When I was around thirteen, I got my first recurve bow, and every weekend I practiced really diligently. I feel like I got pretty good for a casual archer. But having to wait for the weekend and going to the same indoor range just to shoot my bow for an hour or two got boring. So as life got busier, I stopped shooting as much. Alas, this is my sad tale. Now I'm 22, I live in a new area, and got a new awesome 50# recurve bow! The only problem is, I don't have the time or the money to go to an indoor range, and I'd just run into the same problem. I feel like my backyard is big enough, I called the city and they said so long as I'm not shooting at other people's houses or if I have a large enough structure in the path of my shot, I was clear to shoot in my yard. At the moment I'm looking at shooting at the side of my garage where it's probably around 10ft wide and about as tall. I don't think I have quite 30ft of distance, maybe not even 25ft, but don't quote me, I'm really bad at eyeballing stuff (I haven't done exact measurements on anything, so I'll update this when I do). I'd like to get a backstop that is capable of stopping my carbon fiber arrows from a 50# bow, and it needs to be tall enough and wide enough. If needed, I'm willing to spend upwards of $100, but only if I know that it will actually do the job. So, does anyone have any ideas? Any backstops on Amazon that I haven't seen that'll definitely work? Is there a preferred material I can use to make my own, like layers of carpet? Is this even feasible? There is a trail somewhat nearby my house running next to the highway. I could call the city and ask if I can set up my target there when I wanna shoot, but I really wanted to be able to do it in my yard, plus I don't want to lose my arrows.
