Not that you aren't a top notch champion pro archer, but something kind of struck me....

MAYBE.....MAYBE.....if your Dad doesn't want you putting yet ANOTHER hole in the house...you shouldn't be shooting in a populated area anyway.

Relax whitecloud. You shoot away. I might sugest you look for an open spot in your neighborhood if you don't feel comfortable asking granny to take a brake sunning herself or if you can't shift and shoot between the houses toward the shed. A little bit of woods, I'm sure won't attrack too much trouble.

I have a new neighbor who I haven't met yet.Tomorrow I'm planning on shooting a little trap off my deck. I'll let you know how that goes. The good thing about my situation, I'm the President of my HOA.I'm just not sure how to address myself if someone complains.

i wish i could move. but i live in an urban(i guess thats what you'd call it) area and theres houses directly behind each other. if i were to shoot between the houses, i would actually be shooting more directly toward a dif house. and there are no woods around. im limited to how i can shoot. thanks for the suggestion though.

Think platform then. Either build your self one about 12' off the ground or find an old swingset you can modify. You should be good shooting down at an angle. A friend of mine had only a postage stamp for a yard in an urban area. He did have two trees ndwas able to mount a platform between. He shot downward only out maybe ten yards at most. Beyond that was a six foot fence and the neighbors house. He did it for years without incident.

Good luck

its not good. if you're loop breaks, or your release misfires, chances are your arrow is heading right for that house. not good in my opinion
if you do it anyway, you had better really take care to have the pin on the target when drawing because things do happen.

I don't see a problem with your set up, looks similar to mine. Gotta keep your eyes open.
