[Last Edit: IIRC]

A buddy of mine has a building that he is trying to find a use for. I came up with the idea of a 3d archery range. The building is about 45 yards long from wall to wall. There is only one 3d range anywhere close to us. That range is 35 yard max. What is the distance of the 3d indoor range you shoot at? Also if you have any pics of set-ups you could post up, or ideas would be great.

You're a lucky guy. Whats the height of the building? Just asking because it would be badass to shoot from an elevated position.

	Stick it.

Certainly there are advantages to shooting indoors, but I was thinking about something.

Since the spirit of 3D shooting is to hone your yardage estimation skills, I wonder how shooting indoors might effect that. The reason I say that is that distances can look different when you're in the woods vs. open field vs. over water. I wonder if being indoors has the same effect.

You can find a few configurations and cater to schools and target archers as well.

Use the diagonals for longer range. If you are willing, you can do balconies and up hill and down hill shots. You will need walls or fake boulders and stuff to keep shooters separated. Safe shooting lanes. You want shooters to not interfere with other shooters and to be able to safely retrieve arrows.

I would try to utilize 3_D space for the 3_D course. But that adds expense. But you could get real creative by considering vertical as well as horizontal.

Most of the courses I shoot are from 20 to 70 yds.

If you can't take the high road, occupy the high ground.
