How Much Do You Shoot?

[ScottL]

I was just curious as to how much everyone shoots on average. I generally try to shoot at least 200-300 arrows a week. Only reason I don't get more time in is because I don't have enough daylight for more than a few dozen arrows after I get off work. What's yalls average?

Not As Much As I Should!  :(

[Rick Richard]

I try to shoot a few dozen everyday.  However because of shooting a heavier bow recently, I am attempting to cut back to every other day or until the tendonitis subsides.  Getting older is not fun!

[Mudd]

Almost every day, either outside or inside or both.

It may only be a half dozen shots but I think it's important to try to get my shots in.

God bless,Mudd

usually 500-600 arrows a week. I have a large back yard and shoot well into the dark with the porch light on. Range is closer, say 10 yards, 15 max but I figure its just training for low light hunting conditions.  :D

Sounds like I need to step it up. Guess I'll be buying a light. lol

I try to shoot everyday. Sometimes I shoot 50-100 arrows and other days I shoot as little as 1 or 2. Like Mudd said I thinks its important to try and shoot daily.

I try to shoot for about 15 minutes a day. I find that for me this works best. I don't really shoot alot of arrows, just one at a time, but I really focus on the whole shot process.

Pretty much everyday throughout the year.  Outside if it's nice or in the basement.  I'm not shooting as many as arrows as I use to but a solid 20 each day.

[Rustic]

I shoot everyday. Either inside or outside and sometimes as little as 6 arrows.

[Bernie B.]

I try to shoot most days.  Probably around 20-30 arrows each time out.  Some days a lot more, just depends on my schedule for the day.

It is a rare day that I don't get 60-100 arrows in.  The weather has to be really crappy or I am out of town.  I try to keep it up throught the season too.

I try to get in 30 shots or so a day. Been having a crick in my neck for over a week now, so haven't been able to shoot.

[ScottL]

Sounds like some of you really put some time in. Is this target shooting or stumping or maybe a combonation of both?

[casey37]

I shoot about 5 times a week and between 100-200 arrows each time.

[Jake Diebolt]

I shoot once a week in the winter, when I only have access to a range once a week (apartment dweller).

In the summer 2-3 times per week, usually no more than 40 or 50 arrows (usually one at a time for focus.)

Almost everyday.....sometimes for 20 minutes, sometimes for an hour. On days I go stumping or to a 3-D that's winds up several hours. Anytime you get a chance is my motto!!  

[ScottL]

ron- I like your motto. I actually have a takedown longbow being built and plan on carrying it in my truck for any unsuspecting oppurtunities that may arrise.

I also shoot nearly every day. I'm more likely to shoot multiple times daily than not shoot at all. I work at home and have 3 ranges available: Lower level indoors, backyard, 1/4 mile 3-D trail between my son's and my house.

Sometimes I simply shoot 6-12 shots for about 10 minutes. Other times I'll shoot for 90 minutes or so.  The vast majority of my outdoor shooting these days is at 30 yards as I try to figure out a couple of things to make 20 and under as automatic as realistically possible.  The 30-yard shooting magnifies something I'm working on.

This site is the only thing that's going to keep my archery addiction fed for the next three weeks as I won't even be able to touch one of my bows.

I try to shoot everyday..

I for sure get in at least 5 days a week
