Hey! I know it seems silly to ask here "just look at government pages" Ive given it a shot but its possible Im just not searching the right words. I live in Ada county in Idaho and Im curious if I can shoot a compound bow in my backyard against a target?

Thank you in advance.
I've spent a lot of time in that part of Idaho over the years.
First question, are you living in one of the many new developments that are popping up all over the county?
Second, If you are shooting towards a neighbor's property, you are taking a dangerous risk. I don't care how good of a shot you are and neither will your neighbors or the cops.
At my place here in WA, I have a detached garage that I can place my target bag up against under a eve. I can practice up to 35 yds.
I also can shoot up to 7 yds inside my garage to practice draw cycle and form.
I did join a local archery club that has a full walk through range.
I encourage you to be a good neighbor.
