    I normally just shoot in my back yard. I haven't shot indoor since I got back into archery 3 years ago. I would love to find some place and I always forget about Bass pro.

    Well a apple is smaller and harder to hit than a heart thats why you should go with a Hoyt.:woot:

    i would love to shoot outside in a backyard,but dont think my townhouse neighbors would like that:confused: i was VERY sceptical at first but bass pro has the nicest hands down indoor range i've ever been at:hail: very easy to gain access to, just open your bow and let the person at the door look inside for an inventory, they zip tie u up and ur on your way to the back... 2 levels tons of fun 3D targets (sorry no dinosaurs) and very friendly people! $8/hr not bad at all and i have never been there when more than 3 people were shooting.

    I used the gun range once and I saw the archery range but I forgot it was there. I may need to go there and try it out.

    I was thinking of heading over to Bass Pro but might just end up shooting in the yard. I also visit Chain alot during the summer with a bunch of us from the forums. Camo you want to shoot thursday night if it isn't raining?

    Gander up on hwy 50 has an indoor range and fun league I shoot in in the spring... they run it year round but I only have time to do it once per year (about 8 weeks)...

    Winter is my most flexable time but I'm guessing there aren't to many leagues right now.

    you'd be shocked, the one at gander only takes about a 2 week break between each league start...

    I was just thinking of shooting at Bass Pro but I don't care. If you want to shoot outdoors I will try to get off work early. Or we can shoot at my place. I have flood lights that will light up the entire area and a few targets. Either works for me.

    I won't be able to get off before 5:00 so Bass Pro might be the best bet. I haven't done indoor in a while so try and contain your laughter. :lol:
