Default RE: I would like to build an archery backstop.Any suggestions?

For a target backstop,one thing that I am going to put together(and I think it will work)is some repair screen.I am going to double and /or maybe tripple it in thickness,then span the upper part with rope and tie the ends off from tree to tree,then I will leave the bottom loose to float, so that when arrows hit it willmove tohelp stop a blow through.The screen material I have actually seen in some bag targets,it is made of what looks like fiberglass or maybesome fabric of a sort.It's not cheap though.
