Sharing ranges with compound bows
Weylin:
Well Matt, that's entirely to reasonable and practical, probably why I didn't think of it. ::) Maybe I'll bring my foam target along when I go.
Lee Slikkers:
Makes me really appreciate being able to roam and stump shoot on my measly 3 acres (plus my ol' man's) 27 acres...I know I feel a lot better turning my 2 young boys loose out back without a worry or a care about houses, people or things that really matter. Sometimes you don't know your blessing until you see the other side of the coin.
M-P:
Howdy, I've heard about that range up in Golden Gate......crazy set up. I would suggest that you talk to how-ever is in charge of your range and see about having the back stops (hopefully they're excelsior or very compacted straw) placed at staggered distances. I have a hard time believing that the compounders always want to shoot at 1/2 mile. If they hunt, or do 3Ds they need to sight in their 20, 30 and etc. yard pins as well.
In the meantime I like Matt's idea. Just take your own target.
The compound shooters are playing a rather different game than us, but my experience is that they're a basically great group, too.

they are a great group, they just need all these fancy devices to seem as good as someone with a wood bow ;D
M-P:
Fishfinder, I agree... and you should see how impressed some of those guys are if you can shoot from the same stake and post a score that's anywhere close to theirs. They seem awfully resistant to trying to shoot a real bow, though.
