Default RE: How much practice???

I just joined a video league, shoot that once a week. Do 3D once a week too, after warming up at 20-40 yards. Got a little over a month til the season starts, so I'll be throwin in some elevated stand broadhead practice too. Hopefully, I'll have a chance to break out my climber and sling some arrows from that before I hit the woods on opening day.

I'm in PA so I have until Sept 30. I'm practicingtwice a day at this point. Didn't shoot much over the summer so I have to get the muscles back in shape now.

I am shooting 3-4 times a week right now. That is all you need if you practice the right way.

I have been practicing about 3-4 times a week with about 50 shots each. After about 30 shots I start falling off. So I am going to shorten my sessions this week so I dont pick up any bad habits. But my first 20 shots I can touch arrows everytime.... But that means nothing when a deer steps out.......

I concur. Not that an accomplished shooter like Rick needs to hear that. I would like to emphasize that practicing at long ranges will make the 10-30 yard shots feel like freebies when it really matters.
