Hey yall.I was just wondring what the best back stop is.I prefer something that may just be laying around in the garage or something.

Loosely hanging carpet works well.

We were throwing out an old mattress recently and I thought "why not?" I have a short indoor range in my shed and tied it up behind a U-Stuff-It target. So far it is working great!

I like to use the dirt located behind the opposite shoulder!

Gene Roberts · December 17, 2007, 08:41:00 PM

So just hang it up by the very top of the carpet.Then let it hang,does it really work that well.Does the arrow go through or does it hit and bounce off.

Gene Roberts · December 17, 2007, 08:54:00 PM

Not that I need one or anything.

Double layer of carpet with a piece of chip board about 2' behind it (just in case).

Carpet works great.you can find it in the dumpster behind a carper store.just build a frame with 2x4s.you can use more than one piece if you want for security.replace when neccessay for free.

Ha, ha, ha, ha.....I can tell you.....two layers of 3/8 drywall that are 3.5 inches apart isn't enough. I've been very curious about a "better backstop" myself. The two layers of hanging carpet is what I was thinking of.

I use an old braided 9x12 rug. It works excellent for me with 2 layers.

The backwall of my house has stopped every arrow that hit it. Oops, guess i'm not getting my security deposit back huh?

Matt S · December 18, 2007, 06:28:00 AM

I have heard that those rubber floor mats work good as backstops. Thats really all I know.

Gene Roberts · December 18, 2007, 07:35:00 AM

Well thanks
