Dadsaster:
I live in Vancouver, WA and I'm interested in starting to learn to bow hunt now so that by next fall I'll be ready to go out for deer.  I only have enough room for 20-25 yard target in the backyard.  I know there is a range near me and I plan on taking some lessons.  I'm wondering if there is somewhere I can go and shoot at longer distances when the time comes.  There are several playing fields near me but I have no idea the legality of shooting in public spaces.

P man might know.

Sandberm:
Do you have a bow? What kind? Traditional or compound?

Have you deer hunted before?

Go to a archery range, most ranges have from 10-50yds. That is usually about the distance you'll be shooting. Watch YOUTUBE, don't pay for lessons. Pretty basic honestly.

Dadsaster:
Thanks for the responses.  I've shot targets with traditional bow and arrow as a kid.  I've shot a compound bow once or twice.  I have about 20 years of rust to knock off.  I haven't purchased a bow yet and am looking to check out my local pro shop this week.

I would imagine that range fees add up quick.
