BLAST, Bullet, Lead and Shrapnel-Shield Technology is a specifically formulated natural sheet rubber for highest tear resistance and self-healing qualities.

Positioned between the target and the backstop, BLAST is designed to prevent the return of bullets, shrapnel and lead dust. Some of the features and benefits of BLAST include:

  • BLAST™ has self-healing qualities for longer lifespan
  • BLAST™ main color is black, other colors available include: red, white, tan (natural) and custom colors (available under certain conditions)
  • BLAST™ provides a safer & cleaner range (protects shooter/less clean-up)
  • BLAST™ is ideal for all types of ranges, curtain or wall applications and should hang freely to effectively reduce the velocity of the bullet on impact
  • BLAST™ offers better waving on impact due to high modulus and tear resistance
  • BLAST™ is cost efficient; withstands repeated shooting with a variety of calibers
  • BLAST™ offers significant noise reduction
  • BLAST™ reduces airborne lead dust and diminishes dangerous ricochet
  • BLAST™ has been tested in military and law enforcement facilities
  • BLAST™ can easily be rotated or switched from one firing point to another to spread the load and extend its life
