I'd love to shoot in the "house," but it's only 596 square feet total and less than 10 yards longest interior range. Not even a blue grouse will let me get that close. But then, it's a way to keep the muscles tuned. But I'm old and dumb and just shovel the snow off the outdoor targets and do it that way. But you gotta shoot good in winter in the Rockies ... or wait till spring to find your snow-buried arrows. Seriously, I sure wish I did have an indoor range. dave

I have a door bought at Home Depot and painted before I realized that it was too small.  It's a six panel- six eight- two eight door already primed for those who shoot down the hall.  U PU and I'll make you a deal!  LOL

Oh yeah.  Basement is 77 ft long from one end to the other.  I get a nice 25 yd shot with 2 feet to spare.  I could get 30 yds corner to corner but the furnace would be in grave danger.

I can get 15 yds. by opening up the door to the garage and shooting down the hall from the kitchen sink. I use my commercial layered foam target, backed up by a sheet of 1/2" particle board.

Note: The particle board will not completely stop a field tipped arrow out of my 51# recurve, but it will keep the arrow from going through the garage door and into the radiator of my wife's truck!

Dang Doug, I forgot about that Caribou!  We could set up a really sweet 3D course in there!

Had I left my basment unfinished I could have a 25 yard shot....but I needed an office and Momma needed a craft room and canning kitchen....sooo....I only have a 13 yard shot thru the shop door into the basement garage.  I shoot a bag and a block.

I have around a 7 yard shot in my office.  We do a lot of chrono testing here, and I do a lot of practicing.  I use two of the Wally World 4x4 targets; the one on the bottom is worn out and I used it to get the second one up to a good height.  The one on top is unusually resilient; I've had it for over two years now.  It takes a beating.

Cody in my last house in New York, I used to shoot from the Dining Room through the door in the kitchen and down through the play room and into the target in the gargage.  The distance was 18 yards and it was cool. I was only able to do that when I was single as soon as I got married. Like all good things it came to a quick end. My wife reminded me that one miss and I was dead, It was safer to stop shooting indoors after that warning. I never missed before but after that warning my nerves couldn't handle the threat!

I shoot in my bedroom - about 3 yards - no kidding. I use a Rinehart cube, it is a very reliable stopper and lasts lots of shots. Though I cannot learn the trajectory with this short distance you can really focus on your technique. I only use tough carbon arrows for that.
