Seahawk and blackvelvet beat me to it
I wanted to follow up and say there is A LOT to cover in your garage to 25 yards. Reps is the key. Can't beat going through your shooting montra (sorry just what I call mine) - stance / grip / draw / anchor / - you get the idea. I do plenty of just blind bale shooting to make all that second nature.
Do I challenge myself with long distance shots - you bet. I enjoy it. Also no better way to throw $20 into a bunch of trees to never be found again if you push it a little to far!

Any time I get a new trad bow I start at 5 yards. I put a target of a blank piece of cardboard or white construction paper and put 6 black dots about the size of a quarter on it. One arrow per dot. Don’t move back until you can shoot all 6 arrows into the black. Touching counts. Then go to 10 yards. Then back to 8. Then 15. Then 20. Etc. it really helps you build your form. Now with my compound I started at 10 and I’m just moving back 10 yards at a time.

:yeah: once your pins are set and every shot is essentially the same. My backyard is only 14 yards but it's plenty how to build muscle memory. I shoot 10 perfect arrows and night and whether I'm feeling good or not I hang it up after 10. Fatigue will build bad habits quicker than anything so if you keep your practice session short you'll mitigate that. Adding Bungie exercises can help build draw strength more quickly.
