Let's see what everybody has setup for a home shooting range.
I'll start it off. Here's mine. A simple hay bale with bows hanging on tree limbs. This is an old field that grew up in pine trees. My dad bush hogged rows out through it when they were small to thin it out a bit. I've backed off as far as 50 yards down this particular row to shoot just for kicks, and could go as far as 80-90 yards if I trimmed some limbs. I rarely shoot past 20 though, and where the bows are hanging is about 15.

Great target practice.
I do most of my practice stump shooting cacti, leaf piles, and weeds with judos and SGTs
but I have a small stack of bales and a hillside with a few plastic bottles and tennis balls to shoot at in the backyard when I am feeling lazy.
MnFn's range looks like it would be a good little hunting property too :)

^^^ Gary that looks just about perfect! Pretty bow too.
Following this cause I need some ideas...Come on..show some photos
I don't know how to post photos yet but I have an outdoor range set up with about 9 targets and a 15 yard range indoors with a few block range targets. One thing I suggest is try and get some of those rinehart ball targets. I tie rope yo them and swing them from my wife's plat holder rack lol. So much fun shooting at them. I have found shooting at smaller targets has improved my shooting a yon versus shooting at my big block targets.
Three so far.

This is a great post! Need some ideas for limited space.

Old conveyor belting and a pipe frame - I can get 50yds.
My home range consists of a U-Stuff It Bag, a foam blob for broadheads, a 3-D turkey and boar. It's behind the house at our picnic grove by the woods. I can shoot 60 yards from either side.
I also have a 12 target stuffed bag course in the woodlot. The targets are plastic feed sacks stuffed with plastic shopping bags, totally waterproof. I twist tie them off and wire to a sapling 1-1/2' off the ground.
Yeah, I know, it's pretty cool.
3 bales of straw backing up to my neighbor's garage. A couple leftover 4x8 sheets of siding as a hard-stop so I don't pop a hole in his wall. Got his permission, just to be safe.
Stepping out from my office door, I have 25 yards to the target face (my point-on distance). I can back up to 37 yards if I want. Most of my shooting is under 25, though.
Working on my range. I have a 3d deer,a 3d Turkey,a long horizontal bag target that represents a bedded deer. I'm also hoping to introduce a muzzy block. That will give me 3-4 shots from different distances from each position. I have shots from 10 to 25 yards and can fan around the yard for a few shots between trees and at from 0 to 8 foot elevation changes.
I am working on my range. I concreted in a half of a trailer axle and bolted a 8"x 5' piece of channel iron to it for a rotating target base. Once the weather gets a little nicer here I will be building a building it up to have a roof and a backside with haybales stacked in. I guess I need to finish it up and get some pictures. :) Basically a set of haybales that I can rotate 360 degrees to get different looks.
