I was just curious as to how much everyone shoots on average. I generally try to shoot at least 200-300 arrows a week. Only reason I don't get more time in is because I don't have enough daylight for more than a few dozen arrows after I get off work. What's yalls average?

Not As Much As I Should!  :(

I try to shoot a few dozen everyday.  However because of shooting a heavier bow recently, I am attempting to cut back to every other day or until the tendonitis subsides.  Getting older is not fun!

Mudd

Almost every day, either outside or inside or both.

It may only be a half dozen shots but I think it's important to try to get my shots in.

usually 500-600 arrows a week. I have a large back yard and shoot well into the dark with the porch light on. Range is closer, say 10 yards, 15 max but I figure its just training for low light hunting conditions.  :D

Sounds like I need to step it up. Guess I'll be buying a light. lol

I try to shoot everyday. Sometimes I shoot 50-100 arrows and other days I shoot as little as 1 or 2. Like Mudd said I thinks its important to try and shoot daily.

I try to shoot for about 15 minutes a day. I find that for me this works best. I don't really shoot alot of arrows, just one at a time, but I really focus on the whole shot process.

Pretty much everyday throughout the year.  Outside if it's nice or in the basement.  I'm not shooting as many as arrows as I use to but a solid 20 each day.

Rustic

I shoot everyday. Either inside or outside and sometimes as little as 6 arrows.

I try to shoot most days.  Probably around 20-30 arrows each time out.  Some days a lot more, just depends on my schedule for the day.

It is a rare day that I don't get 60-100 arrows in.  The weather has to be really crappy or I am out of town.  I try to keep it up throught the season too.

I try to get in 30 shots or so a day. Been having a crick in my neck for over a week now, so haven't been able to shoot.

ScottL

Sounds like some of you really put some time in. Is this target shooting or stumping or maybe a combonation of both?

casey37

I shoot about 5 times a week and between 100-200 arrows each time.

Jake Diebolt

I shoot once a week in the winter, when I only have access to a range once a week (apartment dweller).

In the summer 2-3 times per week, usually no more than 40 or 50 arrows (usually one at a time for focus.)

Almost everyday.....sometimes for 20 minutes, sometimes for an hour. On days I go stumping or to a 3-D that's winds up several hours. Anytime you get a chance is my motto!!   :archer2:

ron- I like your motto. I actually have a takedown longbow being built and plan on carrying it in my truck for any unsuspecting oppurtunities that may arrise.

I also shoot nearly every day. I'm more likely to shoot multiple times daily than not shoot at all. I work at home and have 3 ranges available: Lower level indoors, backyard, 1/4 mile 3-D trail between my son's and my house.

Sometimes I simply shoot 6-12 shots for about 10 minutes. Other times I'll shoot for 90 minutes or so.  The vast majority of my outdoor shooting these days is at 30 yards as I try to figure out a couple of things to make 20 and under as automatic as realistically possible.  The 30-yard shooting magnifies something I'm working on.

This site is the only thing that's going to keep my archery addiction fed for the next three weeks as I won't even be able to touch one of my bows.

I try to shoot everyday..

I for sure get in at least 5 days a week
