    I am just curious of how many shots a week you guys shoot.

    As a management team member for Walk On Archery targets, I want to understand better the average bowhunters practice shot count per week, month and year so that I can use this information to make sure our targets can hold up to the average bowhunter. I strive to design and help improve our targets so that our customers get the best product they can for their money. What better place to find that out than through the forum that helped get me started bowhunting and target shooting than Bowhunting.com right? I'm not looking to judge anyone on their practice regiments or criticize anyone. Just simply better understand.

    I know what I shoot but, I am not everyone and everyone is a little different.

    I typically shoot about 30 shots per practice session, once a week this time of year. I will ramp it up over the summer and into the start of the season. Probably closer to 150 per week starting about a month out of bow season opener.

    As the summer draws close, I`ll shoot a lot more. Probably 50-60 arrows a session! or until I cant feel my arm!! Practice makes perfect.

    Right now I shoot about once a week at around 40 shots per practice session.

    I will stay around 120 shots per week starting around June and continue that through the summer.

    I pick up my bow once a week and shoot 6 arrows, if all six go where I want them I put the bow down for a week, if it is bad I will shoot more arrows till I tighten it up.

    Because I got a new rig this past winter I'm still feeling like a kid with a new toy. I shoot 2 to 4 times a week. About 60 arrows a cycle at varying yardeges until I can throw a group of three into a pie plate from at least 50 yards. Sometimes I'm dialed-in with just ten shots, and sometimes after a few dozen I realise I have to come back another day.

    I enjoy shooting my bow. I shoot 4-5 times per week and 20-60 arrows per session depending on my mood. I am a bowhunter first, but I also love slinging arrows at targets :) .

    I shoot almost every day. The number of shots vary but I generally spend an hour plus or minus. I usually use 3 arrows because I use it as a bit of a work out. Draw and walk draw and walk. It isn't cardio by any means but it gets me moving around.

    I like shooting my bow. I'll shoot 20 arrows, 2-4 times a week, in my garage. If I get to the range I'll shoot about 50-60. So on average 60-100 a week. :bow:

    I'll usually do a few shots with my hunting bow in the am and then 60 from my target rig the following afternoon. I do this every other day
