RE: Started shooting today...
I never stop shooting. If I can't get to the park with the archery range, I drive 45 minutes to my club. If I don't want to do that (price of gas) I shoot at 7 yards in the basement.
My skill level is not where I want it to be and if I lay off any significant time, I can see the deterioration in my groups.
We have a "no shooting in residental areas" law around here too. That's why I hung a bag in the basement.
Good shooting!
