Any one shoot in your house

[Bradd]

Yep...4 yards into a bag target.

[bretto]

Yep, down the hallway when Nobody is home. About 11 yds. No holes in the wall yet but I'm sure it's just a matter of time.

[dan ferguson]

Biggie, that just wouldn,t work, I,d be to tempted to take a crack at the critters, just to make sure the first wasn,t luck.

[Biggie Hoffman]

Dan, there is a full mount black bear just out of the picture that IS tempting!

I remember getting kicked out of a Holiday Inn in Valdosta Ga once for shooting inside the room.

[Harmless]

Yep, every couple days in the basement. I can shoot from 17 to 19 yards depending on where I stand. I use a bag target.

I can shoot 9 yards in my garage (homemade stacked corrugated cardboard "block",) but here in Maine, even that is too cold now. I have a couple of light 'bundle' bows made of fiberglass that only draw 15 lbs, plus a Boy Scout 25 lb recurve that I shoot in the playroom. Can get about 7 yards there. Good for keeping the eye in and the form trimmed up.

Kicked out of a Holiday Inn for shooting your bow?!!! Man Biggie, JUST LIKE A ROCK STAR!!!

Here is my field point target. I bought it about 14 years ago. There is no telling how many arrows it has stopped. The front material is ready to finally be changed. It would be easy to make and I highly recommend it. The dimension on this one are 4'x4'. You could definitely make it larger or smaller. I have put casters on the bottom of it to make it easy to roll around.

I shoot in through my garage door to the opposite side of the basement which at the farthest point is 18 yards.

There is no stuffing in between the two front layers (the layers around the 2x4's) but the 6x6 back layers there is pillow stuffing stuffed in between them very tight. It still shows no sign of needing replacement and arrow penetrate about the same as the day I bought it. Not sure what the material covering is but I'm sure you could find anything similar to use.

A real plus to this target is the different layers that the arrow passes through allows for them to remain perfectly straight just like they go in which keeps you from breaking arrows as you shoot at the same spot.

Hope this is a benefit to someone.

KentuckyTJ you must be a good shot with your bow I would never put a target that close to my truck.

My wife retired from her green house business. I got rid of all of the houses but one. It's a 50' house with lights and heat........spend a lot of time there. Have lost an arrow or two thru the back plastic wall, but it's a small price to pay to get out of the rain and now heavy snow that we are getting.

Cody, it's funny you say that. The other day I was shooting my broadheads at a small broadhead target in the same spot as this one is sitting and happened to get a flyer and ran it through the garage wall. It wasn't a pass through so no harm, but it made for a great broadhead toughness test.

I do find the truck being that close makes me bear down when shooting.

[Cody Roiter]

so you didn't get a clean pass through  

[KentuckyTJ]

Nope thank goodness then I would have had to pulled out the bondo.

[Drew]

Cody, it's warming up get outside and shoot!

Those cold days I shoot in my basement, about 15 yards at a block target.

I'm finishing my basement so when framed it I laid out my "archery" room at the longest point and in the back wall I left a 6x6 opening to shoot through the wall!

I'll have to take a few pics..

I did learn not to bareshaft with broadheads, a concrete wall will mess up a 2 blade Zwickey pretty good!

In the shop I can and do shoot 12 to 15 yards. Our first house I built I made sure was 60ft long so I could squeeze in a 20 yard shot diaginal in the basement. No wonder my wife is sick of hearing about bowhunting!   Ben

I have an Office Supply store. 96 ft from front to back. A buddy of mine shoot there usually 10, 12, 15 20 yard shots. Can shoot 30 yards but rarely do that. Then I walk upstairs to our apartment. It is nice!

[Stone Knife]

I shoot in my basement, I can get around 14 yards. I work on form and shoot from different positions to simulate my hunting conditions.

KentuckyTJ..Just noticed....Nice robinhood!!!!!
