retrieving) until a little fatigue sets in and then finish shooting by making a really good shot. If I feel the shot is not adequate additional shots are taken (1 shot then retrieved). I like to have a positive last practice memory.
On weekends, I go to our archery club and shoot the 3Ds with friends concentrating on making good shots and working on distance.
-
I shoot three to four days a weed 10 to however many arrows until I get tired, starting in September I try to shoot every day until mid January.
-
I'll usually try to shoot 15 to 30 minutes in the morning before work and 20 or 30 minutes in the evenin if I aint fishin.

-
I try to shoot at least for 30 minutes daily.
-
six to seven days a week usually only about 20 arrows. Don't count them just if it feels right. Quality not Quantity.
-
Only once or twice a week, to protect my worn-out shoulders. More when deer season gets closer, including judo roving, to sharpen my random distance computer.
-
Shooting time wise I usually get in about 4-5 hours per week. However, I also do specific strength training and stretching along with cardio which also takes up about 4-5 hours per week. I'm 45 now and want to keep going for a long time to come. :)
