long story short..i got to battle a left wing liberal-2nd amendment hater in court about shooting my bow in my back yard. i won!!!!good lawyer!!!

however i can't shoot in my back yard anymore (guess i kinda lost too)

I ma trying to find a place to shoot alittle after work. I like alpine range but it isn't on my way home anymore. i live in hurst, work off loop 12 in irving. i have my own target.

does anyone know of a range or public park or ANY suggestions for me. smithfield and alpine are just too hard during the week. anyone have any private "legal" land? please help

how did it even go to court?

You can come shoot in my back yard. But I live kinda far....

Can you go into more details about how it went to court?

+1, I shoot in mine, but my neighbor is cool. Always wondered though. Glad you won!

Yeah, we want to hear this one!!!

Did Judge Whitley, if he is still there, treat you fairly?

yes it was judge whitley, and he, my lawyer, and me were the only ones in that courtroom with a brain! i will try to type out the story tonight. it's a long one.
paul what side of ft. worth you on?

Lewisville open. Up to 60 yard shots, elevated (stands and platforms), as well as ground shots. Always welcome, and looking forward to hearing "The rest of the story"!

Thank God I live in the country! LOL!

I'm glad to hear you won and looking forward to hearing the details!

where in lewisville???

i believe there is an archery range at elm fork off of northwest highway. its been a while since i've been out there, but i thought they were building a 3-d archery range

that would bee convienient for sure

where and whats the name

never has happened to me and i always shoot in my backyard

Shoot in the backyard all the time in a subdivison. So far no problems. Glad to hear you won but hate to hear you can't shoot in your own yard anymore.

u cant shoot in ur own back yard? wtf what about a 1/2 inch rubber mat as a backboard just in case?

Sounds like you need to move out of the big city, and away from the libs.

I shoot 40 yards in Grapevine at my house

I'll be curious to hear this story as well. I just shot for the first time in my backyard in my new subdivision in Katy. Hope nobody cares....don't really care if they do.

I would like to hear the rest of the story too.

I shoot in my backyard but I'm careful and I try and shoot during the day on work days only because I could understand someone worrying I'm gonna kill one of their pets or injure a kid accidently. Even though the corner I'm shooting into would completely destroy my arrow if I missed my target.

I do think I looked this up once and it is against city ordinance where I am. And I have a police officer next door on the other side who don't seem so friendly.

hey im looking for a place to shot to im new to bow hunting and want to practice but dont know where if anyone knows of a good place shoot me a PM with info on it thanks...

I think you can shot at Smithfield Archery off Davis Blvd.

i shoot in my backyard. i have to open the gate and shoot from the front yard to get 40yds...shot a few rabbits too, but never had anyone say anything.

Um, I have shot down on the trinity river bottoms off of loop 12 and old Irving Blvd.
