Umm. Nice target set-up, but I hope you don't shoot at it right where it sits. grin Does the roll of paper reside in a piece of sewer pipe at the bottom, and emerge through a slot cut in it?

The truth is you don't need to catch 99% of the shot. The only pellets you need to catch are the ones inside a 30" circle. You can calculate what percentage of shot hits there by factoring the number of pellets in the shell. Beyond the 30" circle, you need about 12" to make sure the pattern is centered where you want it.

More than 30 years ago I bought an end roll from a paper company for next to nothing, and I still have it. We also use it for covering picnic tables.
