A setup involving an impenetrable barrier used to safely discharge an “infinity” crossbow refers to a configuration designed for practice or testing where projectiles are stopped reliably without risk of ricochet or unintended penetration. This typically involves a dense, durable material like specialized foam or tightly packed, layered fabric specifically chosen for arrow stopping power. An example would be a thick target block placed against a solid backstop in a controlled environment. This controlled discharge setup is crucial for testing the crossbow’s functionality and accuracy without jeopardizing safety.
Safe discharge practices are paramount for responsible crossbow use. A secure backstop prevents potential accidents and property damage. This controlled environment allows for consistent practice, improving accuracy and proficiency. Historically, archery and crossbow practice has always necessitated designated areas and targets to mitigate risks. Modern materials and designs now provide significantly enhanced safety and allow for repetitive practice without the need for constant target replacement or repair.
