Backstop

[dodger_me]

Hey guys,
What are most people using as a backstop? i have about 40 feet of dedicated area so it doesn't have to be portable.
In the past i have used some Styrofoam but that doesn't work that well unless you have a complete sheet and it doesnt hold up very well

Backstop??? Explain.

Place behind your targets as to not get ricochets to the groin or face region

He means some thing to stop bbs like a target. I've used a old bed spred with targets on it and the wooden box with duct seal (but that is more for airguns).

What about a extra sheet of drywall (that was cheap for me). That should last a while except the bbs will bounce back if you don't usea thick old blanket to absorb the impact.

I don't shoot my Airsoft guns in my apartment. I go to my friend's place and we use a combination of cardboard boxes (so the BB stay's inside) and his little brother.

Think some old 1 inch shag carpet would work?

Yes that is great, and put someting underneth to catch the bbs. Like a towel spreadout. Then find targets online, printout and clip onto carpet using a large paperclip clamp.

Is that 40 feet indoors or outdoors? If it's your backyard... dont.
PS fill your profile with your location at least, laws and bylaws differ per area.

Fuck styrofoam. It get's torn up like a russian whoor, and makes a mess. Just have a loose sheet behind your target to absorb impact, and a thick carpet to keep the bbs from rolling away. Simple enough, no?

[dodger_me]

it works really good, i quickly made a rig to hold the sheet and carpet out of some strapping, stops it dead

They bounce off of carpet. Just use a loose sheet or blanket as it will absorb the energy better and they will drop straight down where you can clean them up easily.
