LinaX Premium Natural Rubber for Target Backing
LinaX premium natural rubber delivers exceptional performance and durability as a target backing curtain in some of the world’s most renowned shooting facilities. With impressive strength, resilience, and self-healing properties make it a trusted choice for safety and longevity.
For decades, shooting ranges have relied on our LinaX premium natural rubber products as a permanent solution to protect shooters, thanks to their:
- Outstanding resilience, strength, and resistance to cutting and tearing
- Unique ability to ‘self-heal’ after a bullet passes through
- Enhanced protection against ricochets and airborne lead dust, improving shooter safety
- Significant noise reduction from gunfire and impacts on rear armor plating
- Compliance with strict safety standards for shooting ranges
- Long-lasting wear life, regardless of the type of ammunition used
Installed between the target and the backstop, LinaX premium natural rubber target backing curtains hang freely and are designed to prevent bullets and backspatter from reaching shooters.
The self-healing properties of LinaX premium natural rubber ensure superior performance and extended service life, making it the preferred choice of top ballistics experts and elite shooting ranges, including those operated by military and law enforcement agencies.
A white version of the target backing is also available to improve target visibility for camera-equipped ranges and scenic shooting environments—ideal for training scenarios involving film or slide projection. The reflective surface enhances lighting around the target and makes it easier to spot shots on dark targets.

Important Safety Information:
- LinaX premium natural rubber target backing curtains are designed to reduce—but not eliminate—the risk of injury from ricocheting bullet fragments. They are not bulletproof. Do not expose the rubber curtains to open flames or temperatures exceeding 100°C.
All individuals present when targets equipped with LinaX premium natural rubber are in use must remain cautious and aware of the potential for stray fragments.
- Do not use low-power ammunition or air rifles with targets backed by LinaX premium natural rubber curtains.
- These curtains do not upgrade a range for use with higher-caliber ammunition.
- Curtains must hang freely and should not be fixed at the bottom.
- Ensure continuous coverage behind all adjacent targets, with each curtain overlapping the next by 10-15 cm.
