How many hours a week

hi folks just interested to learn how many hours a week we practice,with me its approx 8-10 hours spread over 4 days.
I honestly believe that too much practice can have a harmfull effect on shooting form,as because we are all only human if you practice to an extreme then you are shooting whilst getting weaker as muscles tire and that cant be a good thing.
Have you found that more and more practice results in higher scores or that even with the heavier workload that your scores have remained with the odd exception relatively the same.
I shoot recurve myself and there is a point in practice when you feel those muscles starting to tingle and its time to call it a day.
Even metally we all start to tire after a certain time and there is no way that the concentration remains at peak level the whole way through a practice session.
So lets hear how much you practice and maintain strength and concentration levels.
Also lets hear if have ever increased practice levels dramaticaly only to find that it hasnt had a dramatic effect on your scores.
