Well it seems that I' m a bit of an oddball here. I have shot once this summer, since last season. I' ll start shooting a couple days a week until my season opens, oct 4th. I don' t need to practice much to be able to shoot good. By the time its all said and done I will have shot from a tree, in full garb, with broadheads. I don' t think the amount of time spent shooting should be a basis of how serious someone is about the sport.
