Thanks Murray,....But actually I use a kind of 'rubbermaid' tote (Canada Post) with carpet squares hanging in it and a piece of heavy rubber behind them for extra security.....The rubber is like a conveyor belt or truck box floor protector........I use denim for making pistol sacks so they don't rub each other in the carry bag.......I also use old leather from full length coats (sally ann) to make 'sleeves' for my Kentucky long guns......Just clarifying....Oh yeah, the best thing about the tote is having a lid on it so it can stay outside and be weatherproof...............that's it.........

In my indoor ranges I use metal junction boxes (holding target on with the ceramic magnets from HD) with duct seals (which needs a cleanout) or a great wooden trap/target box with denim in it that Thumper makes. Behind them is also hanging car floor matts from the liquidation world or cheep rubber floor mats like at home depot.

At the farm outdoors I literally shoot a the board side of the barn... depending where I place the target I am shooting dirt, old silo concrete foundation or 3 foot thick stone foundation and plywood over the nearest window just in case.

Hope this helps.

Always better safe than ... well not safe really... no need to wait for sorry... usually to late.

Hi i Have seen alot of people use or make a box lined with ductseal 4 inches or so should stop even very fast pellets easy.
