There's a archery dealer that has an indoor 3-D close by. But I just go out side,no snow this year so far and when there is I snow blow a path to my target.
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

I try to shoot every day, if it's not pouring outside.  Want to set up shot from garage to outside so I can shoot after dark on nights I get home late.

Closest archery store w/ and indoor range is over an hour away, but I shoot in my neighbor's basement (10 yds) at least 4-5 times a week, and outside whenever the weather isn't too heinous this time of year.

Yep I can shoot up to 17 yards in my basement. I also hang the target from the rafters at eye level, and shoot point blank working on my form. I try and shoot every night. Some more than others but I always try and shoot a few arrows.

MAn all you guys talking about just shooting a few arrows.... I never have the self control for that.

its like eatin Doritos for me, I can't just shoot a few. before you know it "a few arrows" turns into an all day event........ and then when its time to go....just one more shot!

I've got eight yards in my shop. Shoot every day, working on
my concentration. Been great overall for arms and shoulders
staying loose. Reading this thread to my wife so she knows I'm not the only nut in the tree.

I shoot all winter long. Oh I forgot   :D   , I'm spending three winter months in Arizona. But, when I'm at home, I still brave the cold and shoot just about every day in my back yard. Hunt in the snow, shoot in the snow. But, I must admit, it is a whole lot easier to get motivated while down here in the desert.

I shoot everyday in my basement 18 yards.. I also have an archery shop 1 mile from my house. It has a screen for techno hunts. My buddies and I love to shoot the screen.. Nothing like shooting at live situations on a weekly basis.

Heres my "indoor range". I have a wall at about 10 yards to the target, so I cut a hole in it so I can shoot at 19 yards. Its quite functional in the winter when its to cold outside to shoot, or I don't want to go to the local 3d range.

I have a target block at my place of business and shoot everyday, either before or after I close or while waiting for a customer to get here. I have my 45,50, and 55 # bows here and work all three. Mostly I work on release. But when the weather is good I have a block outside my shop and work  at longer distances. You can get locked in at a set range (in my case 11 yds)  and it will hurt you at other distances. Got to mix it up some.
