RE: How Often and How Many??
I haven't practiced every single day since February 2007, but I've come really close. Unless it's raining, I'm out of town or sick or something similar, I practice every day. Usually, it'ssomewhere in the ballpark of 30 to 80 shots. I practice with the longbow first, then take a break and grab the compound and practice.
Only once did I shoot one arrow and quit. I had just recently gotten the longbow and my first arrow sailed over my HUGE MorrellsOutdoor Range Target, glanced off my back fence and went into the woods. After about 15 minutes of looking for it, I was disgusted and I quit for the day.
