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.
My brother is three deep without anything inside the tires (used mainly for pistol with steel plate rack in front). I helped him move it so he could put a berm behind. Most of the bullets didn't make it to the third row of tires and very very few made it thru the last set (I suspect the 300 WSW and the 338).
