RE: Practice....we are talking about practice
Zero times...
I'll dust the bow off about 8 weeks before the season opens and practice 2-3 times a week for the first few weeks. (12-15 arrows each shoot)
Then 3-4 weeks before Sept 15th opener, it will be 4-5 times a week but only 9-12 arrows.
The last week I start shooting at sunset with my dull broad heads to get my eyes ready 3-6 arrows almost everyday.
During the season I take 1 shot only, before each time I go out, unless I miss my kill zone.
