RE: How often do you practice?
I shoot almost every day. I have a 15 yard target in a room next to my office, and I often take a break during work and go shoot a dozen arrows. I also have an outdoor range at home with 3D targets and a large Morrell target bag that I can shoot at from as far as 90 yards. In addition there is an archery shop with indoor and outdoor range, about 2 miles from where I live. I really enjoy shooting and I use all three of these frequently.
A lot of my shooting is blank bale or working strictly on aiming or back tension. I probably average 300-500 shots/week, though I know some weeks are well over a thousand.
