Thanks! HAHA Your right about the eye bolt..... It was the only long one Home Depot had. I use it more to tip the box upright than the purposed handle. The picture is with two bags of mulch. I did run back over and get another two bags. I added one and kept one for settling. The tile was penetrated with 900fps at 50 yards. I got the tile at Home Depot also for $10 each. I will have to buy a couple extra in case they quit carrying it."Tominco"Nice job!
I especially like the "almost" self healing tile. That was a great idea and something I'll have to look into! I don't think the steel plate is overkill. However, the wind ribbon holder looks to be a bit stronger than necessary. lol
It looks like your mulch is quite deep. You could probably run some test shots with firearms.
I would caution you about shooting near the top of the box. In fact, I'd recommend marking your tile a few inches from the top as a no-shoot-zone. That mulch will settle and it looks like you didn't fill it all the way (pic5). So, the top won't have any mulch to stop the pellet.
Do the pellets blow out the back of the rubber tile?

"Ravenred"Very nice! Dose anyone have a good idea for cheap DIY wind flags?
Well if you want to go the really cheap way. Get two tee posts and use a nylon string between them. And tie survey tape every 5 ft on the string down the side of your shooting lane. I got that idea when I put up a new electric fence and put tape on it so the horses would notice the new fence. Its amazing how many directions wind can be moving in 50 to 100 yards. It takes just a min to cut the string between shooting sessions and just leave the green posts.

I think using a couple tiles in the back would be sufficient. The rubber does slow the pellet."jking"Dirte, I bet it would work fine even without the mulch. I couldn't tell how thick the steel plate was but 1/4" should be thick enough to be quiet when hit with soft pellet especially when coupled with the sealing rubber face matt. Did you by chance try it without the mulch? Great job though regardless. I'd need about 5 when you get time..
