RE: How much shooting practice do you really need?
 

I enjoy shooting my bows! Although I haven't picked up my Bowtech since I killed a deer this past Jan, I shoot my Longbow everyday! :)

I just recently picked my bow up since the close of season and shot it a few times,I think a couple of practice sessons a week consisting of about 50 shots a sesson while really working on form cocentration,ect. is more valuable than shooting a couple hundred arrows of just shooting.I like to shoot my deer target late in the evening and always try to put that first shot right in the boiler maker I think it mimicks shooting after sitting for a long period of time.

Really, what do you consider practice? If standing in your yard, shooting at a fixed target, at various yardage is your idea of practice, then your really not practicing. I practice shooting on the ground, from a tree, sitting, standing, at sunrise, at sunset, at high noon, in 90 degree whether, in 30 degree whether, in rain, in wind, shooting with the sun in my eyes, shooting in shirtsleeves, shooting in full winter clothing. No, I don't think you can practice too much.

I love to shoot, so I shoot a lot. BUT, I think if a feller were to shoot 6 arrows every other day, he would stay perfectly in tune.

I started practicing when I got myfirst bow (Drenalin)in early '07 and haven't stopped since. The only days I don't practice are rainy days and when I'm sick or traveling. Now that I have a longbow, I practice with both almost every single day. I won't stop practicing until Quicksilver is no longer the "king" and I can out-shoot Rick James.:D:D

Of course, that means I can never quit, but oh well.... I enjoy it.

Its possible, my neighbor bring his bow down one week befor season opens toshoot with me every year to make sure its good to go and hes not that good of a shot, yet he fills his tags every year. Its only one shot, and he is 72 years old!
Its not like shooting 60 arrows into an X ring where you need muscle stamina. As long as one knows the shot process and follows through with it , its only one shot.
My dad was not an archer, but when my frinds and I would be shooting in the yard he would say let me see that thing and shoot a bulls eye and hand it back, but you could never get him to take another shot!

Luckily I can shoot in my backyard. I only shoot 10 or so arrowsa time at a few times a week and it works for me. Concentrating on the first arrow to make a good shot is key. I practice at 40 - 70 yards to make it interesting. I can hit the 3" spot on my bag target about half the time at 40 yards. The other arrows are close.

If I shoot alot my back gets sore and then I have to go see the bone cracker.

Exactly. I've been in Irvine, California all this week, and it's KILLING me I can't be out shooting my bows! I'll take most ofthe dayoff Friday just to put several hundred shots through a few of them.

I try and shoot as much as possible whenever possible - helps keep the muscles in tune and also helps with the confidence factor
