Abstract: A practice ground for a bow and arrow hunter which allows the hunter selectively to position the target at various locations from a shooting area, to shoot arrows thereat, to retrieve the targets to ascertain the results, and to retrieve the arrows in the target, all without leaving the shooting area. The practice ground has a stand built into a tree simulating a field-type shooting area, a target, a target supporting tow line, and a plurality of stanchions with pulleys supporting and guiding the tow line. The tree stand includes a manual drive mechanism for moving the target to and from the hunter.
