the backyard is okay for shooting, i hard a target but wear and tear destroyed it lol. Also the fact my family liked to use the bow/crossbow and miss the target which made the arrows/bolts hit the concrete wall...:( with my warbow on the way all I have atm is my crossbow, and compound bow, no arrows or bolts, but I do know where a range is. Do they sell/give you bolts/arrows to use there?

You probably can buy arrows or bolts at the range- although I've never been I'm assuming its like going to a gun range, where you can buy ammo for just about any gun they carry in the store.

Excellent!

Yeah, the weak point can be the ammo, for any projectile weapon. You're stuck if you don't have enough. :)

I've found with my crossbow that I want to have at least a dozen, with extras since you'll break one from time to time. I somehow started out with 17 and am down to about 13 now, so I'll have to look for more at some point (and crossbow quarrels aren't as easy to find).

Leganoth, how tall is that bow?  I know you're like what, 6'3", 6'4" right?  Maybe its the angle.
