Don't say that to the FEO! A hedge is rarely a suitable backstop. Even a good old fashioned "Cornish" hedge (read earth bank) is not a good backstop, you need to be able to see what you are shooting into, you can't see through a hedge.
cheers matt i wouldent dream of shooting square into the hedge the feild is huge and the rabbit dont come out that far so any stray shots would be going into the hedge long ways, i know its not perfect but what do you use on 300acre of billard table? what do i say to the FEO when the subject of back stops come up?
