iv been noticing that my 1st 5 shots are usually the best. so my current method has been to pin a small balloon 3-4" or so on the target and when it pops.... im done. some times it takes 1 shot,sometimes 7or8 depending on my ability to concentrate at that particular moment in time.

I enjoy shooting at things like balloons, playing cards, magazine pictures of deer, just about anything to make me pick a spot and have fun with.

When you first start shooting after a period of abstinence you need to grow more callous on your fingers. Until then try some athletic tape on the fingers under the glove. Gary

Guys thanks alot, I ordered a 3-Fingers Under Cordovan Tab tab to try that out. See if that helps if not a Big Shot Buffalo Glove. Also I am going to check my form and fingers on the string. I am going to try stump shooting that sounds like fun. It will be hard to find a place to do that in Miami,Fl but I will find a place. I think I will be trying to shoot around 30 arrows a few times a week.

if im getting physically tired or i can tell im getting sloppy i generally stop. That being said I think there is definately advantages to 1 shot sessions

After an hour or so of constant shooting IMHO you will lose good form and finger control(will make for a sloppy hold)Take time to shoot a few well conducted shots(12-24 arrows) and go in till the next day.And a good glove will do wonders for your fingers.

I'm a 3 under guy too. Have used a Neet pinch free tab for years. First arrow is the one that matters. Rest is to practice form. Usually shoot a dozen or so take a break then go for more. Can't shoot enough! Brain usually numb before fingers!
Other things being equal, it is the man who
shoots with his heart in his bow that hits the mark.

For an Archer, to release an arrow is to release a part
of himself.
