I try 20 to 60 shots 3 to 4 times a week. Every day if I can, but usually never happens.

I'm another that believes in quality over quantity. However many I shoot, I want them all to be totally focused shots. Prefer 10 good arrows over 100 sloppy shots.

I never count shots, and rarely shoot groups. I shoot one arrow and go get it. I think this helps with focus, and I don't get tired quickly.

Somewhere between 100-200, I'd guess. Some weeks in winter, maybe a little less.
Don't shoot a whole lot of arrows when I'm shooting my hay bales, and stumping a few times (or more) each week maybe a dozen or three.

I think about 350-400 per week, trying to shoot every day.

A BUNCH!

I usually shoot 5-6 days a week. Anywhere from 100-200 shots per day shooting.

In good weatherI try to go out in my yard for 10-15 minutes before I leave for work and then at night after dinner and take about 10-20 shots. Each shot is at a different range and a different mark between 10 yards and 40 yards. Overall 100-200 shots/week.

I'm having rotator cuff issues so I'm down to 80 to a 100 a week.  During 3D season it would have been more like 500.

I think 150/week, unless the weather gets truly bad and stays that way.

Cootling,

You beat me to it.  That was going to be my response.

I can't shoot everyday but when I can I shoot 20 to 50 per session. Can shoot one to three sessions in a day if you want.  Shoot two to five arrows max at a time then pull from target.

Good practice not long practice is key.  If get fatigued or lose full concentration you should stop.  If not practicing correct form with full concentration then it's not practice just shoot'n around.

That is what I have learned from other members.
