Posted: 11/23/2011 7:19:46 PM [Last Edit: 11/23/2011 7:19:46 PM by IIRC] THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT 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.

I didn't measure it but it is at least 2 stories tall and wide open. We were already thinking about a platform for elevated shooting.

Posted: 9/1/2011 9:52:20 AM 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.
