Occasionally in the hallway in my house. But mostly in my back yard.

My parents backyard. My backyard is too small. My folks live on a 1/2 acre lot. Plenty of yard to shoot in, and have another 30 yards behind the target just in case.

Just got done shooting. Drenched in sweat, but eh, no big deal.

Good to know. I work in McKinney.

If it isn't too hot I practice on the side of the house where I can get out to 40 yards. If it's hot, I sit in the shade of the front porch and fire away into the yard. However, my front yard is only 34 yards long so that does limit me a bit.

They have the location there and one in Plano at Plano parkway and 75. that one is in the same building as the PGA store. The one at 380 and 75 is in the strip shopping center with Academy. They offer shooting by the hour or yearly memberships which are good and get you on some other ranges around. The 380 location I know offers fror an extra fee card key access for shooting any time.

Backyard and at the ranch. Sometimes from the deck at camp and sometimes from stands in the field.


I work hard, drink a little and hunt when I can.

It's hot enough to be shooting from your swimming pool. I should try this.

Pop out of the water and shoot like Ramboo roflmao

My yard works for me but only get 20-25 yards, so for more range I can stand in street to get 30 and if want to get to 45-50 yarsd I stand on sidewalk at school and shoot across road into my yard. Keeps neighbors and traffic on their toes! cheers

I bulldozed a spot in the trees. 10-60 yards 6 targets. On my property in the country. I shoot usually twice a day.

Smart! I wonder what my neighbors would think while I'm doing that in Dallas!

I don't actually practice at my home in Dallas, I'll be doing most practice at Elm Fork, until I figure out something better.

Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.
