Scrap=Project
« on: May 26, 2010, 02:36:00 AM »
I had some leftover peices of landscaping timbers, 2x4s, an old door my wife was throwing away and some carpet a neighbor was throwing out and turned it into a tagret holder/backstop.  Cheap is good @ my house.   :archer2:

Really similar to what I have in mind after some other threads here on targets and backstops. I like the "roof" idea and that's a good way to layer the carpet. I have the odd "flyer" though that needs a bit more backstop size. Perhaps NO backstop would focus a fellow more.... Nice work.

I just can´t help wondering what kind of pounds you are shooting to back up your target like that!!! Looks like it could stop an RPG round!! Ha ha!! Nice

I really like the way you ran the carpet, one of the best ways to stop a miss out there!

Well done!

Cheap is good at my house too, Skotty.  Useful is even better.  Nice job!
