Anti-Shatter Mat

When pellets are bulk blow delivered its important the surface at which they hit can bend to reduce pellet degradation. Its common practice to have at least two mats, more on larger stores that overlap. This overlap of at least 8 " 200mm allows the mat to bend backwards as the pellets hit the mat.
