Abstract
A target backstop for supporting a target in which projectiles may be embedded comprises a wall member and a plug. Both the wall member and plug are formed of corrugated material. The wall member has a cavity formed therein which opens on its front face. The plug is adapted to be releasably coupled within the cavity. A target may be placed over the plug. When the area behind the target is shot out (i.e., the plug), such area may be easily restored by replacing the plug without having to rearrange or replace the entire wall.
