I shoot in my basement.  Can stretch it out to 13 yards.  Works great for practicing and passing time

Basement, but I get 8-10 yards. At that distance I only need a small bag to shoot at. I shoot off of a stool sometimes or try to hit really small stuff to keep it interesting.

I think it is a great idea. I built a range in my basement. It gives me about 14 yards and it is really nice when the weather is bad out.

We shoot in my buddy's garage when it sucks outside.
 Just don't miss!!!!! Great time to practice your release and concentration and you know how bad we need to do this....grin...!

I still shoot outside with floodlights on and when it gets really cold I shoot in my basement that has an 18 yard range. That's the nice thing about ranch style houses- nice big cellar.  But even garage good for strength and form practice.
To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target

Garage and basement. Both come in handy.

Just set up a range in the basement. I could'nt be happier. It maintains fundementals and muscle memory. But every chance I get, I'm practicing outside.

Basement here too.  I have a spider web on the ground with an 18-1 on top.  I mark the 18-1 with little dots of correction fluid and shoot for those.  I shoot different spots on the different targets.  Also had the "shooter buck" in front of both to practice broadside and quarter away.  Farthest I can get is 14 yards.  I shoot standing, sitting on a chair, from the ground, crouching, etc.  I shoot with the lights out on occasion as well.  

All in good fun, of course.

Basement for me, it's finished so I shot from tv room ,down the hall, through the laundry room door to the back wall. It's a dead end so no one can come around a corner. Freaked the wife out at first, but I have never stuck one in the washer yet so she let's it go on without much fuss.

I have in my garage. My door has holes to prove it ha. But when you get the urge and its nasty out what else is a man to do?

Yep, I shoot year round.  I can get 14 yards in my shop if the spray booth isn't set up - 10 yards when it is.

I insulated my garage just for this reason and I put a back door on it.  Later I built a work shop dog kennel combination.  I can now open the back door and shoot into the work shed getting nearly 18 yards.  Great way to keep my form in the cold winter months.

My first house that we built I put in 8 foot concrete walls so the top limb would clear and made the house long enough that I could shoot 20 yards in the basement.
I would've taken better care of myself,if I'd known I was gonna live this long!

Now that is foresight!

I'm shooting about 11 yards in my basement. 7' ceilings allow it with my Kodiak Mag, but I think a 60-62" bow would be pushing it.

Just because you are passionate about something, doesn't mean you don't suck at it.
