I also shoot pretty much year round. My shooting practice continues all thorugh hunting season as well, especially once the weather gets cold and bitter, granted I don't shoot as much but I make it to the backyard to through a few arrows atleast every other day.

I'm kind of surprised that some here rarely shoot their rigs! [:-]I just kind of thought that the kind of folks that would be attracted to a large hunting forum like this one would be pretty much comitted to the sport at a year round basis. Remember, you can't ever blame anything but yourself for poor performance when you don't work at it. Shot ops at trophy class animals simple don't comeoften enough to not be prepared for them, the way I see it.
