How many arrows do you shoot a week?

[LineCutter]

I've been trying to get some technique practice in in time for the first competition of the year. Currently that means 6-7 dozen arrows per night. Mostly I manage less, so I wondered what is "normal"?

It totally depends on whether womble is ill or well - usually not many arrows each night for me

I try to get as many in, per day as possible. Usually 7 or 8 dozen a day. I try to vary my shooting as much as I can, starting off with my recurve & moving onto the flatbow, then back to the recurve to finish off. It's amazing how much easier it is with my recurve (40#) after shooting the flatbow! (70#+ )

Voted 12-24, though this week I've been resting due to injury. The key is not so much how many arrows you shoot as to shooting the arrows you do shoot properly every time and not just chucking arrows at a target.

The other thing to take in to consideration is do you actually keep track of the number of arrows you shoot or are you guessing. Personally I always use a click counter.

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.

try and do at least 150 arrows a day.

I attempt to get in 50-60 dozen a week, but this isn't always possible. Last week, for instance, I only managed to get in about 25 dozen because of the bad weather.

as many or as few as I feel like, some times none.

Around 600 a week usually. (50 dozen)

Obviously I need to do more.

Given the chance, or what I'm restricted to?

I'll try to get at least a National in (stretched to a Western if circumstances allow!) at each session, which would be two or three evenings and one morning per week - unless I'm in 'tuning' mode, in which case totally random.
