A typical shooting session during a summer evening will be around 150-200 shots. On a weekend I might shoot 400 or so.

George, I don't start flinging 'til around 401 so I stop there.  ;)

Let's see.  If I cyphered this rightly... a fast shooter will shoot one every 10-15 seconds or so.  Most don't.  At 15 seconds per, there are 4 shot per minute.  1,000 divided by 4 is 250 so it takes 250 minutes to launch all the arrows.

250 divided by 60 (minutes) is 4.1666 (hours) of constant shooting at the rate of 4 per minute.   That time does not include walking down to the target (and back) to collect your arrows.

I shoot a lot in my basement but I guess I don't shoot 1,000 a day.  I better stick with " lost track at 25".

I normally shoot about 1 or 2 dozen a day.

I only shoot a 43 lb bow and I was flat worn out after shooting about 200-300 arrows at a Geauga Bowman's shoot 2 years ago. It took us all day to get to that point, with lunch and dinner in there somewhere too. We shot until near dark that day!

Some of you all must be way more committed than me.

1 arrow @ a time, no more then 50 a day! I start getting sloppy and not concentrating. I've noticed my first 4 or 5 tend to be the best ones.

I keep written records of my scheduled practices at home. I also use a counter. I usually shoot between 100 to 150 (and when you concentrate on each shot that is a lot).

When I practice outside or stump shoot I don't count but probably only rarely go over that.

Quality is more important than quantity, that being said, some might think that I am shooting too much.
May your next adventure lighten your heart, test your spirit, and nourish your soul.

I haven't kept count, but it was probably the day I almost ruined my shoulder and couldn't shoot at all for a month. Marathoning is not a good idea. At the time I was shooting a hundred or so a day.

I usually shoot four arrows. Five fit in my Selway, but four seems like enough.

I shoot these same four arrows over and over. I don't think I want to lug around hundreds of arrows.

If you hit the target, one is enough.

Don't know truly?? definantly not over 1000? that is awesome!

I go till I fell myself giving out a little and I am not holding liek I should, form is failing. Then I feel it is ime to slack off.

Not very many, but I always shoot one at a time to prevent all the robinhood's.
