Default RE: Who Practices Year-Round? Is it REALLY Necessary?

Like Arthur, I enjoy shooting my bow, but I do take a fairly long break from the end of bow season until I get some decent weather days to take it outside. I shoot a good bit during the summer months and am at it most every day the last 2 months before the opener.

Like any sport, perfect practice will help you to improve. I try to focus on just one aspect of shooting each time I shoot. It may be concentrating on NOT torqueing the bow at the shot today and tomorrow it's back tension I'm thinking about. I've started increasing my distances too--out to 70 yards. This makes shots under 40 yards seem easy by camparison.

If you're satisfied with a 6" group, that's fine, but if a real bruiser swaggers by just out of your effective range, you may kick yourself for not preparing for that opportunity.
