How do you get in your bow practice? When I lived at my parents house, I would shoot everyday in the yard after work throughout the summer and fall.
For the past couple of seasons I have depended on less then 6 shooting sessions before the season started. I was decidely less sharp then I should have been last season. I am planning on spending some of my vacation time shooting at my parents but would like a closer option. I know I cannot set up a target out behind the condo, but what do you guys do? I live in South Brunswick, and have the state land of Pigeon Swamp or 6 mile run within short distance of me, but I do not know the rules for something like that. Can I take a square target and build myself a range? |

| I shoot IN my condo at about 10 yards. That's all I have here and then I go to a range on the weekends or a friends place. Definitely sucks and makes it difficult to sight in, make changes, etc. | ||

I go to my best friends place. We have a 50 yard range with a stand set up we put the deer target at various ranges and shoot from the stand. I really helps get you ready. Sportman's center has nice 20 yard range and they have a video shoot. If anybody wants to get together and go shoot that one day next week let me know.

i go to my neighbors..
I hate not being able to shoot in my back yard. I used to shoot everyday, not since I moved here. When I purchase my home I will have a 30 to 35 yard shot condition of my purchase. __________________ "Americans have the right and advantage of being armed - unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms."

I have a pretty good set up there, I shoot from the second floor deck up to 25 yards with woods as a back stop. I might look into that Waxobe club, but I do not know if I want to drop $200 on it for this year. |
