    How do you think the target is staying in place? :p;)

    My parents would kill me if I tried that... still 10m, at least that's a practice distance...
    What happens if a housemate gets the munchies and tries to grab something from the fridge though Ewan, shoot it from their hands? ;)

    An ACE with 40lbs behind it would probably go through the hedge at the end of my garden and into the house beyond, which would be a worse result than me putting a hole in my fridge.

    i had a target built into a wardrobe when i was living in dublin, didnt have the luxury of a garden... there is one hole in the wall at the back from a pass through, my backstop net had slipped!
    It was only about 4m, standing at the end of the bed shooting into the wardrobe, but better than nothing, i always wandered if my neighbours could hear... :)

    Yeah they're next door. They don't put any pass on me, as I generally shoot in the evenings when all the kiddies are gone.

    I did the same in college - the student flats had a storage cupboard at the end of the corridor - used to shoot down the corridor into a bag target in the cupboard. Put a hole in the ironing board once :) The girls upstairs used to complain if I shot past midnight...

    Sounds like Ewan has a chance to do what we've be threatening to do all year! :eek:
    If only he lived near an old folks home too!

    Shooting whenever you can has it's benefits in most respects, fair play to yea Ewan!

    The Butt Keith had is getting great use and has never really been left idle for too long. There's no complaints from neightbours, unless each arrow got followed by a high pitched scream which hasn't happened yet, at the mo it might be one lads walking down the stairs.....and the idea of an angry hobbit doesn't appeal to me!
