How often??
 
How often do you shoot in the off season? I will try to shoot at least2 times aweek this year and maybe a little more if time will allow me too..and then as the season gets closer around Aug I will shoot about 4 times a week and then in Sept , it will be about 5 -6 days a week. However, I don't shoot for a long period of time, maybe 20 mins.

I'd say once or twice a week I actually practice.

But I try to shoot at least one or two arrows every day in the basement, just to keep the feel.

Off season? ;)

I'll shoot my bowfishing bow a couple hundred times during the weekends pretty much all summer. My hunting rig usually gets ignored until September. This year I need to shoot the hunting rig a lot more to work my bum shoulder back into shape. (crosses fingers)

when its warm out and there is lots of daylight I shoot anywhere from 2 to 7 times a week, depending on what my schedule allows. with it being cold and dark by the time I get done with school and work I don't get to shoot much outside. I have been shooting in my basement lately, its only about 10 paces but at the very least it lets me work on my form and mechanics. Plus I'm still getting used to this new bow so every little bit helps.

Depends on what you call the off-season. I like shooting my bows and as such I consider hunting season the off-season. That's when my bows spend most of their time hanging around on some bow hook instead ofbeing shot.

Now if you're talking about theother ten monthsof the year then I'd say about 3-4 times a week during the winter and 5 days a week during the spring through fall, up to hunting season. I probably average 50 shots per session, at least.

about a month ago i started shooting atleast every saturday.

once the weather breaks, i will be shooting atleast 2-3x a week....summer, i shoot 7 days a week so long as im home...usually 7x a week from mid may till the season though....

when the season starts, i shoot 3x a week...

going to college complicates things....im only home weekends to shoot...this summer will be real interested being i am most likely working out of state...dont know how im going to work that out...i know i can take my bow...but 1 job i will be 30 miles from the hard road the guy that called me said...figure if i get his permission i can shoot right there in the wildlife refuge, but highly doubt USFW will let me do that...just a guess, i will ask though if i get that job lol...just really up in the air...thats why as soon as the weather breaks i will be shooting every chance i get, tuning up the bow, fine tuning the pins...then if i really have to put the bow away from mid may till mid aug, i just gotta come home and find my anchor points and get back into it...

I shoot no less than once per week but usually twice. And of course there are times that I can not shoot at all for one reason or another.

i shoot as much as i can right now, depending on baseball and school. when it gets closer to the season and the weather gets nicer i shoot at least 4 times a week

RE: How often??
 
How many of you shoot from an elevated place, tree, shed top, deck, etc...?

Rory/MO 02-05-2008 06:49 PM

RE: How often??
 
i only shoot from my deck a couple times a year, right before i adjust my sights to get them "on" from an evelated spot

During the off season winter months- Zippo!! She's hanging on the hook in the porch all winter and spring. I'll start up practicing in June for bear hunting September 1st.

I have to admit, my schedule in hte past has not allowed me much time to shoot in the off season. But just a couple weeks ago, I put one of my ladder stands up in my back yard, and bought a my first 3d whitetail target, and will be setting it up in hte back yard and shooting a ton when things settle down at work, sometime in April. From December to around the first of April, I just dont have time. I am working 13 hour days, 5 days a week, and up to 8 hours on Saturday, so that only leaves me Sundays to do the family things.

not NEARLY as much as I should

RE: How often??
 
Depends. Usually 4-5x a week I'll at least shoot a few. Since I got the 10 yard range in my basement I'm able to shoot almost every day. In the last week I've shot a LOT, I bet I shot almost 400 arrows this past weekend alone.
