RE: Who Practices Year-Round? Is it REALLY Necessary?
All year - yes and no. I shoot all the year available to me.
I rarely shoot from 1/1 to 4/15 or 4/20. I shot my bow one time during tax season this year. That was more to let off steam.
Do I need to? Most definetly. Archery is not natural to me. Having hunted with a gun all my life. I need to shoot all year so when the moment of time comes then it is natural to me. Still being what I deem a newbie, the mechanics of archery still leave me if I lay off a while.
Not to mention I enjoy it, it releave stress and drives the folks in the two offices beside mine CRAZY.
