I shoot as much as time will allow. Unfortunately that's gone from hundreds of arrows per week to zero. Like many things and many types of shooting, you will get out of it as much as you put into it. Keep in mind, volume of practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect. When you find you're fatigued or losing focus, stop your session or you'll just be reinforcing poor habits and form. :wink:

Well said!
I would sure like to meet and shoot with some of you someday. Maybe at Boo fest if I ever get the chance.

You name it, sun clouds rain snow hot cold windy calm,,, hell I figured if it was all the same I wouldn't notice all the difference when shooting in all these different conditions.... If you don't,,, well yo won't,,,, I shoot year round, bows rifles pistols you name it. Hunting till February 7th here, then some hard water fishing fer some blue gill and perch fer the freezer, then the end of March I hit the largest Walleye River run in the world usually put up around 120 to 150 depending how good the run is, but I fish that till May, most every day with few off. After that is when I hunt a few Morrel and maybe talk to a few birds till mif May,,,, then its back to shoot'n,,, how far to what direction does your bow shoot in the wind you have outside today,,,,, :wink:

I like to shoot at least once or twice a week during hunting season just to be sure I am dialed in. I have a small 20 yd range in my basement which is handy.
