Off season shooting

How many guys shoot there bows all year long and if so what do you shoot. I shoot all year long I shoot 3-d and i shoot some indoors with some buddys

Yeah, same here but now i'll concentrate on learning to shoot my recurve bow.

I shoot 3-D and alot at home and at buddies houses

Well here at the Volways household shoot our bows have been out of the question. LOL hope to get healed up soon so we can.

I take a little time off after season, maybe 8 weeks and then start back up shooting indoors and getting ready for the 3D set. Once it warms up I shoot most days either at the range or in the back yard

I usually take time off to. I'll start shooting again after turkey season. I shot a couple of 3D shoots and had a blast, so I plan on shooting atleast a few this year. Other than that TG and a few others shoot over his house a few times a week. I hope to shoot alot this summer with my son Hunter. We are going tomorrow (hopefully) to go get him a Diamond Nuclear Ice. That little thing is sweet, so I hope he likes it and starts to shoot with us alot this year.

Good deal on getting your son a bow. I have seen that bow myself and it is great. You'll have to post some pics of him shooting it.

I take some time off after the season and aroung turkey season I will start getting myself back in tune to hit the 3D courses...

Great to get the family involved.

Just took the lil man to the archery shop to shoot the Diamond Nuclear Ice. He loved it so we ordered him one, all they had were 2 pink ones. I tried to talk him into getting one of the pink ones but he wasn't having it. We let him use a wrist strap release and it seemed to really help him so we picked him up a TRU Ball release to. He has a little trouble pulling the bow back with the release but he will get used to it. It will be in in about 2 weeks so I will post some pics of Hunter with his new rig when it comes in.

Congrat's CA, that's really cool. Can't wait to see picts.

That will be awesome for you to pass your passion on to your son. Can't wait to see the smile on his face when he is holding that new bow!

Yeah it will take him a little while to get use to the release but just get him to pull with his whole arm,the strap (if its tight enough) want come over his hand,It will be alot easier for him .Can't wait to see some pics of the little man slinging some arrows. OH YEAH tell him not to be scared to shoot a pink one.LOL

I am the same as CA, take some time off then get back at it after turkey season. I am looking forward to shooting with his little man this year. It should be a lot of fun. We will most likely spend more time looking for arrows than shooting but that is how he will learn and we all have been there!!!

I shoot all year round during deer season I'm strictly 3d and in the off time I still do alot of 3d shooting and I shoot in a competative 300 league.

I like to shoot as much as I can. But this time of year with the weather and not many close places to shoot indoors I dont get much of a chance.

I shoot @ home and at my local archery shop, don't like to lay off the bow for too long then you pay for it later.......

What off season?
August- December, Archery season in Colorado
January-February, indoor season
March-July, 3D season

Have a few bags I shoot all year, but I've been wanting to get into 3D for a long time.

You'll love it!

During the winter months, I shoot a 5 spot league. Spring comes around and I try to hit a few 3D shoots with my son. The summer months are spent getting ready for the fall!!

I try to shoot a bunch of 3D during the spring and during the winter, I shoot in a 5 spot league.

I used to shoot everyday but I havent done that in a few years. I am gonna shoot a good bit this summer though cause I'm trying to get good with my longbow. I'll shoot my compounds a good bit as well. I am working back up to 80# again.

I shoot all year 'round, 3D's and backyard practice all season long. I also have access to some pretty respectable indoor ranges as well, including a Techno Shoot video system. I have never considered shooting a chore.... it's still just plain FUN to launch arrows and continue to challenge myself.
