I like to get ready for work, walk out on the deck, with the morning still and quiet...shoot anywhere from 12 to 24 arrows. Just depends on how it is going. If I am shooting well I shoot more. If not, I shoot less and concentrate on one thing to try and improve.

Every other day....12-15 arrows in my basement for a warm up then 20 or so arrows outside roaming around my yard.

Almost every day.  Not a lot of arrows, I try to work on form.  I try not to fling arrows just to fling arrows (even though I love to shoot).   Everytime I shoot, I try to work on something.  Back tension, steady bow arm, etc.

Well, last fall I was shootin' everyday. Then, since Christmas, my time shootin' has decreased dramatically. Had some health issues with my mom, then along came the ice storm and I been using my time cleaning up from it(I live in a woods) and now I been fletching some arrows lately and finally starting to get back to shootin' about twice a week since I been laid off.

I'd like to set a goal to shoot at least every other day.

As often as I can. Sometimes 2 or 3 times in a day.
