How many of you shoot less in the winter months?

[riverrat 2]

I shoot less as well. I hate the daylight savings time. It's dark o'clock when I get home now. I participate in an indoor league,so thats 1 night a week,and weather permitting I shoot outdoors on Saturday/Sunday. rat'

[KentuckyTJ]

I do. I am usually in at least a two month burn out after our season ends and I don't touch a bow. By spring though I am back at it.

I tend to shoot about the same all year long.  Most days I shoot at least twenty arrows or so, at least five or six times per week.  My summer shooting sessions tend to be longer though.

I pretty much shoot every day. If the wind isn't blowing, I shoot outside no matter how cold it gets. The coldest session so far was -12.

If the wind is blowing, I shoot in the garage at about 16', or if it is a weekend, I'll drive to the indoor range.

[Thumper Dunker]

Winter is When I try go calling as much as posible. I hunt all year long.

[danderson]

Probably wont shoot until June but then its a couple times a week

[Bob4st]

...I shoot much less as well...been taking lessons at an archery shop every other weekend to improve form and start my nieces in the sport...but need to join a local club to pick up the pace...in meantime I lift and use stretch bands to keep shoulder & back in shape...

[Stumpkiller]

I shoot the same.  

Have the great fortune (or careful planning) to have a house with high basement ceilings and a 70 x 30 ft basement that allowed me to put up a 20 yard range.  I shoot every day before work and a couple times after.  In the summer I shoot my outdoor deer targets after work, and still shoot indoors before work.

[stocker56]

Shoot daily at home. Covered target butt and 3 3D targets out to 40 meters. Archery range every Sunday on 15 3D targets in deep snow  with bar-b-q following shoot. Shoot longer shots there as all the people I shoot with are compounders. Got to love a Canadian winter, aye!  

[Knawbone]

Shoot out in my yard most every day for at least a half hour,sometimes two to three hours from 10 to 30 yds. I go threw withdraws if I don't.Doesn't matter what the weather is.

[Stump73]

I at least shoot 2 to 3 times a week during hunting season but now that its over tomorrow I tend to shoot almost everyday. And 3d almost every weekend.

[smokin joe]

By the time I get home from work in the winter it is dark and I can't shoot. So, yes, I do shoot less in the winter months.

[leatherneck]

I tend to shoot a lot during winter. When hunting season ends there is not much else to do.

[typical2]

I usually shoot year round but right now the wind chill is below zero with 40 mph winds so i will not be verturing out today!

[bornagainbowhunter]

I shoot a lot less in the winter.  Actually by the end of season, I shoot the worst I will all year long.

It comes from being in a tree and not practicing as much as I do the rest of the year, but deer season is "go time" its why I practice...

God Bless,

I shoot daily,my outdoor range is as long or short as I decide. I own an acreage. Stump shoot at least a couple times a week, and 3D on Monday nights after kids shoot at indoor range! I'm Retired. My therapy starts as soon as I have the bow in hand. I am Happy when in the bush and just being out and about. The temperature does play a part , and winter winds are bad , but i make the most of it.

[Bowwild]

I shoot about the same amount. However, most of my shooting now is from 7-13 yards -- the distance of my lower level home range.

There is no indoor archery range near me but I wouldn't go there if there was.

[Slickhead]

I think I shoot the less during the months of Apr-July
I start in Aug heavy and normall shoot thru feb/march

[pamike]

20 yd indoor range in my shed! i think i shoot more now than i do in the fall.

[Altiman94]

I shoot a lot less in the winter time.  I used to have about 15y in my basement to shoot, but since I moved I only shoot a couple times at a local indoor range in the winter.  It's depressing, but what I put up with.
