Default backyard bow ranges....

just wonderin' how many of y'all have ranges set up in your yard...i just started remodeling mine...i just have to add my treestands and i'll be good to go...it's awesome to be able to walk out back and sling some arrows...it definitely decreases my stress level...3 more weeks and i'll be going after the real thing...turkey season starts.

if y'all don't have backyard ranges then how do y'all practice?

Not really a backyard range per se. I have a bag target and set it at various distances. Sometimes I set my stand up and shoot from there. Sometimes I shoot from the deck. Sometimes I set it up in the woods. Usually, though....I set it out and walk around and shoot it.

I have a small patch of woods between the pond and the backyard. I bought an extra ladder stand, a few targets at various ranges and I have a pretty realistic hunting practice range.

Well lets see, since the wife left and sold the house, no place for a back yard range. [&:]Luckily, there is a range a couple miles away..... and there is one on post that I can go to at lunch time!
