How Much Do You Shoot?

[sticksnstones]

I only shoot every other day, between 150-200 at a go. I've been thinking about cutting back the number of shots, and doing 1-2 dozen into a bare bale on my off days.

Very good thread, glad you posted it!

Try to hit the woods at least 2-3 times weekly for about 2-3 hours worth of pine cone & stunted wild bush eradication. Might set up a 15 yard daily target here before long?

I'm erratic. I shot twice a week during January, February and March. Since April has arrived, I haven't shot at all this month.

Archery is only one of my two main hobbies. In other words, since I live close to the upper Texas coast, the flounder have been calling me and I've been answering their call.    :D

[akbowbender]

Almost every day. I probably shoot too much. Just can't help myself!

[**DONOTDELETE**]

i hate to go long periods without shooting at all, But that's rare for me. You loose your strength a lot quicker as you get a bit older if you don't keep it up. This time of year i shoot 60-100 arrows a day  right in the shop using my own bows, and i always get a bit more exercise tuning the bows I'm building too....

I'd love to spend more time on my range, but this eternal rain makes it tough to enjoy.

3-4 days a week depending on the weather. Alternate between shooting RH and LH, roughly 50 arrows per session.

I try to shoot everyday even if it is as few as 12

Sometimes when I can't shoot I will visualize shooting or use a non-elastic "String Bow" loop of string to practice form. In fact, when I shoot my bow I pretend it is the loop of string and when I shoot the String I pretend it is the bow. Process over results.

I shoot everyday..  Maybe 20-40 shots.

Almost always only one arrow and from differing ranges for each shot.  Always working on one aspect of form or another..

[cacciatore]

A lot everyday,inside or outside depending from the weather.

Sometimes only once or twice a week, mostly nearly every day. I favor stumpin', even if it's 10 or 15 minutes out behind the shed. Favorite is 1/2 hour or more roving. Puts my head in a much better place.
Target shooting, I usually shoot 3 arrows per round, anywhere from
3 shots to a few dozen. I often avoid shooting if I know my concentration is off. I'd rather shoot fewer arrows better, than shoot just to shoot.
Also shoot year 'round, though in winter it's usually just a few arrows.

Wow really jealous of you guys that get to shoot everyday.

school is such a bummer!!

[kbetts]

Everyday mostly.  Sometimes only 6 or 8, some days 6 or 8 dozen.

[WRV]

Two or three times a week at least, sometimes more.

[BobCo 1965]

I try to get out 400 arrows per week. Quality is more important then quantity in any case. Flinging arrows just to say you shot a certain number isn't going to help all that much.

[braveraven]

Wind, snow, clear or cloudy, I am out everyday unless i'm away from home.  Work in a good, long walk in the forest with stump shooting as much as i can. Following knee replacement and reconstructive foot sugery, the walking and shooting have kept me woods worthy.

[moleman]

I try for 15 to 20 minutes a day, only shooting one arrow at a time. Knowing that i have just one shot, seems to help me pick a spot and follow thru better.

[GreyGoose]

I shoot daily.  Anywhere from 20 to 60 shots, depending on light, etc.

[3Under]

I shoot almost every day, 100-200 arrows a time occasionally I shoot 50 more.
Some days just for form, other days for accuracy. I need a lot of practice!! I've been working on the Hill/Shultz style     method  for the last year and a half with some advise from good Hill style shooters.

[stickbowmaniac]

On average 4-5 days per week.50-60 arrows per day
