FAQ

1. Are your backstops a safety backdrop or a target?

They are a safety backdrop made to catch errant shots without letting them hit the ground.

2. What kind of arrow and tips can be stopped by your backstop?

All kinds of arrows and any non-blade practice field tip.  Our stock backstop has been tested to 303 feet per second.  Our heavy-duty backstop has been tested to 363 fps.

3. How long does it take to ship?

All standard orders should ship within 3 business days.  They are shipped ups ground.

4. How will it stand up to the weather?

Officially we ask that you store it indoors.  We are currently testing them outside and it appears as though they should hold up well outdoors.  The best we can tell is that they will likely fade and eventually get ugly but should perform well.   When wet they may not stop arrows.  Water generally runs though them but they should be allowed to dry for 12 hours or so. 

5. How long will they last?

Judging by the testing we have done on these we have found that it is simply a matter of  how many times you hit them.  If you see more than 10 to 15 holes in a certain 1 square foot area or you have an arrow go in up to the fledging you should rotate the way you have it hanging.  If you get to a point where the whole thing is covered with holes you can fold it in half and you should be good again for a long time.

6. Can I have one made to my own size specifications?

Yes typically these can be made for $3.33 per square foot + shipping for the standard 303 fps backstop.  The heavy-duty model costs $4.33 per square foot + shipping.   In many cases you may be money ahead to order multiple stock sizes and piece them together to make your layout.  This is because shipping costs get higher when you get beyond our stock sizes.

7. What are they made of?

They are made of multi-layered recycled plastic fibers positioned in such a way that they stop the arrows energy much like a bullet proof vest.  This is covered with industrial felt with grommets around the perimeter.
