But yeah you gotta be extremely sure you have all bases covered. Even an old blanket hanging off a line is an excellent safety precaution (believe it or not this will stop a single slow moving target arrow.) I tried it as a kid, my mother woukd have throttled me but to my surprise it did catch the arrow

And it will catch low powered air rifle slugs also. Unfortunately arrows can go a bloody long way and do a lot of damage if you miss! I must get a longbow again.
