Ballistic Rubber Panel/Tile for Airgun Back Stop

This is one of the best products we have found to use for a back stop in AirGun applications. Easy to pin targets to, quiet, catches lead, and can take many hits. Currently installed on our indoor range, which receive extensive use. Your are purchasing the Ballistic Rubber panel/tile only, no additional back stops included. 

Available sizes are: 

Match Rifles shooting flat wad cutter pellets at 600fps on a 10 meter range expel enough power to penetrate the ballistic rubber. We would consider this the minimum velocity to penetrate the rubber.  As in any shooting scenario, safety glasses are always recommended. 

Manufacturer suggests gluing these panels to a suitable backstop. On our indoor range we laminated this product to 1/8" steel plate. We also created movable panels that are used indoors and outdoors as bench rest backers. We bent the bottom lip to form a shelf for standing plinker targets and drilled a single hole in the top to hang on various range stands. This worked well for us. 

Ballistic Rubber panel/tiles are designed to reduce ricochet, splatter and airborne lead. Ballistic rubber panels/tiles can be easily mounted to existing infrastructure of concrete, steel or wood and used for ceiling or walls. 

Contents: Shredded recycled rubber, urethane binder
Process: Cold pressure molding
Density: 55.5 lbs per cubic foot
Durometer: 60+5
Flammability: UL Flame Spread Rating
Design: Captures rounds of to 7.62 and 5.56 mm x 45MM without ricochet or splatter
Install: Industrial adhesive to steel, concrete, or wood
Durability 2000-2500 round, dependent on round and distribution.

RAW HM1000X

Another HM1000X ships out of the shop and wanted to take a minute
and capture some pictures and show how beautiful these rifles are.
 I believe the silver rings this customer choose,
 helped to accent the other silver features already found on the rifle.


Michigan winter winds and below freezing temperatures
negated the use of the outside range, but 5 shots as 50 feet indoors
prove the accuracy of this rifle.
Shooting 940fps/49fpe with .25cal JSB pellets
Indoors at 50 feet - 5 Shot Group - .070 center to center
