30 mins or so, no more unless I shooting with someone and we are going slow.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

If it's been a long time since shooting, I will shoot about 6 arrows 3-4 times throughout the day for about a week, then move it up to 12 shots 3-4 times a day for about a week, then I'm pretty good to shoot till I get bored
If you want to always win, never play anyone better than you!

Sometimes I shoot 15-20 times in a evening but I feel like I get more out of shooting one shot at a random distance. I also sit on a piece of fire wood like im shooting from a blind.

Bob Sheppard's book recommends only a single arrow per session. His reasoning is that when you shoot a deer it'll be your first shot. My point exactly....

Once you have your bow zoned in and you are comfortable shooting, it's the first that counts. If that one is crappy you better practice longer.

I shoot between 30 minutes to an hour and half every day. Just depends on whether I'm working that day or not.

I don't really practice for a set amount of time, I guess it takes me 30 minutes to do, but I shoot 5 arrow rounds. I like to shoot 2 sets at 30 yards than 2 sets at 40 yards and 1set at 50 yards.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

How many arrows do yall practice with? For me usually 2 is the max. I only have 3 arrows right now, so 3. Danged things are expensive.

I usually try to shoot 5-10 times at most, and just do it very often. Really, it's that first one that counts anyway, if you're practicing like a real-world hunting situation. a "cold shot", if you like.
