Hi all. I wanted a big backstop for my revolution and crossbows/bows of friends so competitions would be possible. I also wanted it big enough to save missed arrows fired from afar. It works 100% and leaves no damage to arrows. I got the idea for this from the internet. All materials were unwanted, so it was good to make something of nothing too!


Pic size is for 17" monitor, hope that's okay.

I'm doing okay although this body I am in isn't doing so hot. But the Lord is giving me a new one, so why worry about it?

Yeah it can be interesting when it hits the garage wall! Gives a big spark and sometimes goes right through the mortar! But I couldn't put the target out on the field since if I missed there it might just keep going through the fence and into livestock nextdoor :)
