RE: Where do you practice?
Good bow shooting is a result of good form. I have plenty of places to shoot, but choose to do my best practicing at about 10 ft.
If I practice in the basement, it is on form at about 5 feet. Not aiming, just practicing on form.
Other then that I shoot in my yard, out the bedroom window, at my cabin, and at the range.

I try to shoot every day in the back yard, but i also have a spot about 2 miles from home thats around 400 acres that i can go to and practice or deer hunt. If its not deer season, then coyotes become off season quarry.

50 yard lighted outdoor range in the back yard. 10 target 3d course though the backwoods with a 15' high 4 x 4 platform when I get the urge to practice from a stand.

I am a member at the local shooting club. They have an indoor heated 20 yard range, and an outdoor range with targets out to 80 yards. They also have a excellent 3D course there and have competition all the time. I am fortunate to be close to them, like 3 miles.

RE: Where do you practice?
I shoot during the winter at our sportsman's club. We have an indoor league that runs 10 weeks that started 2 weeks ago.
Come spring we have an outdoor league and I shoot 3d. I also try to shoot at least a dozen arrows a day off my back deck at my 3d.

RE: Where do you practice?
I'm fortunate to have an archery club less than 2 miles away from my home. It has a 30 yard indoor, two outdoor field/hunter couses and a broadhead course with a 8 x 10' tree stand for fine tuning the broadheads. I try to shoot 3 to 4 times a week to keep the edge. www.hemlockfieldarchers.com

RE: Where do you practice?
I shoot down my drive way, into my garage. I live in town and although I have a big back yard with a wooden fence, I don't think it would be safe to shoot back there. I have a perfect 25 yd range in my drive way. The west side is lined with 15 ft bushes, and most of the east side is my house...very safe and very little wind. Only problem is if you miss the tartget completly....you usually break something or ruin an arrow.
