great range now you should stagger them and put them at differnet angles, so you have a more real life scenario instead of always shooting straight out.
I agree and do away with the yardage markers. You aren't going to have any in the woods so might as well use your practice time to sharpen up your yardage judging skills. Great looking range though!!

Man, that looks great! Kinda hard to practice from up in the stand if your bow is on the ground!

Not realistic at all. You should let your yard go and get overgrown with weeds and vegitation to more closely simulate a true hunt, sort of like my yard j/k, thats a sweet set-up.

Yeah, I actually have another stand set up in the pine tree way at the end on the left now, so I do get some off yardage angle shots. Can't go too far left, the pool is in the way (see pic), and I have a fence line to the right of this corridor. But this is only for getting the sights set in and form right on my new bow for now. Once I get to the last few weeks before the season, I'll put the targets all around me at odd distances and try to judge them on the fly as well as work on some crossover shots behind me in the side yards.
