Seems to me bows exist for such situations....?

Check _all_ the details of your local game laws. Various places I have
lived and been aware of the laws, there was a big honking exception for
"on your own property."

Whether that is true at this time for the place you live, or not, is
something _you_ need to find out. And, as Derald says, you might also
need a bow to keep from having the neighbors freak out. The squeamish
ones might freak out anyway, but you're not forcing them to look...


I might get away with it but while state law prohibits discharge of a
deadly weapon within 50 yards of an occupied dwelling the county
requires 200 yards. I know a guy that was arrested, taken off in
handcuffs, paid a $100 fine and lost his bow just for target practicing
in his back yard. I don't need that hassle.
