Go outside the city limits.

Sell it on craigslist. You obviously bought something you have no use for.

flu flu arrows?

I might just try rigging up some space in my garage. Might have to shoot from the street to get good range though..

They are short range arrows that help you not shoot someone downrange when shooting at aerial targets.

Just look up an indoor archery range in your area.

Shoot it in your house?

Make an arrow catcher and pin a target on it.

Phone books work; they're pretty small, though, so I guess you could get several and make them into a board (make sure there's no gaps that the arrows can pass through)

Stacked cardboard works well too; several inches thick

Stealth archery how-to:

1) Hay bale diy archery target (very quiet to shoot into, can be explained away as mulch you never got around to using).
2) A tuned recurve, or better yet a longbow, with yarn string wraps and yarn silencers.
3) Glow in the dark duct tape: placed strategically on your bow riser, and just before the nocks on your arrows. Also to make a small glowing target.

Setup the hay bale to make some sort of shooting lane from inside your house. Surely you have a back door, a window, something you can shoot out of at night?

With an optimized setup, the most your neighbors will hear at night is an innocuous "thwap". Just charge up your glowing bow, arrows & target with a lightbulb. Your eyes will get sufficiently dark adapted within 10 minutes, and the glow tape will last for hours.

Nobody will suspect a thing.

Sadly, this is not bait. Pic is not me. I tried my first actual run with it last night. Thankfully I have a very understanding wife, for now.

Since your bow riser is closer to your eyes, you don't need as much glow tape as you'd think. It would also help to use the tape on a couple other surfaces, to give your brain more visual cues: your wrist or armguard, or spread out about the riser.

Using glow tape on the arrow shafts near the nock was another matter; it simply wasn't visible, since you're looking at the arrows end-on. There used to be nocks made from glow-in-the-dark plastic, but you can't find them anymore.

Lighted nocks, like Lumenoks or Nockturnals, would of course be perfect, but they start at $10 each, and take some figuring out. Lumenoks appear to be carbons only, no bushing. Nockturnals appear to work fine with aluminum shafts with bushings, yet the batteries are not officially replaceable without a little hacking. They also take a bit more effort to turn off.

It should go without saying, you should be doubly sure of your backstop and shooting form, else you'll be doing a bit of clandestine arrow retrieval, possibly from a neighbor's yard, car body, or unlucky pedestrian.

That's funny. I moved to Alameda CA 20 years ago, and every night around midnight in the apartments next to mine I'd hear someone shooting an air pistol or air rifle just like this. It went on for months, and nobody ever seemed to notice.

Minneapolis has lots of free public archery ranges, sorry your city doesn't. My local gun range has archery, but you might need to throw them a few bucks.

Leave the city, find a nice hilly field on some kind of public land and use a hill as a backstop.
