does climbing on top of the house qualify, and my wife pulls the arrows out and throws them back up to me. really does help though

As long as your wife is throwing the arrows TO you, not AT you, you should be fine.
I'd probably be doing the same things you guys are doing, but I don't have any trees in my back yard and I don't want to damage my shingles. Guess I could shoot from a ladder, though... It'll have to wait until after turkey season, though. Still have one more weekend to go...
