Built this last year pretty happy with it. Horse mat is a heavy sum bitch.

Its like Bob Villa became a bowhunter. Also that stall mat is the most awkwardly heavy thing you will ever try to work with.

Ha! Hardly a handyman, saw a pic on Pinterest and winged it. Yeah I used the bucket loader to hold up while I was installing it. But it does stop a arrow by buddy would tell ya!

Great idea for a backstop. Having said that, maybe it’s old age or the fact I’ve experienced a miss fire myself but shooting in close proximity of other homes is a bit reckless in my book. All it takes is that one miss fire to send an arrow flying in a direction you weren’t prepared for. With the possibilities of things than could go wrong and what’s at stake if things did, not something I would want to risk. Just my 2 cents on the subject. Please be safe out there, not only for yourselves but for your neighbors as well. Cheers.

In NY you have to be a minimum of 150ft. from a neighboring property to legally discharge any vertical bow and a minimum of 250 ft. for a Xbow. Minimum 500 feet for a firearm or spotlight. If you get permission you can discharge beyond those distances.

That is exactly why I will always live in rural areas.
