hay-bales FTW, unless you are firing "arrow" like objects, i know a 36" wide bale can stop multiple green bean cans at 500 fps, as long as you fire across the grain, not with it.

Yeah mine was a box full of cardboard and oter plastic and garbage and I also put my speed limit sign in it, but it got tore up in only like 25 shots, so I need something that would hold up better.

At low pressure a golf ball does not require much of a backstop. Here I almost miss the wheelbarrow.

At higher pressure the search party fails to find them.
