No sure if this is the right spot for this topic but as I'm building one thought I would start it here.
The family and I enjoy shooting but living in town it is hard to find time to head to the range every week. So I'm thinking of building my own pellet gun range.
I want something strong enough to catch the pellets so they don't bounce all over the place. My plan is Build a box with the rear wall slanted at about 35-45% so the pellets bounce down into the bottom where I'll place a rubber matt. But over all light enough to set up in our basement or move to the back yard.
Something kinda like this. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...e=395165&creativeASIN=B001BR1Q72&linkCode=asm
Do you guys think 16ga slanted would stop pellets under 800fps? If not I might buy two sheets like

I know BB will bounce a lot more so might have a problem with them but don't plan on useing those.
Even if I buy two sheets I should be under $30 total. I already have some of the stuff in scrap wood and left over screws.
