I end up getting busy this time of year and not getting a chance to do anything. When it gets closer to season I get serious about practicing. I try to get out every couple days at the least. I never paid attention to how many I shoot I just shoot until I get tired and it effects my shooting.

I'll shoot close to start and then back off as I need to for my arrows sake. I usualy get to 25-30 yards. Then I try to do some stump shooting. A Judo in the back yard it great for distance practice. I usualy pic a blade of grass or a weed etc and let it fly. Thejudo stops the arrow withoutit snaking under the grass. Itsmore fun thanflinging at a target andhelps you on judging distance, and with pickking a spot.

In fact I neverrealy worry about the distance anymore....What I mean by that is for how Ishoot I never think"OK I'm at twenty yards... I need to aim here..." etc. I just draw and release. The more you shoot the easier that is.
