how many arrows do you shoot a week?

[cardsfan]

Hey everybody, been a member since Jan. (first post) learned a lot from all the other posts though. My question is how many arrows approx. does everyone shoot in a weeks time and do you think you can over do it?

[habujohn]

I feel good when I can shoot twenty five a day and I try to shoot every day.  However I learned long ago that if I start making errors in form I stop and put the bow down.

[Stumpkiller]

100 to 120.

[Jayrod]

Couple dozen a day and try to make em all count and work on form holding the bow at anchor and having good concentration seems to.work for me too many and ya tend to get sloppy

[Drewster]

Probably 200 a week......and yes, you can overdo it if your body isn't in shape for shooting. Build up slowly and give your body a rest day once in a while.

[cardsfan]

Thanks for the advice looks like I might be over doing it...not easy to stop when you love shooting as much as I do.

[jmrsyrs]

About 300 per week - easy does it to start or your form will suffer.

This is when it's good to have a lighter weight bow for practice and training that is built in the same or similar style to your heavier bow(s).  I start out with 40 a day on my 48# bow, usually on 4-6 days per week.

Once I'm feeling ready, I will take my two 58-pounders out for some limited stumping, but I hold off on longer sessions until I'm feeling well tuned in the back muscles.

I know I'm doing it right when I can feel the effect on the back muscles immediately after a practice session, but there's no pain anywhere from my fingertips back through my arm and shoulder to my back.

This winter hardly any, couldn't really get into the backyard, and the club was out of the question. Other than these unusual circumstances, about 100-150 arrows a week.

Well, I try to shoot every day. On bad weather
days I shoot indoors. As far as how many
arrows it varies, it want good form and
release. So in a weeks time I get a few
dz arrows the rest are what I call
WHAT THE HECK

[Steve Jr]

I would say 100-150 a week unless I can make it to a 3D shoot or go out stumping

I used to shoot 50 to 100 shots a day and did for many years but later realized towards the end od the session my shots were getting sloppy so now I shoot a couple of dozen when I shoot.
Once you get your form down and your muscle memory developed it only takes a few shots a day to keep in shape, both physically and mentally.

At least 200 a week

[Cootling]

Man, you guys have a lot of arrows.

I only shoot 3 or 4, but I usually shoot them several times.

I don't know exactly how many arrows I shoot per week. When I shoot, I try to execute every shot without a form break-down, as we all do. I shoot each session until I begin to feel fatigued. In the winter, I might only shoot for 30 minutes. During the summer, maybe an hour.

[elkslayer4x5]

Around 50 shots a day, so about 350.  

[joe ashton]

I try to shoot daily,, maybe 24 or so but I  always strive to  shoot quality arrows not quantity.  I'll shoot a few do something else. You know like go to work or iron or what ever then shoot a few more.       If I start falling apart I stop..  I do  not want to practice poor habits.

[Cyclic-Rivers]

I usually shoot anywhere between 0 and 300 shots per week.  all  depends on the week and how stressful my day was.

If I come home from work too stressed out, I will not only develop bad habits but also holes in walls.

[JB74nola]

I try to shoot 20-50 arrows a day with an occasional day off.

[Pointer]

Maybe 30-40 a day 4 days or so a week..more as the season gets closer
