David, Your on the right track for a home made bullet trap. If I am reading you correct, you have a 9 square foot area by 8 feet long filled with sand? If that is correct, that will stop almost anything in my arsenal. Most certainly the .22LR, 9MM & .45ACP calibers. Let me know if I got your post right as I would not want to lead you astray. Good luck. "Those who willingly give up freedom for temporary safety deserve neither freedom or safety" |

Hello, I take it you mean a personal range? Is 3' high really giving you any room for error? I'd seriously consider making that quite a bit taller if that is the case. |

At one of my local ranges, they are using hollow walls made of 6"x1" rough sawn timber filled with a 6" thickness of scoria, and it stops ALL pistol calibers at ALL ranges including point blank. Another range I looked at had Alluminium sheathed polystyrene (freezer/chiller wall) against earth for a sound proof indoor rifle range. I hope these ideas help. 'LEST WE FORGET' |
