I'm with you on rule 2 but when you think you've got everything covered, you can still get caught out. I would never shoot outside in the garden even with netting because I know how far the arrows go and I know that the air around the outside of the netting is so easy to hit. Inside, I've thought that I was confined by the building, protected by the netting and steel door and restricted area outside. In the event, I was ok but I was let down by backstop netting that didn't do what it was there for. If, as you say, it doesn't stop arrows, why do we use it? Or is it just a case of not being used correctly? I have more than double the width that I need to cover the exposed width and I drape it like curtains so I thought that I was using it correctly but perhaps not?
