I set up a little Archery range today in expectation of getting my bow tomorrow. I’m pretty proud of my handiwork here:

The wooden stakes mark 10, 20 and 30 meters. Take a closer look at my target set up in the distance:

Professional

It’s a vegetable crate stuffed with hay and newspaper. I’m going to make some targets to put on it, but I think it’s just about the classiest backstop I’ve ever seen. The goal is to hit 10 out 10 in a 5 inch circle from 30 meters. As you can see, it’s pretty far away to shoot an arrow. I’ll start from 10 meters and back up slowly. I’m hoping this will also train me on distance, get me to recognize how far something is without a range finder.
