I'm looking for a cheap alternative to the back stop nets, if one exists. I'm shooting in my own 4 acre field, not a back yard, I have over 110 meters of my own land in any direction and depending which field my neighbour has their horses in, at least another 120 meters. So safety wise I should be fine.
Without a net I'm happy with my recurve and horse bow up to 50m away on a 2ft target. However I'm now trying to setup and practice with my compound, which almost shot through the clubs net on the indoor shoot (fletching tape stopped it).
Has anyone tried using say old velvet curtains? It doesn't matter too much if it goes through, because I'll have at least 60m of my own land behind it, just as long as it slows it enough so I don't have get the metal detector out.
