Did some measuring the other day and found a very nice, flat shooting alley that will give me stations up to 45 metres. Only challenge is that 12' behind the 45 metre post is the 18" thick drystone wall of the old cowshed. Arrows that hit it die the real death.
Thus the question of the day for the Braintrust . . . has anyone used archery backstop netting with success? Shortest range would be 12 metres, longest 45 as mentioned above. Doubt it will see anything over 42# draw weight. But with my wife's growing interest, grandkids, and the occasional local interest in archery I can see more use of it than by yrs. truly only.
The stuff is expensive, so I'd want some pretty good assurance that I wouldn't be throwing money - and arrows - away on something that kinda sorta worked only some of the time.
