I am in the process of planning a 3-D archery range and I am looking for some ideas. If you were to build your own archery range what are some of the must haves you would include? ie Raised platform to simulate shooting from a treestand, bow hangers and arrow storage at each station etc.
The area (3-4 acres) does not have any trees yet, some will be planted for this specifically and currently I have about 10 3-d targets of various types and will look at ranges of 10 to 80+yds
The idea you mentioned was setting up a couple tree stands, or blinds to shoot out of from alternate positions is an awesome idea. It gives the range a degree of difficulty and added challenge. Might be a little more work but if its something that can be moved easily you can always shake things up and keep it fun!
Uphill and downhill shots, shots over ravines, shots over obstacles that obscure the target,shots through branches, long shots, short shots....basically hunting scenarios
Location: Usually the office, but the bush when I can

^This. Let's bring 3D back to grass roots and what it was developed for - hunting practice. Calgarychef forgot to mention - unmarked yardages.
