I have a 4 feet by 4 feet target in my backyard, but would like to setup a backstop as I don't want the chance of hitting neighbors...what would you guys recommend...netting, canvas, etc...?

Do you have a Tractor Supply Company or TSC near by? They have pads made to use in horse stalls. Its about 1-2 inch thick made of solid rubber. I took two of them and made my backstop out of them. Never had one go through yet.

I looked up a rubber mat for stalls on Tractor Supply's website. A 3/4" thick mat 4' x 7' weighs 112lbs! How do you hang a couple of those???

Best Regards,

If you know anyone who works at a papermill, they replace the belts every so often and they are very big, thick and free of charge if you know the right person.

I got a all rubber reinforced mat from a friend in Minnesota who was a dairy farmer. He called the mats "cow mats" that the cows layed on. Mine was about 5'x5' and about 1/2" thick. It was heavy but certainly not 100+ lbs. I would guess 30 - 40 lbs. It works excellent and I have never had an arrow even stick in it. They just bounce back. You might check some of the dairy supply places for these.
