Product Overview
The Bownet QB5 Portable Practice Net is built for quarterbacks to work on short passing accuracy anywhere. Its five sock training pockets give players clear targets to aim for during drills, while the net stays stable and upright after repeated high-intensity throws.
The net uses Bownet's E.A.S. (Energy Absorption System) technology to diffuse ball energy across the netting, reducing stress and tension on the material to extend its lifespan while adding flexibility and stability on impact. The powder coated steel frame includes non-marking rubber feet, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use without damaging surfaces.
Set up takes just 90 seconds with no tools required - simply insert the BOW-poles into the ground base and slide the canvas cover and nylon netting into place. The complete package includes the QB5 netting, ground frame, stakes, BOW-poles, and a weather-resistant carrying bag, making it easy to transport, break down, and store between practice sessions.
