Hey everyone. I'm thinking on picking up my first crossbow (any recommendations) and wanted to know the legality of target shooting in my back yard. I am central north west Scottsdale. I know guns are a no go but how about bows?

Looks like you're fine. Just make sure you know where the bolts land. I am not a lawyer though https://www.municode.com/library/az/scottsdale/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=REVISED_CODEVO1_CH19OFIS&searchText=
