Do you have a long hallway, or an area inside your house you can make into a shooting lane? I know this sounds crazy, but if done right, with safety in mind, it's a great way to shoot every single day with no excuses for weather or being too busy.

If I stand in the far corner of my dining room, there's a 20 yard shot to the far corner of my living room. I lean a piece of plywood against the wall to protect it, set a 22 inch Block target in front of it and pluck away.

For safety, I ALWAYS make sure:

-Nobody is in the house and the doors are locked so nobody walks in
-If there is somebody in the house, I make sure they know I'm shooting
-I NEVER DO THIS WITH KIDS AROUND!!!!
-I Know what's on the other side of the wall I'm shooting at!!!

If you miss, it takes 2 seconds with a putty knife and some drywall mud to patch the hole.

I don't have a wife... and when I do get married, it'll be to a woman that doesn't mind me shooting in the house.
