Wondering what folks think is “enough” practice to stay a reasonably proficient shooter. I’ve had times where I was able and motivated to shoot every week, and other times where I really struggled to shoot monthly. Personally I think there are elements of shooting that are akin to a muscle and need to be worked regularly to stay in shape. I think my wind calls are one area where I lose my feel for it fairly quickly, maybe because I never really have enough opportunity to work that aspect. Certainly I lose other parts like trigger control, being able to quickly and naturally find a position that utilizes my natural point of aim for a given target, but in many cases I can get back to a reasonable point without too much trouble.
So what do you say—how frequently do you need to practice shooting to stay in top form? How about to stay “pretty good”? For those who dont manage to shoot as much as they’d like, do you have specific things you do to try to stay as practiced as possible?
(Also the question is intentionally general, so dont ask “enough for what”. Hoping to hear what it takes to be enough for you and what that means)
