Winter indoor shooting

[Doc]

Well, it's time to move a couple of items and uncover the bow target in the basement. It's only 15 yards, but all I do is use a smaller bulls eye .... lol. Sure is better than standing out in the snow with a temperature in the teens. Anybody else doing some winter shooting (in home or a commercial range)?

Not all that unusual. There's are lot of people that like to keep the archery muscles tuned up year around. When I was a member of Avon Bowmen, we used to have an indoor range over in Caledonia for winter league competition. I finally had to get out because it was a 70 mile round trip on winter roads (ha-ha .... that was dedication). So I took their target face, made it a 3/4 scaled down version and started shooting in my basement at 15 yards instead of the official 20 yards. I still do that just to keep my hand in the target stuff a bit.

I was just thinking the same thing, perfect time to work on muscle memory for drawing and anchoring as well as slow trigger squeeze. 3D season will be here no time and then hunting season.

Plus, it's just fun shooting. For me bowhunting is only part of it. I really do like shooting the bow.

I keep all my firewood in my basement and I have to burn some more before I have room for the target. I am eager to do that though because I also want to hit a lot of 3D shoots this year.

I haven't shot my bow in a few months and that does not seem right.

All I have is 10 yards downstairs, but at least I'm able to shoot...beggars cannot be choosers.

17 yds corner to corner in the basement range. Atleast 5 nights a week the old man comes over and we make dart boards on the big paper plates and play a couple games and drink a beer or 2. It's alot of fun and really relaxing standing by the stove "shooting" darts.

I use the back of the last arrow I shot.

This is the first time in 16 years I havent joined the Winter IBO outdoor league, too many kids activities. But ill get there a few times and shoot as a walk on. I shoot eight yards in my basement quite a bit, im trying to learn to use a hinge release

[The_Real_TCIII]

Google "Powerpoint archery spot targets", you can get a template that prints Indoor Spot targets proportional to the number of yards you have, assuming you dont have 20

I fell in love with the 3D shoots recently,it just like hunting except I get to actually shoot the bow.

Did you shoot at Wilson last week? They do a great job

I haven't done any shooting since the season ended. I have a new 3D rig I'm building that I can't wait to get out and shoot.

It would be nice if I could shoot in my basement. I could shoot 20yds if my wife would get rid of her ANTIQUITIES (crap)

A few? Wasn't it obviously a bad idea after the first one?

apparently I'm a slow learner

Into our 2nd week at Suffolk Archers this Sunday.  I might actually make this one because getting to the hunting grounds might not be possible with this snow.

This is my "range". Forgive the Silence of the Lambs" messy basement I wish the joists ran the other direction, I'm 6'4" and have to be careful of my top cam

I have an almost 10 yard shot the way my basement is set with the stairs coming down the middle eliminating a diagonal shot....helps with from and muscle memory for the winter 3d league i shoot in. When needed I have a 50 yard indoor range close by for the cold windy days the bow needs to be tweeked.
