How much do you practice
 
I am just curious how much you show your bow.

With a compound, about once or twice a year. With my trad bows. Once or twice a week.

I don't shoot my Xbow very often. Just before season to make sure its sighted in.

It is hard to practice with as quick as it gets dark and not getting off work until 5....

I try to shoot every day but with work, wife, and child it usually works out to be about 5 times a week. I move a bag target into my barn light for night time shooting. Thats longbow and compound.

Right now, I pretty much shoot everyday. Probably about 24-36 arrows.

Try to every day but with 5 kids, wife, honey do lists, wrestling season and actually getting to hunt it usually ends up being 4-5.

About 3 times a week.

Bout 3 times a week, about 12-30 arrows each time. I shoot from different angles and such...set the target in wierd locations and then range it with the RF'r and pop off 3-4 arrows then move again.

I think I know every range in my yard by now...lol

In the summer I shoot at least 5 days a week. During the season I try to shoot at least twice a week, at least a few arrows.

I'm still shooting just about every day as i have all year long! I really enjoy it!

Vabowman 11-25-2008 06:11 PM

about 2-3 times a week during the season and about 4-5 times a week from May-Sept...Dec-Apr...about 1 time a week...

5 to 7 days a week. 300+ arrows a week.

During the summer pretty much every day.

During the winter as often as I have light.

Compound and recurve but probably more with the compound right now as I am still getting it set up right.

It really depends probably avg about 3xs/wk right now. Floodlights at night and sometimes throughout the day I'll shoot a few if work is slow.

I shoot every chance i get. i try to shoot everyday not just for improvement but b/c i enjoy it. my life is very busy and its the one thing i feel like i can do to completely lose touch with everything else for the time im shooting.

even in the winter i shoot almost everyday no matter how cold. i usually shoot at night b/c the winter winds die down at night. i have big flood lights in my back yard and one points at the target and the others about twenty yards out.

I don’t practice very much when it comes to my compound. Pretty much none thru the winter, some in the spring if I use it for Turkeys, and then scattered sessions over the summer getting ready for the season.

I shoot my trad bows much more often. Some weeks I will get in 5-6 sessions, busy weeks maybe 2-3. I will also shoot my trad bow over the winter in the basement just to work on release and muscle conditioning.

I went to the Allen Iverson school of bowhunting.

Shooting more than twice a month, to me, is a waste of valuable scouting time. I've been shooting bow for the better part of 20 years. I know how to do it. I don't need to practice.
