Default One shot practice.

I was wondering how many of you evergo out to your target and shoot just one arrow? Good shot or bad, and that's it. It gives you something to ponder about your accuracy and confidence,good or bad. Remember, it's usually a one shot hunt.

I agree, the first arrow you shoot is the one that counts

If I am working around the house on a project or something, I'll set up my target and every 15 minutes to a half an hour I'll go take one shot.

No one mentioned about broadheads... So I will... Been doing that for the last 20 years with a broadhead... I haven't shot a practice point in, I don't know how long

I even did it at the last 3D shot I was on... I was having a hard time hidding that arrow from the crowd

Honestly.....If I'm gonna take the time to get my bow out......strap on the hip quiver.....put me release aid on......I'm gonna shoot several arrows.

The sight on my bow doesn't change. I'm wondering how the first arrow is any more important than the 20th if you're practicing, correctly? They ALL "count".

No, the sight doesn't change,people do. The first shotis the most important because you're likely not getting a second, let alone a 20th. Yes, they are all important, but not like the first.
