Bounce-back from nets

We don't have a field built to exact specifications (made of wood, less chain, etc.), and we are using a full court shooter. When shooting, 30-60% of all shots hit the back of the net and bounce right back out.

This is a huge problem for us if the nets acts like that in competitions. We would really appreciate any insights from teams with full fields built to specification.
  • If discs hit the back of the box, do they bounce back out?
  • How tight/strong are the chains, and do they do a good job of slowing discs down?
  • Is there any good way to test whether discs bouce out without a full field?
  • How do the corners of the net act when frisbees hit them? (Do they bouce in to the net more often or bounce out?)

Thanks guys.
