AZHUNTER05 Report post Posted July 1, 2012 You are shooting quite a bit more then most people. I shoot 2 to 3 times a week and shoot a lot when i practice. Most people dust their bows off the week before their hunt and only practice a few times before they go. I shoot year round at ben avery even during the summer. I'm normally the only one out there until august hits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tommat Report post Posted July 1, 2012 Up till now, 3 X a week. about 3 or 4 dozen a session. But now it's July and I have bout 10 weeks till Elk. Gonna pick up the pace. It also helps that I have some acreage so I just step out the garage door and can shoot multiple ranges, as close or far as I want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twigsnapper Report post Posted July 2, 2012 3-4X a week. At least 40-50 shots depending on how many I can get in before the heat or the lack of light sends me in the house Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BASS Report post Posted July 4, 2012 I was shooting my recurve since January off and on, then when I got my assasin I went to every day. Just in the backyard, so 25-30 yards tops. Then on Saturday I have been hitting Usery to shoot the further distances and trying my hand at the bag targets. I'm now down to jus two arrows so I'll need to hit a shop and get the others refletched this week. Sun-Wedness day I bet I shoot only twenty or so times, and end with the last four or so shots being held for thrity seconds or so before shooting. Since I work at nights, I'm out back around two or three in the afternoon, the heat isn't all that bad. At Usery I always seem to over do it, and shoot well past fatigue and pay for it for the next few days when I wake up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AntlerObsession Report post Posted July 7, 2012 I am lucky enough to have an archery range/3d course 4 minutes from my house. I go 2-3 a week, but I at least make sure to do reps pulling the bow back and holding it. I also try to mix in some possible scenarios by getting my heart rate/breathing up by running a minute or 2, and then taking some shots. It helps me to know how long my recovery is should I be hiking in the hills or stalking in and need to be able to shoot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
