backyard range help

[GEARHEAD]

got a 25 yard backyard, wondering if anyone can recommend a material for a backstop, 4x8' that won't destroy an arrow if i foul up, hay is out, wondering of some sort of boarding material foam etc. any ideas welcome.

there is some building foam out there that is great if you put a few of them back to back the stuff i have is blue i use it to rebuild my older block style targets but i think they are 4x8 so a couple of them back to back will work good for ya i am sure.

Dock foam works great and occasionally a guy will find it floating in the sea for free.

Stuff burlap sacks full of old plastic wrap materials.  Tarps, bags, thick mill plastic (like for ponds)  All of that kind of stuff.  You might even be able to find old tarps and such at a junk yard.

old rubber truck bed mat will work

Great minds think alike, i was just thinking of that, as i have one on the garage floor, will use it to backup the foam boarding, thx for the tips. now just gotta hope nobody calls the 5-0

straw works ok backed with carpet. if the carpet is very close to the back of the straw then you dont have to worrk about flect damage unless you shoot a very short arrow
