My buddy lives in a subdivision and we have lock on stands set up in his trees so that the shots are angled down toward the ground. It adds to the realism of the practics also.

shoot it straight up.................then run inside. I stuck one in my grandmas roof with my indian compound bow when I was about 10yrs old


Sounds like something my dad told me they did when they were young. They would shoot up in the air, and lay down to see how close they would land to you. I guess you needed a death thrill to get through the day in the depression era.

My boys do and once a D-loop popped loose! the arrow shot through the top of a nearby crepe myrtle cluster and boinged off into the neighbors yards somewhere. Yikes!

I live in fear of that. Release across the nose and a good ole self-inflicted knuckle sandwich.
