    Hello my friend, good test of the back stop. Take Care.

    horizontal velocity is independent of vertical! same stopping power, because the arrows enter at a different angle they travel different distances thru the rubber, therefore different penetration!
    great video my man, thank you! i am going to look into picking up some 2x4 and a rubber mat tomorrow!

    Good test of a budget friendly option!! I was surprised how well the backstop performed. Awesome backup 👍

    Looks like the back stop is going to do the job. I might have to build one of those

      Very simple and relatively inexpensive. Except for lumber nowadays?

    the best target i have used has been compressed cardboard layers , we used all thread and 2x12 frame and a couple hundred layers of cardboard stacked and compressed with the all thread . the layers stop the arrows with friction between layers and lasts for years . no scuffing or residue on the arrow , just do not use waxed cardboard the arrows will not come out . the stacked cardboard target we used had paper targets pinned to the front for practice for an indoor dot shoot . use a good foam deer target for broadhead practice , they have trouble pulling out of the cardboard and inserts pull out .

    Awesome video man thanks so much I actually am halfway done making this exact backstop and was worried about penetration however I’m good now I’ve spent days trying to find a backstop video like this but everyone is using a lesser
    Material than stall mats like I am

    I need an opinion, I was asked this evening if a 1/4" rubber mat would work behind a hay bale if the arrows are target arrows fired off of a 30# draw fiberglass bow? I thought that is would be plenty of thickness but would like to hear your input.

    • @After5Outdoors
      @After5Outdoors  2 роки тому +1

      Alot of variables I think. Distance is one factor, are you talking square bale or round?

    If you use a stall mat it needs to swing. That way you won’t over penetrate. The backstop can’t be rigid. Place styrofoam panels on your metal walls just as a precaution.

    @bobbydenezza7795 2 роки тому +1

    If you're saying the horsemat can damage your arrows why are you shooting your arrows into them lol? I shoot the same exact arrows. FMJ 340 11.3 5mm and I have a horse mat I use as a backstop as well. The horsemat I use is less than 3/4" thick. It's like 7/8". Since mine is thinner and if the FMJs are made of aluminum and durable material, do you think my horse mat would still damage the arrows?
