Where do you shoot?
« on: September 14, 2014, 07:43:25 pm »
Lately I've been getting real irritated because I haven't got to shoot any arrows in many months just because of the fact that I have no clue where to go shoot. What people can't understand is that I don't want to go shoot my bows at a boring archery range where you shoot at the same thing over and over. I love walking through the woods and shooting my bow it's so much more fun. I went out and asked 5 people yesterday if I could shoot my bow near the woods by there houses they came up with reasons to say no. Idk I just wish I had some woods I could walk through and shoot my bow without being bothered!! I'm so jealous of people who live right in a wooded area where they can walk right out into the woods and shoot you have no clue how blessed you are. Anyways id like to hear where you guys shoot ?

I find many places to shoot but get what your saying
I have lived in town for a good while and still shoot anytime I want in the back yard or behind the church which is also in town
when my boys were young we sometimes had to fix the nieghbors siding or replace a shingle on someones roof , but that is all just part of the growing up experience !
have fun and don't stress over it!

Is there an archery club in your area that has a 3D/field range?
I'm one of those "lucky guys", but feel your pain.

I shoot in the yard or in the garage mostly.  This time of year I take a deer target next door to my parents yard and shoot off of a second floor deck.  I go to several 3D shoots throughout the year and enjoy the wooded range.

I live in the country and have a 35 meter range in my back yard.yes i'm lucky in a way but still have to drive 100 km a day for work!a grocery bag stuffed tight with other bags will do as a target with field points,easy to carry and does the job!

I like to walk down the road and shoot the cans and stuff then after a few times we take a bag with us and pick it all up.

I shoot my bows in inthr front yard, go out on the BLM land and shoot or go to the lake where I can shoot, or head up in the national forest, all legal places to shoot, I'm also trying to start a three d stick bow tournament

There are a few trad 3D shoots around here in NE Kansas that I try to get to. Usually I just shoot out back since I live in the country and have a range set up.

I can get a good yardage in my back yard shooting corner to corner. The way I shoot if I miss the target the garbage cans take the brunt. If it gets passed the garbage cans there is a block wall.

I'm fortunate that I live in a rural neighborhood.  I can shoot in my yard, across the street in the woods or climb the ridge at the end of the street and shoot in the woods 'til my heart's content.  Hope you can find a good place to shoot soon......keep talking to people and asking around.  Never, ever give up.

Where do you live? Just because someone doesn't like you to shoot near their home doesn't make it against the law. Check the local ordinances. Worst case scenario is that you find out that you have to go some place else. I am lucky that my neighbors don't care.
