when its warm out and there is lots of daylight I shoot anywhere from 2 to 7 times a week, depending on what my schedule allows. with it being cold and dark by the time I get done with school and work I don't get to shoot much outside. I have been shooting in my basement lately, its only about 10 paces but at the very least it lets me work on my form and mechanics. Plus I'm still getting used to this new bow so every little bit helps.
