I think it boils down to projectiles.... you can’t allow a projectile to cross a road etc. I’m wondering about golf clubs and driving ranges... they send far too many projectiles off their property.

When the archery range was along highway 8 I don’t think there was ever even one incident of an arrow crossing that highway. People were careful.
And Nenshi closed it to make a dog walking park.l. I’m still Pi$$ed about that.

I think it was Bronconnier that closed it? But yeah, that ticked me off too.

I no longer shoot in my yard in town period... basement only.

Same experience for me. I shot in my backyard for one summer when I started years ago. Release pulled through halfway through drawing and the arrow hit the backstop leaning against the fence. I draw pointing at the target. Could have been worse but I don’t want it to be. I‘ll never shoot in my backyard anymore, to much could go wrong

Every time, EVERY time I go to either Jim Bows or Calgary Archery center somebody launches one really high, low, or at least into the wood border on the target. I'm not too proud, I've done it myself a couple of times.
