Looks like you are all set to go.

You might consider putting a little air space between that plywood and your garage wall. That way a high arrow might not hit your wall as it passes through but is stopped by the plywood.

We have a Tractor Supply Store in town that sells those small and medium sized trailers. They all come with a good sized fairly dense Styrofoam block that the trailer tongue rests on. They soon throw them all away. I use them for kids targets, and to practice with my broadheads, but a friend glued a dozen or so of them together and made a backstop wall. I can only assume he must have used a hot glue gun. You could put them in front of you piece of plywood to save your arrows from damage. You could even give them a quick coat of paint to keep them from standing out, as they come in white.

Hey...I resemble that remark!

Well, got in another 20 minutes or so this evening, maybe 4 dozen arrows? I'm starting to feel more comfortable and confident when I shoot every few days or more! The bow muscles are coming back to life and my release is getting more consistent. I only hope I can keep this up. One thing I need to work on; my arrows make a very definite "thwap!" when hitting the block, not the silent "swish!" the straw bales used to make. Silence is your friend.

Play a little music while you are out there.

In a Gadda da Vida would work on your stereo.

Prolly got it on 8 track somewhere around here...
Actually, I was thinking Nilsson's "Me and my Arrow" would be good...

So the land of point is in your back yard?
I actually have that album, The Land of Point.
