I'm not shure where you live, but in a few months lakes will be frozen solid and are a flat as a table. That's the only chance I have for distance shooting.

Don't the points snap off hitting ice? :o

Can you describe your arrow stop net in more detail? is it designed to catch arrows with out damaging them or a safety for the garage door if you miss the primary target.
I have been hoping to put together a net type affair that captures arrows with out damage. My thought is multiple layers of a wispy lightweight backing spaced apart might give the arrow a way to decelerate slower than hitting something more dense and massive. Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.
Digital Caveman:
If there is snow on top of the ice the arrows are usually fine. I have had some wooden tips get damaged, but most arrows just stick upright in the snow. There are only a few days a year when the conditions are perfect, (for example 12" ice, 3" snow, and 55 degrees and sunny) but it is worth the wait.
DC:
About once every 20 years the lakes freeze enough to skate on.
I'm interested in the arrow net too. The only time I saw it you had to buy too much and it became very pricey.
