When do you find time to shoot?

Basement range of 15 yards helps me a lot.I also have been blessed by living close to my club and an archery shop with ondoor range.

[snag]

I do a bible study, eat, get ready for work, then go out and shoot about a doz. arrows. Then sometimes for lunch I will spend it at the local archery shop shooting.

Shawn you must not be married or she is very understanding!!!  lol

[Patience]

Shoot when I get the chance, even if only for 15 min. I have a target set up close to my house so my pourch light casts enough to see when it's dark. When time offers, I do a little stumping and chasing the tennis balls around my yard.

I have a flood light on my target and can shoot almost any time here in Cal.  Lately I have been working long days so I am too whipped to have good form and so today was the first time since Saturday I have shot; and I have a new bow calling out to me.

I am working on a project that will keep our sons from getting blown up in the sand lands, so if I miss shooting for a while it is small potatoes compared to what a GI is going through.

[Shawn Leonard]

I am married, have been for 21 years and have three girls. My oldest married an archer and I have converted him to Trad. They just bought a big house and can get 19 yards in their basement, they live close by and we shoot there as well. I did break the blender once when an arrow went thru a bag target sitting on a counter in the kitchen, cracked it, I never said a word. She found out real quick when she went to make Marguiritas about a week later!     Shawn

Curtis <----------<<<<<< Wants to be more like Dean!!!  LOL

Quit work??? How do you buy new bows to shoot???

[Bonebuster]

Like Shawn said, sometimes you have to make time and make do.

Not to brag, but I'm a firefighter who only works 10 24hr days a month. So I have to find things to do to keep me out of trouble.

[Ausable]

I shoot most every night in the garage, 12 yard shot.

[ZaneD]

Doeslayer, you need someone to help keep you out of trouble. But that's a full-time job.    

Hey Vic

[Hood]

I've been in similar situations with work. What I found to work for me was to keep a routine.

I keep the bow ready, easy to get to, and try to shoot at the same time every day.

Good Luck, Robert

i've worked 12 hour swingshifts for 15 years,and farmed in my "spare" time. Its tough. Don't practice near enough, and my accuracy proves it.I get most of my shooting by committing to 3-d shoots as much as possible.
Also have a 15 yard range inmy basement.

[Leon.R]

I am at work now doing some printing for overtime, the whole industrial estate is empty...
Took an old bag and filled it with used shrinkwrap, hung it out in the parking lot so I have my own little range.(up to 100 yards if I want but I stick to 20-30)
Inbetween laoding machines I go out and shoot 3x5 arrows and come in and tend the machines, and I get paid overtime for that...
Here at 17 yards, give or take...

[LV2HUNT]

I shoot every other day. Either in my basement 13 yds or preferably at the outdoor range. I have to get up an hour earlier to hit the range before work.
