Safety should always come first when setting up a home target practice area. Choose a location where there’s minimal risk of accidental damage or injury. A backyard, basement, or garage can be good options, depending on the type of weapon you're using. Ensure that the space has a proper backstop to catch projectiles and prevent ricochets. For firearms, a bullet trap or sand-filled box can help contain shots. For airsoft or BB guns, thick cardboard or plywood can serve as a backstop.
