Our F&W area does not have targets on their bow range.
They have wood sided sand banks at diff yardages.
You have to supply your own target.
Can set your bag target half way up on sand bank (just set on a flattened spot in the sand).
Can also just wad a piece of paper and poke it into the sand halfway up.
The latter is a cheap and easy broadhead target
Used to be hay bales w compressors. Redone right before bow season. Folks would shoot broadheads and tear the centers out quickly.
So...........when we shot we aimed elsewhere.
Old shot out cardboard deer target was left on a bale and I shot it in the nose (20 yards).
Some hippie blew me crap about shooting overdraw and release (around '86).
Said I couldn't hit crap w my "fancy" stuff. One of those bowhunting elitist jerks he was.
He had a PSE wood riser compound, w quiver rattling badly. His 20 yard groups were basketball sized..
Told my vocal critic I aimed for the nose, since blowing through the shot out bales (kill zone on deer target) was hard on my feathers.
He called BS.
So I shot the 30 yard deer in the nose too.
He shut up and left, so my bud and I quit shooting the elevated platform (max 40 yards) and walked off to the side and behind, where we could shoot 60-80 yards.
Our local club had two 20 yard compressed bales, a 30 and a 40, and a sand pit past the 40..........where you could test broadheads. Written rules on big sign right by shooting line.
Evidently bowhunters are for the most part an illiterate bunch.
Because they blasted broadheads into the bales and target compressors.
Weren't no X bow folks back then either.
So.................a park for archery IMHO should mandate field tips only.
If it is a club with hunting practice in mind, a sand pit for such usage (but many will ignore it.......you have been warned).
To really reduce the chance of stupidity.................sand banks only. Like the F&W area range.
It isn't supervised like the gun ranges.
Note.............the bow range has berm at back, maybe one side too..
I suppose it's also a safety area behind the bow range............to keep people out of harm's way.
