I like it pretty well other than when i shoot poorly and hit to close to the edge when shooting for the outside dots. It's a real pain in the a** to get arrows out.

Here's my old one.....

Range, 20 yds



Backstop




Currently working on my new one.

I had that problem, started using "scorpion venom", target arrow release fluid.  That helps a TON!   :tup:

Is there a secret to getting arrows out of that dreaded black matting that hangs behind your targets?
 The range at Granite Falls claimed 2 of my arrows I couldn't get out for the life of me and a couple other guys. 1 on the flat and one on the walk through.

Jackelope, kinda.... 

The "dreaded black mat" is conveyor belt material, generally the kind used on rock crushers and hog fuel grinders.  The stuff that GF (and Machias) uses is pretty fresh material, so it's not worn down very much from use.  The material I used was abused pretty bad, in service well past it's intended lifespan, making it not nearly as tough and a lot thinner (but still plenty to stop arrows).  So, the stuff I have doesn't hold onto your arrows nearly as bad.  I lost a couple inserts at Machias to the black mat of doom.  I've never had an issue removing arrows from the worn out matting I have at home.

You could... but you'll have to get back down off the roof to get your arrows just as often :chuckle:
