You can use old rubber mats hang them on the wall, at least it would stop a arrow from coming back at you.or sandwich a few pieces of 4'-8' -1/2 dry wall behind the targets 3-5 pieces might save your arrows.

When we built our home 11 years ago I told my wife I wanted an indoor archery range
in the basement. Our contractor was a hunter also and actually got a chuckel when
I told him what I wanted. He said he has built alot of homes over the years but not
one with an indoor bow range! It was a great investment and I shoot 20 yards indoors
in a warm basement all winter long.

Aside from the safety hazard assoiated with shooting in an occupied home I feel that shooting in a wind free environment will do little or nothing to "marry" one to his bow since it isn't very realistic . Shooting indoors is more appropriate for target shooting , not hunting .
Well it is like -20 for the last week and in the winter it doesn't get much over 5 degrees I dont know about you but i really dont want to go outside to sit there and shot 3 arrows and get cold. It is 70 degrees in my basement and very comfortable to shoot in. But when it warms up i go out side because i have 9 3D's out there.

Kevin, whenever your shooting time is limited and it's either shoot inside or don't shoot period, I gotta think that shooting inside is better than nothing. On which finger does your bow where its wedding ring?

Kevin are you there? Maybe your bow won't let you sign onto the computer 'cause it needs some attention and wants to feel special? [8D]
LOL
