    I wish I could. Unfortunately the City frowns upon such things.

    That's awesome!! I set up a 16ft ladder in the yard and practice out of that. You got a very nice set up though

    It's the only way I practice. I have a ladder stand set up inside the wood line, can shoot up to 55 yards. I also use my climber in the yard as well as the LoneWolf.

    I had one in my yard all summer, now it's in the woods where it belongs. Great way to practice.

    I can go out to 98 yards before getting into the next piece of property. And my HOA only frowns upon hunting within limits.

    I lived in town once ... I had to stand in the middle of the street to shoot 40 yards, my neighbors .. Well, I don't know what they thought )
    We live about ten miles from the nearest town, population 1200. I can actually see two houses from here ;)
    Middle of nowhere Missouri

    Live in town. I shoot into my garage from sidewalk. I get some weird looks from people sometimes, but most people are friendly as usual. I'm not sure about the rules. I'll shoot until I'm told differently. I don't care to ask.

    Usually I go out to farm or range though. I shoot into garage when I don't have much time and want to fire off 10-15 shots quickly.

    I can stand on my front retaining wall and I get 40 yards I have to open my privacy gate to do it but I live in Eastside Saint Paul MN right in the HOOD, it's perfectly legal, but if I had a tree big enough I'd definitely have a stand in it, I'd have to take the sticks down so my stand and sticks wouldn't go missing from the scrap metal guys that just take things no matter where they are I had a refrigerator for my basement sitting on my porch and some guys came by and took it good thing I got it for free but it still pissed me off.

    I use the platform of my pool ladder to practice elevated shooting. Mimics approx. 16 ft. elevation.

    I have one set up at work (home away from home). Get some funny looks from golfers driving across the golf course in a cart with my hunting clothes and bow and disappearing into the woods.

    I would love to do that but don't have any trees in my yard that will handle a stand. I climb out my daughters bedroom window and shoot off the top of my back porch. Bout as close as I can get.
