In the 80's, we had an archery store move into a converted paint company building. Nice storeroom on the back. 21yds from the entrance to the back wall targets. There were five shooting positions from 8yds to the 21 at the door. We used various size targets, twisted shooting stances, and blind screens, to make the shots more competitive. He even had a tree stand position in one corner. One guy shot an arrow straight into the floor out of it one night. It hit at about 10 yds. Slipped off of the rest just as he shot, he said. Pinched the arrow I think. Someone painted a circle around that one before the next week. He heard about it for many shoots, believe me.
During one tournament we had a recurve night. We all brought our old recurves in, and shot the same rounds with that equipment(fiberglass or wood arrows). Of course we practice with them the week before, or the month before for some, but you should have seen the scores plummet. At 8 yds, hitting a dime is a lot easier with a compound set at 75, than a recurve pulling 55. But it was always a lot of fun. I found a range near here. Hoping to get back into it this year.
