I shoot as much as I can until I am confident in making a great shot on a deer. For some that might be 1000 arrows, for others it might be 10. Who are we to judge what is correct? It's like everyone complaining that a professional football player who doesn't practice during the week, comes in to make the big plays on game day. As long as the final result is what we are looking for let's not belittle others. Personally I practice pretty much from March until hunting seaon. Shooting about 3 days a week and 50 arrows each time I shoot. My groups are not 3/4 inch, but I am confident I will make an ethical kill shot when I need to.
