I worked on improving my winter range under my deck using an old power rack as its foundation. I will also be able to use it for paper tuning.

Would love to see where others, especially in northern climates, shoot during the cold winter months.

Closer look

first round of day from 20

second round from 27...i like it

My winter range is just my yard. Get the 3D deer target out of the shed and put it in the yard. This year I want to build something more permanent like the one in this picture. Having a roof over it would be even greater.

third and final round from 36yds

Blackstick-

I can get a 13 yard shot in my basement as well. Sometimes it is just the way to go!

My basement is mine also. These close shooting ranges I just pound the form aspects

During the summer I have a nice range in the yard but I move some up to the barn/driveway for winter.

Man its such a balmy weather day here in SC low county,cannot wait till spring arrives.Thirty clear yard shot sixty if I back out into the road.

Local state/club range.

What's a winter range? Just go out and shoot in the snow.

Treeman-

A winter range is where one shoots in the winter. Might be the same as summer and might not be.

This is my winter range.

reb-

That is one sweet range!!!

I enjoy the winter walk.

thank you i enjoy it very much.

Here's my winter range

Reb

nice shooting lane, thats cool,you have a nice bow collection too.

reb....woa..lol...that'll make a guy drool.

There's mine down in the man cave. About 9 yards.

Kodiaktd- My target set up is very similar to the one you pictured. Couple things I learned since the first build I had: The roof makes a huge difference. Give it a good amount of overhang. Compress the bales! Doesn't need to be complicated; I built the frame slightly smaller than the bales, drew the sides snug with a strap or rope, and screwed the side upright to the top piece with long lag bolts, to drw them in tight. Nice tight bales that don't fall apart or rot.

Oh, and I fastened a piece of stall mat to the back of the frame. Had way too many pass thru's before I smartened up to that.

This is from last month, pictured is a Mckenzie bear. We have about half the amount of snow now. Just thankful for the snow this year! DJ

Same as rest of year. Randy

Close up of targets. Randy

reb- that is a very nice set up!

Here is a Picture of my target that I built and welded together. Its measurements are 6'4"X 4'X 2' and is holding up very well.

This is my little shooting range. But I actually use it all year long. LOL. SO WHAT DO YOU THING OF IT. Buckhunter.

Here it is at about 20 yards. We have had a great winter this year. Very little snow. Buckhunter

Buckhunter-

That is a GREAT range, summer, winter, anything in-between. Being able to leave your targets out and protected from the elements is a good thing!!

Taken this morning when it was still a little cold ;-)

20 yards to the target bag at the fence

Panther is 38 yards from the living room window

Past the bird feeders

Too cold in the shed for bows

East side of State Highway

West side of State Highway

Here's my year-round range; a field behind my son's house that's about 600 yards long. The hills to the east of it are part of a 5,700-acre state park where I hunt, and then Penobscot Bay is just over the hills.

It's a perfect spot for any kind of shooting...and once in a while, Tom even brings me out a cup of coffee! Life is good.
