Is it possible to make a durable/storable target backstop? Want something that would be easy and convenient to just be able to take out to shoot and then get out of the way as I live in a not so open place.

Not sure how much moving blankets are but the horse stall mat was 50 bucks at tractor supply. 66 pound bow from a few yards away, arrows stop dead in their tracks.

See a guy stack foam flooring/mats and put a through bolt through each corner with a make shift top of wood so when you tighten the through bolts it'll squeeze the mats tight. I'm still looking for something at a decent price though.

would a broadhead punch through the stall mat?
With the oversize wheels I got, it's easy to push but also stable enough to stay in place and not roll around when you don't want it to.
Yes, when I tested it with my broadheads I had a full pass through. I tested it with a second stall mat about 4' behind the first and I was not able to get through both mats. Now I double up whenever I am using broadheads.

My buddy and I are about to make a back stop. We have Horse Mat thats 6ft x 4ft. I have all the notes on my phone (currently on my laptop). If you're interested in the dimensions and what we're using just lmk.
Because I kept watching videos on DIY backstops, but they never seem to have the dimensions listed in the video or the description.

great ideas
How thick is your stall mat? My 3/4” thick mat is probably closer to 100 lbs (feels like it at least).

The frame alone was roughly 30/40 lbs I filled it partly with sand to help stabilization with my target stand all functions as on piece.
The stall mat is 3/4 in 4ftx 6ft that is roughly 80/100 lbs respectfully. I built it so my son and I can shoot our bows together and get ready for season.
