Default How much do you shoot per week?

Yeah, I know this is kind of lame, but I'm doing my own little research paper and wonder how many arrows per week ya'll shoot. Estimate, of course, I don't expect anyone to know exactly how many arrows they shoot.

I, for one, shoot around 500/ week, if the weather is nice. I'll admit, when it gets really hot out, I don't shoot. But I notice if I haven't shot for a week or so. Anyway, just curious. Thanks.

I clicked 0-99...hell I don't know

Today I shot 4 arrows....hey, they were 4 good arrows.

Sometimes I shoot 2, sometimes I grab 1....

Times I shoot dozens...

so....0-99 sounds about right.

I shoot around 400 a week, I try not to over do it, give it a break a couple days a week to rest up.One of my shooting fingers got pretty messed up a couple years ago and it still gets quite sore and swollen if I don't watch it.

Normally, I do not shoot a lot of arrows at one time either. I always try to make my first shot count.....it may take me and hour to shoot a dozen arrows. I will shoot an arrow then go do something else for 5 minutes or so.

During the winter I hardly ever touch my bow. Come summer time and early fall I will start shooting alot, usually shoot 200-300 arrows probably in a week this time of the year. Today I shot alot, was trying different broadheads with my new bow tryin to decide which fixed blades to shoot on my upcoming antelope hunt while hunting out of the double bull blind.

200+/week every week year-round.Some weeks more if there's a big 2 or 3 day shoot.

After reading that it's better to shoot every other day, I follow that advice. And since I probably shoot around 30 arrows per session, I picked 0-99.

I generally shoot about 300 a week with the compound, but now that the recurve is in the picture, the Hoyts get about 200 and the recurve gets about 500.

I don't shoot as much as I was a couple months ago. To be honest since the NYS ASA championship I have slacked off a bit because of the end of my 3D season, 65+ hours a week of work, and getting my hunting property ready. Right now I am shooting about 100 arrows a week. There was a time last winter where I was shooting 1000+ a week for a 3 month period straight. I have some business travel coming up this week and next but when that is done I will be putting 500-1000 downrange a week getting ready for spots season. My goal is to shoot a 450 my first week of indoor league starting in January so I have some training to do in order to get there.
