There was a traditional indoor league I went to that was set up in the attic.  It was nice and really roomy

If Kevin shoots as good in his attic as he does at my house, he will need steel plating as a back stop and roof protection.  :laugh:

Patric has them trick arrows, dont let him fool ya, im a good shot. Now him on the other hand.... ask him about a war bow, a two arrow shot and his above ground swimming pool!

However i do like how you compliment my bows power with the obvious need for steel plating as a backstop! >:D

I've an old friend that built a 40 X 100 years ago for a workshop next to his house in town.
Bottom was 50/50 split for his wood working shop/ and to store his sail boat and rec boat.

The top floor had a kitchen/relax/bedroom and a 100 ft archery range.

He was thinking whenever his wife got mad at him he had a comfortable place to hang out instead of the couch.

I've got 20 yards from one end of my attic to the other. I can stand in the center.

Ron's a retired UP conductor and made some good investments. He spent a lot of years on the road away from family in order to acquire his dream. He's also a fine finish carpenter and cabinet maker.

He and Cindy raised some good kids and helped pave their way to good educations and careers.

Come on Patrick let's hear about the war bow two arrows and the pool

Well I'll just say this,  the pool is just fine.  But we won't be shooting 2 arrows at the same time again.
