Acreage Bullet Catch
AWick:
Will do. He wants me to go out and test some more prototype developments.
I work as an engineer at the place here in Omaha that is manufacturing the product for him.
Dan W:
Looks nice, but without a proper backstop to deal with misses or ricochets off of the frame, I would be concerned about the downrange implications, especially with all but expert marksmen

Definitely a consideration to make. It looks like a very nice product. The powder coated frame looks great, and I would be sick the first time I marred it with a bullet. Watching the video of shooting inside, I kept thinking...MAN! That would suck if there was a miss and he put a round through the wall of that nice new looking structure.

Nice idea, but the price seems pretty high for what you're getting. Especially since it has seemingly low limits on fps/ft-lb. For $550 bucks I'd expect it to handle 50BMG.

I was thinking the same thing when I looked at the website and saw pictures where there was nothing but flat land and a grove of trees in the background. :( I'd sure say a berm would be called for.
