This is a yes and no question because it all depends on where you live. If you live within city limits, you need to check the requirements of the law that the city limits have set. And even if it is not stated, it can still be illegal to shoot a bow and arrow if you are not careful. And if you don't live in city limits, you still need to check county and state laws and always be careful when shooting whether it be in your personal yard or a practice range.
