Good Question... Now think about this... If you are or will be like the rest of us you'll "need" to shoot your bow all year long! I mean, when you fall in love with this trad stuff a day won't go by without the desire to shoot and/or play with your stuff...

Anyway, as for myself, yes I shoot all year long! And Love It! In the basement, woods stump shooting, 3D range... It's all good.

Year round for me as Archery is what I do! Daily shooting doesn't allow me to forget , or rebuild muscle memory. I just enjoy it to much. Maxx

I shoot almost every day(I go ster  :smileystooges:   crazy if I don't)  Winter (snow & frozen   :D  targets make it  harder, but HOT WEATHER 90+  :mad:  /raining days are worst.  I find the hardest  :thumbsup:  home made targets get my knod   >>>---> last forever with rebuilds every 6 months(covers & restuffing). The only time of year my shooting falls off is hunting season ,I tend to shoot fewer arrows a day, just warm ups(and  on  :archer2:   nonhunting days)
As we get older our bow weight goes down and our body weight goes up, One of Lifes little jokes.

While I've been out of it for a few weeks, I usually shoot a little each week, year 'round.  I don't enjoy shooting in my basement, but I try to work on form then, during the winter months.  This winter I plan to rig up a blind bale to shoot at in my garage as well during the winter.
Life is a whole lot easier when you just plow around the stump.

Year round for me. A couple of years ago I tore my calf and actually shot in the house. From one room through the living room and into the hall. My wife was not home of course and don`t tell her...RC

I shoot yr round. During hunt'n season and real cold weather I slack off shooting only enough to stay strong and sharp. I try to shoot two sessions a day the rest of the year.

For me, theres nothing seasonal about trad archery, its an addiction and the overwhelming desire for improvement as well as the simple love of shooting, its a journey I live year round.
