Re: Archery
Well, if you don't have money for an archery range, do what I do: find a quite place away from civilization, and shoot there. Make sure of course you're well-protected: I have to contend with bears, wolves, etc.

Re: Archery
I was wondering how to fashion one of those polyurethane foam targets - basically you build a block of foam I guess and you apply a target out of paper over it, using the foam to absorb the impact and making sure it's easy to extract after. (the arrow)

Re: Archery
And...? Where? How much? Really traditional in the sense of a long piece of yew that you string yourself? Hands and arms already bruised from practice?
Re: Archery
Correct!
I bought a traditional longbow, not a yew one (yew longbows are very expensive) but made from rattan, a strong wood that is quite good for this thing. I have to string / restring it, it's insanely difficult to do so and the longbow is around 76" long (I believe 120 cms / 1.2 metres?).

Rattan? I think my grandmother had some chairs made from Rattan, similar to that

Inches to centimetre? I remember something like 2,5...a strong wood that is quite good for this thing. I have to string / restring it, it's insanely difficult to do so and the longbow is around 76" long (I believe 120 cms / 1.2 metres?).
According to the table here
https://www.inches-to-cm.com/
2,54 in to cm is right so 76" would be 193,04 cm or 1,9304 m - larger than me.
However that seems really huge. Are you sure about the 76"? Do you use some archaic form of Inch were you live? Is your second name Odysseus if you string such a monster?
