My daughter and I have recently joined our local club which shoots sunday mornings, I would like to be able to practice more frequently so considering a garden range, I shoot Compound (Bowtech Tribute) about 50Lb, daughter also compound but about 25Lb
we have a double width plot so certainly have the space for a 20 yard shooting range, my concern is safety, I am happy with the controlled access to the shooting area.
Behind the proposed target I would erect a 3m high Backstop net (possibly Era heavy Duty) Behind this is a 2m high shiplap garden fence, some chunky sycamore trunks then it is the neighbours back garden, followed 15m further by a road.with other houses beyond
The target itself would be a full sized circular Boss giving a reasonably large margin of error,
As far as I can see, im OK unless we get an overshoot, in which case im screwed
The trees behind are 6m high so I have the option of putting a second higher net at say 5m height
What do you think or am I being a bit ambitious
