Hey, I'm new to the forum so hello :),

I've brought a boss to shoot at in my garden, and i'm buying some wood tomorrow to make the stand, but how high should the boss be or rather - how high should the centre of the target be from the ground?

Many thanks in advance and I look forward to contributing more to the forum.

130cm or 4'3" from the floor to the cross/pin in the middle of the gold.
That's true for competition requirements but just for home use it is safer to have a lower boss so you are shooting down and any misses will go into the earth not travel.
If you have a high and solid back stop then GNAS target height is fine.



Eat, Drink, Shoot, Enjoy.

In field archery the target can be anywhere.. But I find the majority of the targets are on the ground so it makes sense to practice shooting targets there..
