Ditto on the checking your ordinances and shooting toward the house. I also moved from bordering a ranch to a paved neighborhood and had to figure out what to do.(Worst thing is how fat the dog got ).

In our bow safety course, they read the regs; theystate no discharging of "projectiles" within Billings city limits. So I am pretty sure shooting arrows is breaking thelaw, just like I do when I drive 76 mph on the interstate.

I made my house a glancing backstop because there was no direct line to the house that was 20 yds. I have a target and 4x8 plywood as a backstop. Haven't missed the plywood yet (except when I hit the target ). I also told all my neighbors and showed them our shooting angle.

I also have a friend that shoots into his garage from his driveway. His neighbors don't mind at all, but that's way too visible for me.
