What is there to do. I have not adjusted my bow in 5 years. I typically shoot it 3 or 4 times the day before I hunt. I just never understand why people shoot so many practice shots. I do this as well. I use to shoot a lot, but I would over think and really try to fine tune and in the end I was backing up. I agree with ya.

Not judging anyone...but I HATE to wound an animal and yet I've still done it on a few ocassions. However, I shoot often and under duress, from many different angles, distances, and try to simulate the stress and environment of a shot in the field. You ever try to pull your bow after running 2-3 miles and doing 5 sets of Max push ups? It'll stress you to make an accurate shot after that work out. Anyway, I said all that to say that I feel I owe it to the animal to make a quick ethical kill. 500 shots would be a very slow month for me. I guess that's why I go through so many bow strings. I must be a Super IDOT.

Just cause I don't practice much does not mean I wound deer. Just like a rifle I check them before the season by shooting 3 or 4 shots then it is game time.

I shoot pretty much year around. But that's because I just enjoy shooting.

The muscle memory you build through practice repetition with a bow is wholly different than putting a rifle on the bench, pulling the trigger 3-4 times and making sure the scope is on.
To each his own, though.
