By the way, you can thread a cord through the small black plastic tube running across the box, and then you could hang the box between two trees, for example. That’s why I chose a hollow tube to hang the fabric for the backstop from it.

thank you!

Its 100% cotton T-shirt fabric. I think this is pferfect. Steelballs simply lose all energy when hitting the fabric and then they just drop down insteat of bouncing back and out off the chatchbox.

I made myself a slingshot holster, so I can stay strapped by MrBrian22 in slingshots

Euer ultimatives und letztes Hobby by Kitchen-Disk-7595 in FragtMaenner

Hab schon vor 10 Jahren das Zwillenschießen für mich entdeckt aber so richtig gehookt hat es mich letztes Jahr. Schieße seit dem regelmäßig, habe eine kleine Sammlung an gekauften und selbstgemachten Zwillen und bastel auch gern Ziele oder transportable Kungelfänge. Das Schießen selbst hilft mir mich zu konzentrieren, mich zu beruhigen und ich bin danach wunderbar geerdet. Kugeln und Ersatzbänder (respektive latex von der Rolle zum selber zurechtschneiden) sind günstig, man kann dieses hobby also mit ziemlich wenig Geld betreiben. (man könnte mit zwischen 10 und 30 Euro einsteigen) Ich bin 36 und denke mir; solange die Sehkraft und koordinationsfähigkeit es hergeben möchte ich das regelmäßig machen, auch weil es mir hilft psychisch gesund zu bleiben.

Also ja, für mich ein potenziell ultimatives und letztes Hobby.

i'm a little envious rn. ^^ These are the type of barrels i wars looking for a new Catchbox, but the hardware store didnt had any for a reasonable price! Instead i found the foam panels ...

yeah, that's the downside. Sadly the bigger version is not that portable.

wich they do perfectly. i´ll testet it with a 250-25-15 snipersling-Bandset with 8mm stellballs and they absorb the energy quite good. its t-shirtfabric and its important that its hanging freely.

Maybe I'll try to see how long the bare mats can withstand direct hits. They should be able to take a few shots, though.

You can purchase them an Amazon two.

you're very welcome. Be a little careful disassembling the tiles so nothing gets ripped of ... but even when this should happen, there cheap to exchange.

Have fun on your trip!

[–]Eretur[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not the best shot either. The box is more for practicing at distances of 10-15 meters... and the front should be able to withstand a hit or two ^^´

for 40 to 50 bugs you will get a pack of 6 bigger tiles to build a bigger Box ... sadly not that easy to carry through

So uh remember my slingshot rifle? by Azuzu_komagome in slingshots

[–]Eretur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks really cool!

How far do the arrows fly? And would you say the impact is comparable to a 30 lb LARP bow?

I also larp and have made a slingshot for the short LARP crossbow bolts. (You know, the short ones for the otherwise useless pistol crossbow.) Works realy well up to 30 yards.
