Re: Practicing in your back yard
I hope you can shoot at home, kids love it. Though I would recommend getting the kids some professional lessons as well. A good teacher will know how to explain proper stance and help to avoid mistakes we all make. Most archery clubs have good programs for kids and at reasonable prices (at least I know they do here in Quebec).
This is my youngest with his Browning re-curve in our yard. I buy him cheap fiberglass arrows for practice as they tend to disappear in the hay fields once in a while. For the moment he's shooting instictively and by next year I will be adding sights into the equation.
He loves to just walk into the yard to shoot.

Whoever coined the phrase "Quiet as a mouse" has never stepped on one.
