What would you say is a safe number of times to shoot at a target before fatigue starts to set in? In other words how many shots do you take when practicing? I usually shoot 4 arrows at 10, 20, and 30. But by the time I get to 30 yards I don't know if my sight is off or I just can't stay steady enough. When I shoot, is it better to shoot from 1 distance only, then stop for a while and then try a different distance the next time? Or am I doing it right checking all my distances at once?
Try mixing it up some. Don't always shoot the same routine. Next time start out at 30 yards when you are your strongest. Then work your way in. Or maybe just spend 1 shooting session at the same range the entire time. As others have said the best way to fight fatigue is to work those muscles. Whether that is shooting more or exercising isup to you. I personally mix a little of both.
