What distance do you practice shooting from the most and on average what is your group size and how often do you practice? Thanks

I practice from a little more than 20 yards though I do mix in longer and shorter shots.... My groups on a good day are probably around plate size but I'm not that good of shooter.... This summer I have practiced about an hour a day an have improved my form and groupings dramatically, though I am still working on improving.

I normally practice from 15, 20, 25, and 30 yards. I like to spend 15 minutes at each yardage. After this I'll work on some unknown yardage to practice my yardage estimation skills. My groups are very good at 15-20 yards, pretty good at 25 yards, and lets just say a bit inconsistant at 30 yards.

I spent years standing at 20 yds shooting blunt arrows at an archery net just to help get my form and release down consistent. Nowadays I do most of my shooting practice by roving or stump shooting. Like others posting before me it helps with yardage estimation, compensation for uneven terrain, and duplicates hunting scenarios much better than range shooting.
I still go back to the net from time to time just for the sheer joy of loosing an arrow.

Oh yeah, I shoot 3 days a week.
