Archery is a fascinating sport that demands precision, concentration, and skill. While a archer's technique and equipment are crucial for success, safety also plays a pivotal role. One of the most critical safety measures in archery is the arrow stop.

In this blogpost you can read about safety rules in archery.

Safety Aspects in Archery
Safety in archery encompasses several facets, with the protection of people, animals, and the environment taking precedence. Depending on the type of bow and draw weight, arrows can achieve high velocities and significant penetrating power. An uncontrolled arrow can therefore cause serious injuries or property damage. The arrow stop primarily serves to safely halt the arrow's flight, thereby minimizing the risk of accidents. This is especially crucial in populated areas, outdoor training sessions, or temporary shooting ranges. A reliable arrow stop ensures that arrows missing the target do not continue flying, thus preventing potentially hazardous situations.

Extensive tests have shown the Dura Arrow Backstop Nets to achieve impressive results with various types of arrows and bows. Notably, they exhibit an extremely low penetration rate with ultra-thin carbon arrows and carbon arrows with larger diameters. This performance is achieved through carefully selected materials and precise manufacturing processes. The yarn used, which carries the Oeko-Tex certification, ensures that the nets are not only effective but also environmentally friendly.

Certifications of Dura Arrow Backstop Nets by Bearpaw Products
The quality and safety of Bearpaw Products' Dura Arrow Backstop Nets are underscored by two significant certifications: ISO 9001 and Oeko-Tex. Both certificates are globally recognized and represent high standards in their respective fields. This section details what these certifications mean and how they ensure the quality and safety of the Dura Arrow Backstop Nets.

ISO 9001: Quality and Process Optimization
ISO 9001 is an internationally recognized standard for quality management systems, issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This certification ensures that companies have implemented effective quality management systems that are continuously improved to meet customer requirements and enhance process efficiency.

Significance of ISO 9001 Certification
The ISO 9001 certification demonstrates that a company can deliver products and services that meet customer as well as legal and regulatory requirements. This is achieved through the following measures:

• Customer Focus: Strong emphasis on the needs and expectations of customers.
• Leadership: Committed leadership that sets clear goals and motivates employees.
• Process Approach: Viewing and managing processes as interconnected to maximize efficiency.
• Continuous Improvement: Persistent efforts to improve in all areas of the company.
• Evidence-Based Decision Making: Decisions based on the analysis and evaluation of data.

Oeko-Tex: Confidence in Textiles
The Oeko-Tex certification, specifically Standard 100, is an independent testing and certification system for raw, intermediate, and end textile products at all production stages. It was initiated by the International Association for Research and Testing in the Field of Textile and Leather Ecology (OEKO-TEX). Significance of Oeko-Tex Certification The Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certifies that a certified product has been tested for harmful substances and is therefore harmless to health. The tests include:

• Prohibited Substances: Checking for legally banned substances such as certain dyes or pesticides.
• Regulated Substances: Testing for legally regulated substances like formaldehyde or heavy metals.
• Chemicals Harmful to Health: Checking for substances that are not legally regulated but could be harmful according to Oeko-Tex criteria.
• Preventive Measures: Additional testing for harmful substances, even if not explicitly regulated by law.

The Role of Certifications in Product Quality
Both certifications play a crucial role in ensuring the quality and safety of Bearpaw Products' Dura Arrow Backstop Nets. They guarantee that the products meet the highest standards and fulfill customer requirements.

Versatile Applications
One of the greatest advantages of the Dura Arrow Backstop Nets is their versatility. They are available in various sizes, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. Whether in your own garden, during training sessions, or at archery clubs, Bearpaw Products offers the right solution for every situation.

The nets come in lengths of 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 25 meters. This variety allows you to find the appropriate protection for any shooting range. For small gardens or individual training sites, the shorter nets are ideal, while larger nets can be used for club facilities or more professional environments. This flexibility ensures that every archer finds the optimal protection for their needs.

Application Example: In Your Own Garden
An example of using the nets in your own garden would be a 3 or 5-meter long net set up behind a target. This not only protects the surroundings from stray arrows but also prevents damage to the arrows by gently backstop them.
If you are looking for a simple and compact solution, we recommend the Dura Arrow Backstop Set. With this product, you can easily and conveniently set up protection in your garden.

Backstop Nets
Installing the arrow backstop nets is straightforward and can be easily done with the provided instructions. For those who prefer visual support, Bearpaw Products offers an online guide that explains step-by-step how to properly install the net.

Accessories and Spare Parts
These include plastic hooks and PVC-coated steel cables required for attaching the nets. These parts are included with the nets but can also be purchased separately if they need to be replaced. If additional hooks or more steel cable are needed, these items can be reordered at any time. This ensures that the net is always optimally tensioned and securely fastened.
Backstop Nets is to protect the surroundings and the arrows. Their robust construction and high material quality provide reliable protection against penetrating arrows. This is particularly important in residential areas or near sensitive objects where a stray arrow could cause significant damage.

Besides protecting the surroundings, the nets also contribute to the protection of the arrows. An arrow that flies into the net is gently caught, significantly reducing the likelihood of damage or breakage. This is especially advantageous for expensive carbon arrows, which can be easily damaged upon impact with hard surfaces.
