Default How do you guys shoot so much.

My plan was to have a target and start shooting two or three times a week. With college starting and working on my house and the two cabins i have bought i am having trouble getting the time to even buy a target not even considering shooting. How do you find the time.

I'm self employed...

You have 24 hours in a day it's what you do with them that counts...When I was your age, I'd shoot at night, just use the flood light on the garage to shoot, it helped me wind down after a long day...You don't have to shoot for long, 15 minutes a day keeps you sharp...

I always have my bow by the door with arrows close by. When ever I get ready for work or leave the house, I'll shoot a round of arrows then bring them back upstairs when I return from what ever I went to do, repeat daily! I'll shoot anywhere from a dozen to a hundred+ arrows any given day! I don't have to "force" myself to shoot, I just want to!

if you have a certain time of the day that you like to watch a certain tv show. give it up. every time you have a free second then use it. 15 min a day equals almost 8 hours a month. that would give you almost 60 hours between now and next season.

Well in the winter, Iput a block target out by the gardenso canI open my bedroom window and screen, and practice next to a space heater and budweiser. Shoot 4 or 5 arrows, wait for a commercial to go get them, and repeat...

This is only done after I finish studying, i swear
