practicing boredom

[JohnS]

does anyone else have problems shooting by themselves??? i have recently moved to combine, in the country and have found that it is boring to go shoot by myself. i used to shoot with friends on a regular basis when i lived in college station. so am i the only one??? what do you do to spice it up? anybody around here want to shoot? any advice would be great

blow up some little balloons or fill with water and tack 'em to the target block and choot'em...
I get bored shootin' by myself too...

This will add some excitement...

1) Stack cinder blocks around your target.

2) Now you're playin for keeps!!!

-If you miss, there goes the arrow & field tip. It makes "missing" not an option. More of a high pressure shooting situation, and you'll make it count. Most of the time .

this hobby is expensive enough without purposely making it more expensive. but i have thought about buying one of the carp 3d targets to put in my pond to shoot

Light a camp stove and put cans of either around it and fire at the cans "boom" makes a nice mushroom cloud. Sorry worst advice ever, I find it hard to shoot by myself. Just gota to try challenging shots.

I have the same problem. I'll shoot out of my pop-up or set up a tree stand, so its not the same thing over and over. If that doesn't work cats are always a fun target. Just Joking.

What do you mean? Cinder blocks are cheap!

Just kidding- I know... arrows are expensive. But when you have something to lose, it really ups your concentration!

Buy some flu flu's and juto points and get your wife to throw some skeet up for you....or throw a tennis ball out and try to smack it. The judos will stop your arrow pretty fast and you won't loose them..
