I'm not one for fire arms, but I picked up a break-barrel air rifle (Beeman RS2) I built a "silent" pellet trap to hold targets, (see the Instructables website, http://www.instructables.com/id/Making-a-better-soda-can-for-plinking-with-a-fitt/ and http://www.instructables.com/id/Making-a-portable-Silent-Air-Gun-BBPellet-Trap/ ) yes, got all the safety accoutrements to go with it - but I want to build a safe, inexpensive backstop before I start shooting.
I've seen references online to a "ballistics curtain", but it costs over $1.3 K (my budget is far, far less than that). Does anyone have more information on that material? Where is it available? Are there alternatives to it? I was considering canablizing two wood pallets, making them into a flat, perpendicular outdoor surface, and getting a horse stall mat (4' x 6' x 3/4" made from recycled tires) mounted in front of the wood. Placing the pellet trap in front of that.
Other suggestions? Thanks.
