A target material for use in a target for shooting bullets, said target material comprising a screen embedded within a rubber sheet such that the screen is encased on both sides by the rubber, wherein the screen is of sufficient size and strength that it imparts an overall plastically deformable characteristic to the rubber sheet, and wherein the screen interstices are approximately the same size as the caliber of bullets to be shot at the target.
An elastomeric composite comprising a screen covered with a ballistic fabric and embedded within a durable elastomer such that the fabric covered screen is encased on both sides by the elastomer, wherein the screen is of sufficient size and strength that it imparts an overall plastically deformable characteristic to the elastomeric composite.
