WNY-Hunter Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 How often do you shoot your bow, even after sighting in and shooting bulls regularly? I still shoot 1-9 shots a day, generally 1 shot at a time. Trying to make the first shot count. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Darling Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 As often as I can. Right now, it's a few times a week. I'm also trying to make the first shot count.I'm all thumbs when using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moog5050 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I probably average 300 arrows a week all off season but I actually start cutting down my arrows as season approaches. No more tinkering with form or tune. 5-6 arrows a day is all I need. Make em count. Once season starts, just a couple arrows on days I am not hunting and hopefully one bloody arrow on days I am. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hock3y24 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 2-5 arrows a day, broadheads only now. taking breaks between each arrow, sometimes holding the bow back for around a minute. Sometimes ill draw, hold back, let down, draw,then shoot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Once a day ....... 24 shots (average). I have had other years when I shot so much that I would begin to shoot fatigued. That just made bad things happen, and then trained in form and shooting errors. So now I shoot just enough to keep the shooting muscles in shape and then quit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckmaster7600 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 This time of year 1-2 arrows a day. The rest of the year I average 150-200 arrows a week.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LET EM GROW Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Whenever i get a chance, even if its multiple times a day. The last 2 or 3 years i probably only got to shoot a half a dozen times before season. Which sucks, i love shooting my bow lol. So therefore ill shoot quick at 20ish to make sure i'm still good, then move right out to long range and shoot there as often as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Core Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Few times/week but some of these will be in the basement and it's only 14 yards. I think it's valuable, but if I had a target in the backyard I could legally shoot I would be out there daily in the run up to hunting season. There are some public wetlands half a mile from my house that nobody ever uses and I may start dragging a target and my bow out there for some stuff when I don't want to visit the range. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApexerER Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 No where near as often as I would like.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) Id say I shot maybe 150 arrows this year . I'll keep shooting a few here and there all season , always shoot one arrow (FP) from stand . Oh I've shot a few in the past , when your string guard looks like this you've shot a couple arrows..

LetEmGrow Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Every day. Sometimes more than others. Tough when it has been as hot as it is but still got out there. Most important thing is to shoot a couple arrows every day through season with longer shooting sessions mixed in on warmer days. Stay tuned up.

The_Real_TCIII Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I work from home so I'll pop out a few times a day and let 6-9 arrows fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grampy Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I'm up to five arrows every other day. Always try to make that first one go where I want. For decades I shot year round. Then old age came along. I'll take what I can now.............smile. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbHunterNY Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 varies depending on free time i have. i try to shoot every week to keep muscles toned and mind from getting rusty on the release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genesee_mohican Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 A few arrows daily and try to pick it up during the season, making shots more realistic, so I'll shoot with hunting garb on, from sitting, bending, twisting, off my roof ect.

monahmat Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I'm trying to take 5 shots every morning before work from a practice stand I have setup in the yard. Now that the temps are back to normal I'll start wearing hunting jacket as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
