Idea: Staging Area Shield

General Information:
The Idea is to place a Shield in front of the staging area to prevent random Paintball from entering.
This is a safety must, but I don't want to sacrifice the airflow if possible.

I have an Idea to use the Elephant Wagon a Shield. It is tall enough and long enough to block the entrance.
It would be place about 6 feet from the entrance and players would have to walk around it to enter the field.

It would also be easy to move when access to the barn was needed.

If we're worried about airflow, I could maybe contribute a box fan to stick by the staging area. I also have an awesome old metal one that will gloriously take off a finger if you get too close. Thankfully, the metal guard on it is far too large so that is a possibility for our entertainment

What about getting some kind of mesh shield eventually, I think that's what they have at a lot of ranges.

Also, fan = good

I also thought of that, a mesh shield would be inexpensive to build.
I will experiment with this option for next season.

The wagon shield is a quicker option, and as it is a safety concern I would like to get some measures in place to address it ASAP.

If we're playing Sunday, remind me and I'll head over to Dad's other house and grab it.
