Looking for options on bullet traps for indoor and outdoor ranges for IPSC matches. Sand filled, wood on wood, whatever you got let's see some ideas. Easily portable would be nice. And I'm not looking for rolling snail traps or anything like that. Simple easy to construct, temporary even if not portable.

At EESA we have built 5 portable bullet traps...........they work great.
Two are about 20 inches wide and 5 feet tall.
one is 8 feet long and 4 feet high]
One 6 feet by 4 and one 5 feet by 4.
The smallest one is still a first generation that uses rail road ties in two layers with an armoured back. However it will be upgraded to generation 2 that use layers of conveyor mat instead of the ties and a sand bottom
All are on caster wheels and can be moved by one person (2 is better on the large ones).

IPSC Alberta has built a couple of indoor matches. they are a wooden frame,with a middle chamber, the front board (where the targets are hung) is backed with a piece of conveyor belt, then there is a space and then metal plate on the inside of the back board. we use them quite successfully at indoor matches. i have seen them hammered by open guns at distances of under 5 feet with no blow back and no holes on the floors.

I can take some if you like.......
You would not have seen the new "singles" as we just built them this past spring when we upgraded the others from the tie versions.
Let me see what I can come up with.
I don't know. Except for taking the pics, I didn't stop to examine them and I don't know where they were manufactured. The pics are from the basement range at Ames. Their website is http://www.amesrpclub.com/

My plan does not cover that function........
I did it once and got NAILED for about $30 in charges.
I will upload them when I get to the office.

The concepts are the same. Armoured backs on angle. Conveyor mats in front. about 8 inches of sand on the bottom and wood fronts.
We need to PAINT the wood before our next match as the targets vanish in the background.
