Shooting Range Rubber for Bullet Traps, Berms & Backstops
Shooting range builders and operators use shredded rubber as fill material in bullet traps, berms and backstops. 24tons supplies two materials: 4–10 mesh SBR truck-tire buffings, sieved to a consistent size and magnet-cleaned, for traps and backstops; and unscreened raw buffings as a lower-cost option for berms. Both are delivered in bulk. Range design is by your engineer/installer.

Refills and top-ups
