The main purpose of having a backdrop behind your target when shooting arrows is to prevent arrows from going beyond the target. A proper backdrop serves as a safety measure to catch any errant arrows that miss the target, reducing the risk of injury or damage to property. While a backdrop can also help make the target more visible and may contribute to improved accuracy by providing a clear field of view, its primary function is safety.
