If we use rubber belting in our berms we have to cover it with sand-dirt to a certain depth to stop the bullets from deflecting off the rubber, so why do they want the gongs hung from rubber????? Some of our backers are rubber belting and they work pretty good as they are self healing but a pain to pull staples out.

Yeah, this is what I'm worried about. Get told something over the phone, build it, then get told to take it down or change it.
So, a shroud or a tunnel is a given I guess, but 260's range has on steel brackets? I would rather build brackets out of grader blade or something that will last so the guys aren't fixing non stop
