Indoor shooting
Re: Indoor shooting
Shoot in the garage almost every night, about 10yrds. Lost count on the misses, only damage is in the osb board. Finally created a back stop to ease the pain on my wall.
Re: Indoor shooting
For a backstop I went to my local Tractor Supply company and purchased a stall mat for $20.00. I use it behind my outdoor target but would be great indoors. It will even stop a broadhead tipped arrow, don't ask me how I know.

Aim small, miss small!
Re: Indoor shooting
Tony how big are those stall matts? How heavy, and how do you hang it? Thanks.
Re: Indoor shooting
Different sizes, thicknesses, and prices. Mine is 4X3, Kirk would need 12X20'!

Re: Indoor shooting
Oops; sorry I was busy grinning and throwing smart remarks towards Kirk and forgot the rest of the question. My small one is maybe around 50-70lb?? I screwed a old decking board across the top longer than the mat, drilled a hole in each end, and tied a rope through. Hunt over a limb I cut off.

Ouch, he's getting it from all sides today! Poor Kirky.....
Im going to look one of the bigger sizes up to use myself. Most the time I keep it on a small bale, but I do suffer from target panic now and again and my shed is TIRED of it..
The element of surprise can never be replaced by persistence.
Re: Indoor shooting
I often use a small feed sack stuffed with old clothes, good to have a larger backstop for those not so good shots.
Re: Indoor shooting
Thanks for the info and the site, checked it out tonight and they look like they'll work great in the garage. Hey did't mean to cause a stir between you two, thank goodness no one has seen me shoot out here
