Sharing ranges with compound bows
Scowler:
Perhaps you could convince whomever runs this range to install some shorter range targets? If not then maybe you can take your own target to the range? ???

Weylin I feel for you brother I'm frortunate enough to have a yard big enough to be able to shoot any distance I like uf to about 80 yds. I have two targets on oposite ends of the range I choose to shoot. I shoot one set of arrows usually 3 walk to them pull them and shoot in the other direction. Ron
Weylin:
Thanks for the replies. to clarify, it is a simple range with one row of hay bales all next to each other so the archers stand together and shoot at the same bales the entire time. So unfortunately I don't have the option of going ahead of them on the course. The only option is for everyone to stand side by side to shoot. so either I would have to shoot from a mile away with them (which wouldn't be very fun or helpful to me) or I would have to make them move up to where I want to shoot from shich I'm sure would piss them off if they'd even do it.

I used to shoot my selfbow at a range in golden gate park, San Francisco. It was as you said basically a field with a row of butts or hay bale style targets. Every one there was shooting compounds from like 80yds. I just walked right up to the first open bale and started shootin at 20yds with arrows screaming past on all sides. It was pretty crazy! Finally I figured out when most folks didn't use the range...when it rains! So I had some soggy days of shooting the whole time I lived in CA. :)
