I have to sight my bow in again, and need a backstop for when I miss the target entirely whilst doing this.

I use a pond that butts up to a Walmart, but some guys on here didn't like that

Nope, he got a new arrow and wants to make sure it shoots good.

Just start at 8-10 yards and move back from there. Shouldn't miss. I always sight mine in on a 2x2 foam target.

New sight, new arrows (from aluminum to carbon fiber), and I hadn't adjusted my bow since I could only pull 45#, now it is at 70#.

Well, I don't have to worry about it now. My dad put my bow in his truck today, so I asked him what he was doing and he said "Taking it to work so I can sight it in." That is solved.

And I'm not sure but I think I made a mistake putting that semicolon there, so you could have pointed that out.

Sweet, now your bow will be sighted in to your dad's eye. Maybe he can go ahead and shoot your deer for you too.

It'll be sighted in enough to land on my 2x2 target, and I can fuck with it from there.
