JVD White Archery Backstop Net for Archery Ranges
The JVD White Archery Backstop Net is a secondary arrow-catching layer designed for installation behind the main archery target butt.
Standard – Approx. 300 g/m²
The White Standard version has an approximate surface weight of 300 g/m².
JVD positions this version primarily for lighter archery setups.
Extra Strong – Approx. 450 g/m²
The White Extra Strong version has an approximate surface weight of 450 g/m².
It uses a denser high-density construction and provides a greater margin for more demanding use.
Why We Do Not Use a Universal Poundage Limit
Backstop performance cannot be determined from bow draw weight alone.
It also depends on:
- actual bow performance,
- draw length,
- arrow speed,
- arrow mass,
- shaft diameter,
- point design,
- shooting distance,
- impact angle,
- net installation,
- net condition.
Hang the Net Loosely
Loose installation is one of the most important requirements.
The net needs freedom to move backwards when struck rather than behaving like a rigid wall.
Safe Space Behind the Net
A safe area must still remain behind the net.
The net is an additional safety layer, not a guarantee that every arrow will be stopped under every condition.
Indoor and Outdoor Use
Both white versions can be used on indoor and outdoor archery ranges.
Mounting Rings
Mounting rings or eyelets allow the net to hang from its upper support and move freely.
Steel Cable
A steel cable is included according to the supplied mounting configuration.
A separate suitable supporting structure is still required.
Choosing a Width
A 3 m net can suit a smaller shooting station.
A 4 m version provides more lateral coverage.
A 5 m version provides the widest coverage among the listed variants.
Beginner Training
A wider backstop can be particularly useful when beginners have a larger shot spread.
It does not replace an appropriate shooting distance or proper instruction.
Clubs and Archery Schools
The JVD net can be used as part of the backstop system for:
- archery clubs,
- archery schools,
- sports halls,
- organised training,
- public archery programmes.
Regular Inspection
Before shooting, inspect:
- the netting,
- mounting rings,
- steel cable,
- support points,
- tears or damaged sections.
