Answers:
Right now nearly every day
One -two dozen at a time.
Bow hand steadiness and follow through. My release is getting better every day.
Try to get in a morning session, then a sundown session when I can.
Outdoors only.
Practicing at ranges between 10 and 20 yards right now. Just started shooting again recently. Never have been good much past 25.
Have never been lucky enough to get a shot at an animal in my comfort range. Had a chance I later paced off at 28 yards or so on an antelope. I only felt confident to 20 so passed on the shot.
Don't hunt from above, will likely pass on any shot other than quartering away or broadside, so those are pretty standard vital shots on deer.
MCH, thanks for starting this one.
