Used to shoot everyday, but since the nerve damage, I have backed off to 2 or 3 times a week, 25-50 arrows depending on how the neck and should is feeling. I miss shooting everyday, it is the way I keep my head in order, but 2 or 3 times a week is better than nothing at all. Mike

I retired last September.  I now shoot 4 to 8 hrs. everyday except Monday. (grandchildren).    I usually shoot the best on Tuesday after skipping Monday.

A few times a week weather permitting.  40-100 arrows per session.

I shoot every other day when I can. Usually at least 50 arrows per session except on Saturdays and then it's 100-200 arrows minimum!   :eek:

I shoot bows most days that the weather is reasonable and I am not prevented by work or travel from shooting. Anywhere from 50 to 300 arrows per session. I know that 300 is way too many, but it is sometimes hard to stop. When I am shooting heavy bows I shoot a lot fewer arrows, but my lighter bows don't tire me much and I can shoot for a long time without my form suffering too much. I try to stop when my form begins to break down. I should be shooting fewer arrows and working more on my form like Mel Riley (Irish) does!

I am lucky to have a 14 yard shot in my basement. I shoot a couple of arrows almost every day. I still like to shot outside as much as possible. 3D course once or twice a week untill hunting season.  :archer:

I try to shoot everyday, but that dont always happen so I shoot as often as I can, usually about 4 or 5 times a week if I'm lucky. A guy can never shoot to much!! Jason

almost everyday. Biggest factor is running out of arrows. Thanks to the kindness of Mike Orton; I have some shafts that should very soon get me shooting a whole lot more. When I have arrows; I shoot everyday.    :archer:

I have 2 little daughters, a wife, 2 dogs, 2cats, rabbits and cavys, a house with a lot of work to do and a job also.
So I am happy when I can shoot 3 times a week 120-150 arrows. But mostly it is just 2 times a week.

If the weather allows.... everyday..
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki
