My backyard targets generally range from around 60 feet to about 180 feet away.;)

think about it.... when youre hunting are you going to judge the distance in feet ? probably not...probably yards;):).....you want to set your target up and shoot from different ranges(yards)....;)

When i set my targets for a practice session its measured in yards:)

Theoretically in yards....in reality it's stepped off. I don't use a rangefinder and I'm not in the habit of measuring things in woods, so I step things off whether for practice or hunting.

20 yards most of the time. I practice out to 40 some though.

20 and 30 yards, but i also have a treestand build in my backyard with a clothes line pulley and i attach the target to that, lets me shoot from 10 yards all the way out to 30.

My range is 80 yards long. I spend 75% of my time shooting from 50 to 60 yards. I love shooting at long distances. Makes the short hunting and 3D shots seem like pot shots.

I have a 3D fox I shoot out to 60, a deer that I shoot out to 80. Fun stuff once you get used to it.

Random distances (in yards) from 25 yards to 40 yards.

The distance to any target is in both feet and yards:D;) I prefer inches myself, makes it seem much farther away. Anyone can make a 15 yd shot. But tell someone you made a 540" shot and that just sounds way more impressive;)[8D]:D

Mine are footsteps. Approxamately one step equals one yard as I use this method when setting up my stand in the bush.
My targets here in the yard is a 20 yard 3-d deer target, 13 yrd black hole target ( broadheads mostly) and a 30 yrd Morrell target that I have an elk burlap target drapped over it. Bobby;)

I like to set it out to about 3 km here in Ontario Canada! it's hard to judge that distance in the woods though.......LOL

In my yard I shoot from about 10 yards to 50 yards when practicing from the ground. When I'm practicing from elevated I usually shoot from straight down(one or two yards) to 35 yards.

I have 25, 30, 40, 50 yards & know my current set up with broadheads shoots 28 yds. b/4 any change in my closest pin setting.

RE: how far away is youer target
 
mines set at about 30yds. i dont measure i step it off so its "around" 30yds. but its a good practice distance for me and i can move it closer or farther if needed

Mine goes out to 33 yrds, only because that is all the room I have in my backyard.

I shoot in yards. I set my target at about 30 yard away.

Yards. A smaller number makes me feel more confident...;).

Mine would be 60yds/180ft marked off at 5yd/15ft increments
A great little range for target practice
