I live in a semi-rural area but the houses are going up slowly and I am looking to try and make a decent backstop in case the neighbors get nervous about my very limited shooting. Making a dirt berm or most any high berm is not possible due to the wife not liking how it will look I have been researching everything I can find on the net and here. A steel bullet trap seems good but I have an issue with possible ricochet that I can't seem to get over. I really like the rubber block/thick rubber sheet method but the prices are crazy expensive. I looked into shooting into a wooden faced box filled with sand but the removal of lead and constant upkeep seem like problems. This will be used for 10/22's and nothing bigger than .38 revolver rounds. Say maybe 200 rounds a month max. Give me any and all ideas on what you all made/bought/etc.. to do this in a safe manner. Thanks a bunch everyone.
