GoSports Range Cage Elite — 8'x8' Sim Enclosure with Impact Screen
The GoSports Range Cage Elite 8'x8' is a compact, all-in-one sim enclosure that combines a fixed powder-coated steel frame, full side and top netting, and a built-in 95" x 93" HD impact screen — sized for tight rooms, garage corners, and beginner sim builds where a 10'x8' enclosure won't fit. The offset high-density polyester screen catches drives and high-lofted shots while minimizing ricochet back at the golfer.
Pairs with any launch monitor and short-throw projector, and the 10 L x 8.5 H x 5 D ft frame fits a 9 ft ceiling room with room to swing. Right- or left-handed friendly, indoor or covered outdoor use.

Where The 8'x8' Range Cage Elite Lives
The 8'x8' is the entry size in the Range Cage Elite enclosure line — built for first-time sim builders, single-car garage corners, finished basement nooks, and any room where a 10'x8' or larger enclosure footprint just won't fit. The 10-foot overall frame length and 5-foot depth tuck neatly against a sidewall, while the 8.5-foot frame height clears a standard 9-foot residential ceiling. Because the impact screen is built in, you don't need to source a separate screen, frame, and net kit — it's a complete enclosure in one box. Pair it with any launch monitor (a SkyTrak+, Garmin R10, FlightScope Mevo+, or similar), add a short-throw projector and a hitting mat, and you have a working sim bay in an afternoon.
GoSports Range Cage Elite 8'x8' — Common Questions
Does the Range Cage Elite 8'x8' come with the impact screen included?+
Yes — that's the whole point of the Elite line vs the standard Range Cage. The 8'x8' Elite ships as a complete enclosure: powder-coated steel frame, side and top netting, plus the 95 x 93 inch HD impact screen all in one box. You don't need to source a separate screen or DIY a mounting solution. Add a launch monitor, projector, and hitting mat, and you're set.
What size room do I need for the 8'x8' enclosure?+
The frame is 10 ft long x 8.5 ft tall x 5 ft deep, so plan for a room at least 10-11 feet wide, 6-7 feet deep (frame plus a few feet of swing room behind the hitting position), and a 9-foot minimum ceiling. The 8.5-foot frame height was chosen specifically to swing cleanly under a standard residential garage or basement ceiling — taller golfers with longer drivers should still confirm clearance before swinging full speed.
Will the impact screen handle driver shots?+
Yes. The 95 x 93 in screen is high-density woven polyester and is offset inside the frame so the netting and screen work together — mishits get caught by the side and top netting, and direct strikes hit the impact screen. The offset design also reduces ricochet back toward the golfer, which is the biggest safety concern with cheaper net-only setups.
Is this big enough for a full simulator setup, or only for hitting nets?+
It's a full sim enclosure. The built-in impact screen is the projection surface — pair it with any short-throw projector (mounted overhead or on a ceiling mount) and a launch monitor, and you get a full sim experience inside the cage. The 8 x 8 ft target area is on the smaller side compared to a 10'x8' or larger screen, which is the trade-off for fitting into tight rooms. If you have space for a 10'x8', go bigger; if you don't, the 8'x8' Elite is the right size.
Can left-handed and right-handed golfers both use it?+
Yes — the hitting area is symmetrical, so right- and left-handed golfers swing into the same target without any setup change. Great for households or buddy sessions where you swap sides between players.
Is it permanent or can I take it down between uses?+
It's designed for permanent setup. The fixed powder-coated steel frame is the reason the netting doesn't sag over time the way collapsible practice nets do. You can disassemble it if you move, but it's not built for daily teardown — most owners install it once and leave it up.

A decent primer -- no more.
Format: Hardcover
This is an odd book for one of America's premier historians. It isn't a bad book -- a person of Bailyn's erudition couldn't write a bad book -- but it doesn't hang together well. The author does not really have anything new to say and a historian of the Early Colonial Period will quickly recognize the usual sources. It is hard to see exactly what historiographical niche this book fills.
Even the title is misleading. Sure, Jamestown was barbarous enough by our standards and New Amsterdam was plenty harsh. But, the Bay Colony was, by the rough-and-ready standards of 17th century Europe, pretty civilized. (Compare it with the contemporaneous English Civil War or the Thirty Years War.) As for "Conflict of Civilizations," there was certainly enough of that but the most interesting part of the book, the last third or so on the Bay Colony, is largely an account of Puritan theological quarrels.
In fact, one senses that Bailyn felt like he was "home" when he wrote about the Bay Colony. He has, after all, written about New England since 1955 ("Merchants.") He gives the reader a clear account of the theological duels between Winthrop, Cotton, Hooker, Williams, Hutchinson and others. But, others have done this as well or better.
Bailyn all but ties himself in a knot to be politically correct toward the Native Americans. For every Indian atrocity he finds a matching atrocity in European civilization. Still, if captured in war one was likely to be a lot better off among the English, French or Dutch than the Pequods. A LOT better off!
This volume is part of a series that explores the settling of North America and hardly anyone is better equipped for this than the author. But, what begins as a good account of the horrors of Jamestown drifts into a twice-told tale of the niceties of Puritan disputation. It is almost as if Bailyn got bored half-way through and started channeling Perry Miller.
A good book in its way and quite useful for an upper division course or first-year graduate seminar. But, not well-written enough to snare the casual reader and not original enough to snare the professional historian. An odd number.

Sheds Light On A Dimly Perceived Period
Format: Kindle
This book is clearly intended for those of us (non-historians) curious about what is a dimly perceived period of North American colonial history. Living as I do in Tidewater Virginia, I consider myself fairly well versed with the earliest years of English settlement or invasion, depending on your point of view. But, I was wrong. I had, of course, read about the wretched first two years of the Jamestown enterprise, but I had no idea just how ghastly the conditions of the first twenty years of the English colonial period were. Wave after wave of newcomers simply starved or died of disease in those years. The mortality rate was shocking. So many people were dying off that the local Indians did not even think it necessary to kill these newcomers (which proved a mistake, of course). And this was not just at Jamestown. For example, the author says that in any given year in one county 30 to 40% of the children under the age of eight were orphans. And the origins of many of these earliest colonists -- orphans dumped by local churches, beggars snatched off of urban streets, prisoners marched from gaol to waiting ships, many poor people literally kidnapped or tricked into emigrating -- was eye-opening. Talk about the refuse of British society. (As an aside, anyone whose humble immigrant ancestors came to Virginia in those years can forget about doing any genealogical research. You will never find the answers to your questions.)
This does tend to be a bleak read. One of the things that jumped out at me was the sad, repetitive tale of European-Indian relations. It mattered not where one was. Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Amsterdam, New York, the pattern is always the same. Trade and early friendly relations were quickly undermined by misunderstandings, stupidity, devious tricks, alcohol, and land disputes that led to attack and counter attack and massacres on both sides.
One of the things I did enjoy was the Indians' views of Christianity. Those mentioned by the author viewed it as little more than a strange dream. When the concept of a universal god was explained to them they laughed and called it a silly fable. I can only agree. My respect for their powers of reasoning and perspicacity rose immeasurably. Just who was the savage?

Interesting, but a little scattershot (3.75*s)
Format: Paperback
One thing is for certain, in this highly detailed work by the author, there is no attempt to sugarcoat the European experience in emigrating to America in the 17th century. He examines Virginia, the Chesapeake area, New York, and New England. In the initial stages merely surviving was an accomplishment. Most of the early settlers were clueless about overcoming the harsh conditions that they found, not to mention the savagery that the natives unleashed upon them without warning. A large supply of the weak and vulnerable facilitated this peopling of America, despite the dreadful conditions.
In addition, as the author shows in great detail, are the conflicts among the settlers. America was settled during a time of great political and religious clashes in England. Most of the settlers were Protestants, but held widely differing, contentious views about religious practice. Much of the governance of the colonies was autocratic, inept, and harsh. A good many of the settlers were indentured by contract for years and thereby were practically slaves, in contrast to the well connected who were granted huge estates. But even then, the author points out that the living standards for even the rich were terrible by European standards.
The book is definitely more sociology than historical. One learns about the origins of the settlers across America and the implications for the possibility of robust communities. The author definitely does not hold back on naming thousands of settlers across the colonies; it is difficult to slog through all of that. The book does seem a little scattershot in its organization and subject matter.

UNDERSTANDING THE COLONIAL POPULATING OF THE NEW WORLD. AN ACADEMIC WORK.
Format: Paperback
Pulitzer Prize winning author Bernard Bailyn writing The Barbarous Years opens a sweeping and authoritative discourse into the peopling of North American between 1600 and 1675. From Jamestown, Virginia to Plymouth and the Massachusetts Bay Colony, who were these individuals who braved three plus months voyages on small, crowded and disease infested ships to arrive at the edge of the American wilderness? You will learn not only who they were but why some succeeded while others were destined to fail.
images
No one needs tout Bailey's credentials as historian and researcher. He is brilliant. However, what is most remarkable is his ability to keep the subject flowing, fascinating and understandable for the lay reader. Bailyn delivers in brilliant digital display the complexity and challenges of the people responsible for the early settlement of North America.
Think of this:
Why did the Jamestown fail numerous times?
Why did the Catholics establish a foothold in Maryland and the Finns and Swedes in Delaware?
Why did The Massachusetts Bay Colony begin to work from day one.? Was it religious fervor or the composition of the settlers themselves?
What role did the varied Native American tribes play in the success or failure of early settlement.
How did the Pilgrims differ from the Puritans and the aforementioned from the Quakers and the Dutch?
Were indentured servants a precursor to slavery?
Winthrop, Bradford ,Stuyvesant, Keift, Underhill, King Philips War.
The Barbarous Years that marked the original settling of America is a most accurate title for the book. Adventurers, scoundrels, orphans, preachers, doctors, lawyers, Native Americans, politicians, merchants and perhaps most important, the hundreds of unnamed families with children who came to America during the Great Migration of the 1630s , bringing with them the skills and the ethic to permanently settle on the land.
The " New World" was British North America during its early settlement but Bailyn clearly identifies the complexity of cultures, trade and geography that would eventually become America. The Barbarous Years is a fabulous foundation for understanding colonial America's formative years. Also by Bernard Bailyn: The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution, The Ordeal of Thomas Hutchinson, and Voyages to the West, which won a Pulitzer.
A wonderful different perspective of the settlement of the Massachusetts Bay Colony comes from reading Anya Seton's historical novel Winthrop Women. A second suggestion is Philbrick's book Mayflower. Search Gordonsgoodreads.com for overviews of both.

A Sweeping, Memorable Book From One of America's Greatest Historians
Format: Paperback
Bernard Bailyn offered this third volume of his “Peopling of British North America” by looking back at a far earlier period. Instead of looking at the 1760s and 1770s, Bailyn turned his attention to the seventeenth century. Always a fine writer, especially for an academic, Bailyn presented a sweeping look at the founding of Virginia, Maryland, New York, New England and other parts of the Atlantic coast. Bailyn was able to cover a great deal of ground, looking at Native Americans, Swedes, the Dutch and a host of various religious groups from England from the Pilgrims to Catholics. Scholars and general readers alike will profit from this look at the rough, often bloody, birth of America. It is easily one of the most memorable additions to colonial American history in recent years. Highly recommended.
