JVD Green Archery Backstop Net for Outdoor and Club Ranges
The JVD Green Archery Backstop Net provides an additional arrow-catching layer behind the main target butt.
Its green colour makes it particularly suitable for forest ranges and natural outdoor shooting areas.
Standard – Approx. 300 g/m²
The green Standard version has an approximate surface weight of 300 g/m² and is primarily intended for lighter archery setups.
Extra Strong – Approx. 500 g/m²
The green Extra Strong version has an approximate surface weight of 500 g/m².
Its denser construction provides a higher safety margin than the Standard version.
Green Extra Strong vs White Extra Strong
Green Extra Strong is approximately 500 g/m², compared with approximately 450 g/m² for White Extra Strong.
This comparison relates to surface weight and must not be interpreted as a directly proportional increase in stopping performance.
No Universal Poundage Limit
Backstop performance depends on much more than bow draw weight.
Important factors include actual bow performance, draw length, arrow speed, arrow mass, shaft diameter, point geometry, shooting distance, impact angle, net installation and net condition.
Loose Hanging Is Essential
The net needs freedom to move when struck.
It should not be stretched tight like a rigid wall.
Wide 10 m Version
The 10 × 2.7 m Extra Strong version provides very wide coverage and can be useful behind several adjacent targets or a wider club shooting line.
Approximate Lane Coverage
3 m – approximately 1 lane
4 m – approximately 1–2 lanes
5 m – approximately 2–3 lanes
10 m – approximately 3–4 lanes
These figures are organisational estimates rather than fixed safety standards.
Indoor and Outdoor Use
The net can be used on indoor and outdoor archery ranges.
Outdoor supporting structures must account for wind loading, particularly with wider nets.
Mounting Between Trees or Posts
Suitable fixed points may be used when the installation is secure and properly designed.
The steel cable does not itself replace a suitable supporting structure.
Inspection
Before shooting, inspect the full net surface, mounting eyelets, cable, attachment points, cuts, tears and damaged sections.
Broadheads
Broadhead compatibility is not confirmed.
Cutting blades can damage or sever net fibres and should not be used without explicit manufacturer approval.
Compound Bows
Compatibility cannot be determined from draw weight alone.
Fast, narrow carbon arrows can create demanding conditions for textile backstop systems.
Crossbows
General crossbow compatibility is not confirmed.
The net should therefore not be advertised as universally suitable for crossbows without specific manufacturer confirmation.
