Any one shoot in your house

[Bill Shepard]

I haven't tried it with my longbow or recurve.  But, I used to shoot the wheelie bow from the kitchen, through the laundry room, across the backyard and through the garage. It's a bit over 20 yards.  

I don't quite trust my skills with the traditional gear yet.  Now I stand in the backyard and shoot into the garage.  So far, I only have two holes in the wall.

Before we moved I had a garage and shot regularly (and a few times right through the target into the garage door!).  It was about a 12 yard shot.  Now I have a small shop and shoot about 8 feet into a bag target, just to work my muscles and practice form.  No holes in the wall yet (it is only 8 feet).

I have an 11 yard shot in the garage. I shoot into a bag target. I have some holes in the drywall from when I was only using a cube target. A 4'x4' piece of plywood as a backstop would be a good idea.

I have a 17 yard shot in my basement. I shoot down there almost every night.

[Over&Under]

I get about 10-12 yds down the hallway, bag target, beats the bitter cold!

[JESSE69]

About 10 yards in the garage.

I've been shooting in  my down stairs,15 yds just a block target propped up on the wood pile by my stove. Couldn't draw my 64 inch wes wallace without hitting the cieling, but I just got a  56 inch BW psr from a fellow trad gang member and I've been having a lot of fun with that sweet little  bow.

Here in Alaska its been crappy outside for about 4 months now.

Too hot to shoot outside down here......

In the winter I shoot every night in my basement at a black hole target, easy to vacuum not much noise,15ys

With a handle like blind one I have a feeling it's just a matter of time....    

I used to shoot in the house but could only get about 6 yards.  Still better than not shooting.  Now I have a heated shop and by opening a door to the unheated half have a 15 yard shot - much better.

I am the one that told Shaun about the mattress.  We replaced one and as I was hauling it out of the house I realized the shop was closer than the curb.  Propped it up behind the target and it works great!  (Not that I ever hit it or anything  :rolleyes:  )

I lost my house recently so I'm back in an apt. temporally. I shoot from the back bedroom down the hall to the front door. I get about 12 yards.

Only when no one else is home and the dead bolt is thrown on the front door.

i too am a basement shooter.  about 12 yards corner to corner.  18"x18" block target.  its the only possible way i can deal with winter.  i shoot everyday.

The basement too. Block wall for a backstop so it makes me concentrate more.

[Dan Chamberlain]

I have an area in the unfinished basement where I have an unobstructed 15 yard shooting range.

I have a small barn right next to the house. I have a block target surrounded with Hay bales. I have a 15 yard shot. If its windy I just close the doors. Can't do much about when its cold but dress for it. Its never too cold to shoot in there though.

Yup me too.  I can get 13 yards from corner to corner.  I have a block wall where my chiminy comes down to the basement and a support jack that I have to shoot in between about 1/2 way to the target.  My target is backed up by a block wall.  It is tight but like Kenny said it makes me concentrate of my spot more!!

I could shoot 20 yards down my hall way when nobody was home just don't want to risk it.  Chaining the doors is a good idea.  When I was big into 3d with my compound I was checking the paper toon and shot through a week spot on my bag and barried an arrow in my garage wall not good.

A converted corner of my Archery Room. Dark, zero temps or rain are no excuse for not working on my form. I lay the "block" on its side so I can stand, kneel, squat ect.... It's all about hunting situational practice.  

I can move the block down a hallway and get a 15 step indoor shoot when needed.

You guys have to get out of the basement!!!  I have a living room where I live and shoot, Got rid ov the TV to make room for the BLOCK. I like to shoot one arrow in morning before I leave and one in the evening, because only one counts. However I generally can't stop there.

Cody I dont want to see you regess in your shooting, go brave the cold young man!!!! or come out here
