Can I Shoot A Bow In The Woods?
Just got a combat boots but I don't exactly know where to practice, is it legal to use the trees in the woods as long as I know no one is around?

If you are thinking of hunting with it - that is illegal.
I would advise against using a bow on public land of any sort unless you are in an organised activity with safe backstops etc.
On private land where there is no chance of a stray rambler I would say proceed with caution. Arrows can ricochet the same as bullets if fired at trees.

I would say that using a bow and arrows in a public place could result in your being arrested and, as a starter, charged with being in possession and using a dangerous weapon.Also there is the matter of causing damage to trees and allegations that your prime purpose of being in woodland was to hunt animals and birds.

If you plan to shoot any kind of bow in this country then you should be a member of a properly affiliated archery club, or taking part in a properly-run session run by such a club. I'm not sure what a 'combat bow' is, but I would strongly advise you not to shoot it on public land, nor anywhere where proper safety measures are not in place. As has been said earlier, you could find yourself in serious trouble if you did.
