If you use tennis balls, slice it in half so you're not chasing it down the road...good luck

If you use tennis balls, put a slice in it or cut it in half to remove the air so you're not chasing it 40 yards down the trail.     Good Luck

Thanks, I hadn't thought of that.  I tried it yesterday with a small wiffle ball cat toy and in addition to breaking it, it shot 20+ feet across the yard.  Never thought a little wiffle ball would fly that far lol.

To me, "sending" the target ball is the satisfying part of the fun!  If I send the tennis ball 20-30 yards with a good shot, I have my next target already set up...

Also, I fling the ball and let it bounce where it where it wants to randomize my practice.  YMMV!

Traditional bowhunting is often a game of seconds... and inches!

It is fun to watch it sail.  In my case though, that would send it sailing onto the neighbors properties and I don't want to be that person constantly crossing over to retrieve balls.

Good point. :laughing:  I live on a 400 acre farm, so don't have that particular problem!

Happy shooting!
