I'm building in a relatively limited area, so I'd like to minimize the distance between the wall and screen. Any comments on whether the different netting from West Coast Netting makes a significant difference in how much bounce back there is, when used behind the screen (ie. Archery Netting vs. PR20 vs. 252 / 420)?

I only use heavy (480g per square metre) archery baffle netting and can confirm bounce back is non existent. I'll leave it for others to respond regarding the branded impact nets as I may have misunderstood your question when you talk about "behind the screen".-
No - I think you have it right on - that's very helpful. Do you remember where you got it? -
I'm UK based so probably wouldn't help you as you are referencing West Coast Netting. Just wanted to share my experience that heavy archery baffle netting(white) is durable, no bounceback and gives an "ok" image for a very good price. Can let you know UK supplier if you want to pm me but assume it's not going to help.

I would have to believe that the PR20 would give better short stopping distance than the others. I have the WCN archery and it is very heavy and good backup netting, but not as heavy weight as the PR20. Not sure on the other netting product you mentioned. I have a couple feet between my archery and the wall (drywall) because I don't have distance constraints. I have the HQ screen (WCN PR100) with archery and it works great. Only word of caution is that if you go this route and put the archery right up against the HQ material, there will be some slapping noise as the two materials reverberate after the initial ball strike. I got rid of this noise by hanging a durable nylon/fleece blanket in between the screen and archery.
Depending on the room you have, you may be better off doing as others on here have, with a mattress topper covering the back wall. Then, place your screen material and backup netting close together, and whatever distance you have left is for the area between the backup netting and the wall (mattress topper). You can probably get away with less than a foot (~8") with this set up. The backup netting is to take some speed off the ball and the save your screen material. If your screen material gets compressed against whatever you have covering the back wall, it will stop the ball but likely wear out your screen faster. You don't want a lot of speed/spin on the ball when the screen material comes into contact with something that doesn't give. Plenty of posts on this site on the topic.
Good luck!Comment
