With this targets there is a significant chance someone could shoot the target at an angle they might not like. Not so much a problem at 400 yards...

There is also the problem of bouncing a round out of the range if it comes off at a bad angle. Most pistol clubs would have serious issues with that.

You'll want to make sure you have a decent sized hill as a back stop, as a large caliber rifle could go a long way if you hit it while it is angled to the rear.

Yep, that is normal practice for us anyway...
