Everything is legal in TX isn't it? Sorry, can't help you other than check your local ordinances. Do a Google or Yahoo search on your hometown/city.

Thirty-some-odd years ago, I used to go over to the elementary school and shoot. Had a couple of hay bales and a big hillside as a backdrop -- used to shoot from left field of the baseball field up against the hill.

My, how times have changed!

My ordinace specifically states NO BOW AND ARROW. Further investigation revealed that HUNTING of any kind os forbidden. So if a deer walks into my back yard, I cant stick him?!?!?!?!?!?![:@]

I am glad that you brought up this issue as I had not thought about it before. Our town ordinance merely states:
ยง 94.22 SPORTS.
It shall be unlawful for any person to drive golf balls, fly motor planes, throw objects, practice archery or shooting, or to participate in other activities which are hazardous to others in any park or on any property owned, operated or controlled by the town; provided, the Town Council may set aside and designate places and specify the times and regulations for engaging in such activities.

I have sent an email to the town marshall asking him for clarification and/or any other ordinance that I may have missed.

Alot, time for me to move further out. I moved here in 2000 and I can't believe how much it has changed since then.

Thanks for everyone's reply. I contacted the city of keller police and was told that it is okay to practice in my backyard. Yeah. He also gave me a website that might be helpful to others. www.municode.com

I also have the officers name just incase someone complains and another officer tries to give me a citation
