practice for a tree stand

Here is my dilema. I hunt from a treestand but don't have any trees at my archery range ( back Yard) to practice elevated shooting.
Anyone have a suggestion for using a ladder or another method? I could climb up on the roof but since I am the only one at home all day I really don't want to go that route.
Wish I had a ladder platform like we had in the warehouse I use to work in. It had wheels and was easy to move around.

Building a permanent platform out of treated 4x4 posts with concrete footers and side railings would probably be the safest.

Yep take it to the woods if legal, (not on gamelands here) or shoot from your roof. Do that a bit just be carful, friend fell and compound fractured his arm,he had to learn to shoot with a mouth tab as he saw in a bowhunter magazine.

I planted a 20' utility pole 5' in the ground in my backyard.
