RE: Backyard Ranges, or any Ranges?
Thought I would bump this thread up, it's been a while so let's see where you guys are practicing for the upcoming season.
I just built a really nice target setup at my camp in PA. Got the bag for free from the local club I belong to, it's a leftover from the ones they used last year at the practice butts. Bought a $20 replacement cover for it, built the stand, dragged over my 3D target, and also have a yellow jacket block for broadheads too. It's almost 50 yards exactly from my cabin and if I back up to the road I can get 80 yards.........
.
It's not much, but it's all mine. I have dibs on about 6 of the 3D targets from the club this year too, they are shot up pretty good but I plan to buy replacement midsections for them and then I will have a nice setup at camp for practice.

I shoot indoors about 2 miles from the house.......3X a week, on average. Outdoors......I just sold my ladder stand to my neighbor (young army private). We'll set up Mitch's old climber and leave it there to practice with until the season starts.
Next couple of photos of these described above.....including one of buck master 101 shooting at our indoor range with me last week.

Rob, Love the Cabin and the Yard!!! Very Nice!!!
Well as close as I get to shooting in my backyard(where I can get 17ydsmax) is a place 6-1/2 minutes awaycalled Esengard's with an Outdoor Range.
Here's the very beggining just for tuneups before hitting the range:
And the course through the woods with 29 targetsof different types along the trail(green box in upper right is aerial view of the first picture):
...and a view along the trail the above aerial photo does no justice to:
What I like the most about shooting here is how the targets will seem to all of the sudden be there and it makes you freeze in your tracks!
I know where they all are and it still happens to me sometimes.
It's fun to shoot under those conditions...I Love It!
Get's the heart pumping almost like the real thing

Here's me in the tree
A view to my target
Close up..
Didn't get a picture of it, but off to my right is a more wooded area that I can hide targets in. I really have a loving wife. She spent most of the morning running that target to various places in the yard. She said she needed some excercise!
