RE: How often do you practice?
 

I shot 12-15 shots every other day or so. Remember it' s quality not quantity. When on stand - it' s that 1st shot that' s important.

I used to shoot a lot (but not everyday) until tendonitis set it. Be careful and beware of shooting too much with radical cams. Now I have to ice my shoulder after every session and my shoulder reminds of it 24-7.

I throw arrows once a week until August. Then I go every 3rd day or so....By Sept 1st I' ll be going every other day until Sept 15th (opening of small game here in Michigan) Then I' ll go every day as the weather permits. I usuallly only throw about 25 arrows each time. I have a 5-spot target and put 1 arrow at each spot, retrieve ' em and do it again 4 more times.

Great point, especially for me these days.

I have a 20yd. target in my shop and at home that I hit on 3X a week.My buddies and I shoot a lest one 3-D shoot a week.We also have targets set-up for 30-40-50yds.I try to keep it around 30-40 arrows at a time when just doing targets.

RE: How often do you practice?
 

I find the same thing. I usually try to get out once a week in the off season, then 2 or 3 times a week for the month before the season begins, then once the season is in full swing, im back to once a week. That is always on Sun. since in VA, you can' t hunt on Sun. and the rest of the week, instead of practicing, I hunt.

i spose i shoot close to 100 arrows a week.... usually 3 or 4 days of shooting... sometimes with my lil cuz...we helo each other with our form... and i' ve noticed also that if i shoot too many my groups and accuracy really start to get bad...

RE: How often do you practice?
 

I don' t see the need for a guy to " practice" much with a compound bow. Traditional equipment is a different story. But unless you are a tournament shooter or just love to shoot, I don' t see the need for hunting. When the season ends on December 31, I hang my bow up and don' t pick it up again until around August and then I shoot a couple times a week until October 1st, and then I hunt. Hunting is what gets the meat and the horns. As long as I' m grouping well at 20 yards consistently, I' m good. I do shoot a couple 3d' s in September as well.

RE: How often do you practice?
 

I kinda agree with you wolfen. I shoot a compound, though it' s without sights. When I shoot at deer or turkey, it happens so fast, and I know the shot will be good. Since I don' t shoot past 30 yards or so, practice isn' t really neccessary, but I love to shoot my bow.

RE: How often do you practice?
 

Every day at this time of the year. My 1st year bow hunting, I need all the practice I can get.
