Or at least my wife thinks Im crazy. I set up a tree stand in one of my pecan trees in my back yard and a tripod behind an oak tree to practice shooting out of. She thinks I have gone over the deep end.

Does a stand on the telephone/light pole count?

does climbing on top of the house qualify, and my wife pulls the arrows out and throws them back up to me. really does help though

I've been called a nut simply because I was out climbing a tree with my climber in May. I had just gotten it and could wait to try climbing and no one but me could understand this.

It's ok Burnie, you're not loco.

As long as your wife is throwing the arrows TO you, not AT you, you should be fine.

I'd probably be doing the same things you guys are doing, but I don't have any trees in my back yard and I don't want to damage my shingles. Guess I could shoot from a ladder, though... It'll have to wait until after turkey season, though. Still have one more weekend to go...

i don't have any trees at my house to use my climber but i have a big enough hay backstop to shoot from my roof now. so you are definately not crazy.

we tried puttin our stand in a tree but the tree wasnt very straight so it didnt work. i wanted to shoot off the roof, but me or my dad would have to stay down to retrieve the arrows but we both wanted to go up and shoot. but bein in an area where your neighbors house is only 15 yards away from your house, your kinda limited in what you can do.

yeah whiteclound i'm in about that same situation. i'm in a residential area so that's why i'm shooting into 2 haybales, a wire fence, and then a wooden privacy fence. but as long as everything goes right i shouldn't need the backstop hopefully.

I hang a stand in my yard each summer to shoot from. Seems normal to me.

If I could set up a stand in my backyard to target shoot out of I would. So I don't think you are crazy.
