I shoot year round, ok maybe a short break after the season until the new year. I do it for a few reasons:

- I enjoy shooting my bow, leagues, on my own, indoor, outdoor whatever, I just like it.

- Muscle memory and condition. The muscles used to draw and hold steady are very tough to excercise day to day in any other manner.

- when the "real" shot comes, I want my shot process and aiming to go onto auto-pilot, no debating what pin to shoot, no fear of using the wrong one etc.
