How much do you practice?

[lockmaster]

We should all practice "to keep from getting rusty". How many hours do you spend per week on average practicing with your bow?

[BT]

I will take the exception of stupid cold weather like we are having now

From Dec. through march I generally do an hour a day depending on the weather,maybe more.

From April through October rain does not matter.
I normally do 3-5 hours each day.
(with the aid of a lighted range)

During deer season (Oct.-Nov.) I probably only get an hour a day on average.

I usually weather depending on it, try to practice at least 2-3 times a week for anywhere between 30min to an hr each session. In the winter time when the Montana winters get kinda cold it goes on the back burner. I usually start shooting from end of march(Break up) till it gets too cold out side in Oct/Nov. I try to spend a hr or so every other day shooting. It all kinda varies on how good the Trout are biting ;)and events happening in my town or the heat also in the summer. I am very lucky in that the summer months it is daylight till almost 10-11pm so I have gone out at 9 pm many nights after it cooled down.I probably don't practice as much as i want too , but thank God I practice more than some people that just pick up a bow 3 weeks before season and think they are ready. We'll thats all for now time to go out and Practice

Not enough.

Depends on the time of year for me. Right now I might get out once or twice a week. But come July, August, and September, I'll be out at least 5 times a week and usually 100-250 shots a session. Late in September, I'll just do a dozen or two a day. I try to take a lot of time between shots when it gets a week or two before season working mainly on stealth, form, arrow placement, yardage estimation, and concentration in a one shot scenario.

My vote was 1/2 to 1 hr a week. This is true through the cold months but will incerease to up wards of 5 hrs regularly and more on some weeks in the spring and summer to get set for the hunting season in the fall.

[T-Panic]

I try and shoot at least an hour or more a day. If its crappy weather i also still shoot, wind,rain snow, heat its all stuff you can incounter while hunting. Plus as my work premits I try to go to the 3D shoots as much as possible.

[tautog]

NEVER enough practice for me. I love to shoot, and love to hunt. That works out pretty well.

6-8 seems about right. Sometimes alot more somethimes a bit less. Quite a bit less during deer season. I take a few shots after a morning hunt a couple of times a week. I know that is the time of year I should be shooting the most but If it's light out I'm hunting or at work and if it's dark I'm in bed. Thats how I live for 2.5 months of the year.
