MCH Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Re: Practice. On average about 5 days a week. Normally 50 shots per day at anywhere from 20-50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanH Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Re: Practice. Yea, I shoot just about everyday! Gotta keep shooting good! I hunt pigs, yotes, and Hogs year around! Gotta be able to make that perfect shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAbowhunter4life Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Re: Practice. I shoot all year round too. Even if I can't make it to the local shop with an indoor range I'll shoot the 12 yards I have in my garage. No, it's not far and not really a challenge, but it keeps my form good and keeps my muscles in shape. I am getting my new Mathews ready for turkey season. She is dead on out to 30 right now which is all the further I will shoot for turkey anyways. After the season is over, we'll work on longer yardages for deer.

buckee Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Re: Practice. I've been dieing to pull my bow out and do some practicing. I have to finish renovating this back room first though or I'll have to answer to the Boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longislandhunter Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Re: Practice. I make sure I shoot periodically during the off season, although I haven't done any shooting in the past few weeks. Maybe tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] 12 yards is not challenging enough? try shrinking your bullseyes on your targets down to "dime-size". If you can hit that everytime at 12 yards, then I'll agree that you are not being challenged enough. Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Re: Practice. Nope, not now. It just hurts too much. Not physically, it just makes me want to hunt more. I usually start in the summer when I have some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTbowman Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Re: Practice. Boy I dont know...??? Come the end of October I have about had it with archery.. LOL I shoot a ton all spring, summer and fall, I need the winter off for ice fishing. Oh yeah, gun and ML seasons too. LOL I start shooting once the snow is gone. Easier to find the ones that miss.

magnatecsteve Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Re: Practice. I shoot on the average of three days a week, except for the bitter cold months. Been stepping it up though for the up-coming 3-D season, starts in two days!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillbilly Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Re: Practice. I shoot a lot also, mostly year round. I shoot on my knees a lot, cause I'm not a big fan of treestands. But I do shoot from stands every once in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swamphunter Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Re: Practice. OK, with considering NY State winter weather, after the temps climb out of below zero to above 32 degrees and the 3 ft of snow melts, I must then wait for the 3 inches of water to leach out of my lawn and then allow the sun to dry up the mud. Once I am able to walk on it without leaving footprints where ever I step, I usually shoot once a week maybe about 25 arrows. Just before archery season I crank it up though to practicing everyday until I am absolutely confident at whatever range I plan as my furthest and a bit beyond.

py_archer Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Re: Practice. Oh yea, I shoot year round. I like to combine practice with my exercise routine. When I return from my run I'll have my bow laid out and take a few shots. With my heart rate elevated it simulates the moment of truth and forces you to concentrate on form. Try it, you'll see what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaTechHunter Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Re: Practice. I have been shooting all winter, well kind of...I have been shooting in my apartment at school, but I can only get about 15 yards away from the target. I shoot from the door at the living room into my roommate's room. Just glad I haven't missed. I have also been outside to shoot, can't wait till it gets warmer.

ThethirdI Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Re: Practice. I shoot all year round. Every other day. 20-30 arrows a session. I see a lot of you are waiting for the cold to go away. What better time to practice? If you practice in the cold then you should be able to get them in the cold. It always seems to be colder than normal in the season when I get a shot anyway.
