The tires wont shatter like wood, just absorb and then go back to natural shape. They are cheap in most places, too. Easy to make up and define the area you want to use, stack neatly without falling down, etc.I am using several railroad ties stacked and secured with T-Posts and behind that, five stacks of used tires in a sort of staggered configuration, three stacks then two stacks. I haven't done it yet but they will soon be filled with sand but even now, they do a pretty good job of slowing down anything that manages to pass through the railroad ties. With the sand in them, I'm sure they will stop just about anything I throw at it.
