RE: Backyard Ranges, or any Ranges?
Here is my Byard range, not too high tech..... but it lets me shoot any time I want. 15-25yds, move around and I can shoot through the branches of my little apple tree.

The target is an old 'gas pig', used to clean the gas pipelines. Also I just installed a WB and need to sight in..... a little left and down, I think.

I can shoot 14 yards in the basement but didnt think it was worth posting a picture of my cluttered cellar.
For longer range practice i drive about 10 mins to Mechanicsburg Sportsmans club. Targets from 10-70ish yards in 5 yrd increments and i think 4 3d ranges

The ladder leads to an old summit climber I have rachet strapped to the tree.
The bag is twenty two yards here. I moved it out to thirty three later.
The block is about twenty one,
The deer is right at twenty yards.
I will be moving them around to vary the distances and give me harder shots with small openings.

RE: Backyard Ranges, or any Ranges?
My dad and I just built a platform stand last year to shoot from. You know your a redneck when you tear your back deck off the house to use the lumber to build a shooting platform. 
The first platform is about 10 x 10 and 10' off the ground and has a flight of steps leading up to it. Then from there, there is a second flight of steps that leads to the second platform which is 20' up. Of course it comes fully equiped with arrow holders, a safety railing and pulley system so those shooting on the ground can pull the arrows and send them to the top without the need to walk down. I also got lucky and found a sale where a sportsmans club was selling ALL of their McKenzie targets at 20 bucks each. (and they were only used once!) I grabbed a leopard, ram, mt. lion, whitetail and bear. 5 targets for 100 bucks, can't beat it. I'll have to get a pic to post.
