Dan,

Thinking about shooting lots of arrows each practice session got me thinking about my setup etc.  I go through a mental checklist of about 9-10 things each time I shoot an arrow.  Consequently, I am only shooting about 3 to 4 arrows per minute.  This translates into about 140 shots per hour or less when you include time to retrieve the arrows.  I have shot a lot of 3D competitions this year but would like to get into some Olympic/FITA style events.  Would it be more beneficial to tweak my routine so I shoot more quickly or just leave things as they are?

 Also, I am shooting about 8 arrows per end during practice.  Do you suggest using more arrows so I don't have to retrieve them as often?  The only problem is the target gets cluttered if i use too many arrows.

Regards,
Dave (HikinOut)
