I like to shoot one arrow when I'm stump shooting. It helps me focus on my target better. It also gives me exercise walking to go get the arrow.

Me too Sirius....it makes me focus on the 'shot at hand' - as if I only HAD but 1 arrow to shoot - so I had better make that 1 shot COUNT! And that mindset does seem to make me shoot better...and concentrate way more as well!

I tend to rush my shots and not focus. I'm going to give this method a try.

When I am able to practice outdoors I generally shoot 4-5 arrows per round (from any given yardage), but rarely for a grouping.
 Plenty of room on my bale (fortunate enough to have the area) to pick a spot high, low, left or right. Some shots standing, kneeling, or sitting for a little different perspective on a particular shot. Just my routine.
 Totally agree that solid form & focus and not rushing is key to making a quality shot.
If this was easy, everyone would be doin' it!

Practising one arrow at a time is a good routine.
However just like any routine, changing up once you become a little stale, losing focus or stop improving is wise and will breath life into your practise sessions.

Having multiple routines and the continuance of developing or integrating new routines will keep you a little off balance and may serve to imrpove your all around shooting skills.

Hunting situations and releasing arrows on live targets may demand much more.
