GREENFIELD, Ind -- If you shoot a bow and arrow or crossbow in your backyard in Greenfield, Indiana, you may not be able to for much longer.
Next week, the Greenfield City Council will consider a ban on backyard archery.
If it passes, the only place you'd be able to shoot would be at an archery range.

Shooting guns, including airsoft or BB guns, is not allowed in backyards in Greenfield.
The bow-and-arrow proposal came after some people complained about bows being used near kids and pets.
"I think if you have a privacy fence and use common sense, then do what you want," Karen Wadley of Greenfield said. "But if not and you have small kids around, then it's a safety issue."
The Greenfield mayor said he is in favor of the proposal and bows should be classified the same as other shooting equipment.
