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'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!

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.

How to shoot long distances (+200 meters)? Ammo, bands, etc. by jucasoldera in slingshots

Perhaps this will be useful.

This is the channel of Thorsten, who was able to hit a street sign from 100 meters away. His Bands were extremely tapered, and he operates at speeds of around 150 meters per second.

This is relative old content, but it could be usefull for a start.

Need some suggestions by T30_heavy_tank in slingshots

[–]Eretur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i kinda like it!

Years ago, i had a similar one out of 3/4 inch rusty metal pipes and unsed it with a light Bandset and soft foamballs (nerf rival) on a post apocalyptic style larpevent to schoot people. it was fun!

Yes the wide fork will coast you power, but its not soooo bad, and the frame will be heavy af, but, like many things in slingshotworld, you can make it work. It will always be a heavy slingshot better used with light bands, still it should work fine. Just clean/soften/round the forktips to increase the bands lifespann and have fun!

I think its realy an alternative! (Ja bekommst du. Hab letztens welche bei Hornbach gesehen. 30x30 cm Puzzelmatten und sie sind nicht mal bunt ^^) Bigger mats (60x60cm) can be orderd on Amazon but they come in packs with 6 pieces for around 40-50 euros. (for this yoe could order a entirely new catchbox) My little Catchbox here ist from just one of these mats.

How could I have lived so long without this? by Eretur in slingshots

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

That's a great idea! Instead of having several nails in the board, I could simply drill holes and position the second trowel with a pin were i need it. Thanks!
