When constructing a backstop, you’ll need to ensure you have enough space to build it. Depending on the size of your backstop, you may need anywhere from 3-5 feet of clearance in front of it and up to 20-30 feet of support behind it. Make sure you have enough room to quickly stand and draw your bow comfortably without worrying about obstacles or other obstructions. Additionally, consider the height of your backstop – most archers prefer a backstop that stands at least 6-7 feet tall.
