We discussed building these for our outdoor club range. One of the objections was that the compressed carpet can be abrasive on arrows. Has anyone experienced this?

I shoot one that I made out of old used carpet, we shook out as much dirt as we could. then stacked and compressed. so far over 1000 shots with the same 6 arrows and I see no arrow wear.

I have seen the GT trad pattern wear off using the carpet back stops at Ben Avery range here in Az. I donot however know how long these folks have had those arrows. Personally I have not had any issues but I foot my carbons with 2" of alum shaft. Do not know if footing helps or not? I also use CE Heritage with no issues.
