There just aren't enough hours in the day/week ...! I agree with disbloke that quality not necessarily quantity is more important. I shoot between 200-400 on the day that I have designated a training day simply for stamina training. But ... I am very careful not to injure myself as it could be a clear danger.
How many people injure themselves at a specific sport, and then, when they return to the sport, expect to start where they left off? Just chucking arrows without either proper preparation or with no specific training aim in mind can be dangerous territory.
On other days I simply sometimes "blind boss" or shoot with other ends in mind. In total I probably shoot 5-600 arrows a week.
Frangilli suggests shooting rounds as a discipline. I have, almost since I first started archery, used Target Plot software, and record rounds on this when I shoot. On other occasions I work at grouping or at the mental side of the game. It gives me more satisfation measuring how well or badly I am shooting than simply blasting off arrows at speed.
