Easy Build Slingshot Knockdown Targets

- Hitting microscopic targets in one shot are fun, but I wanted to challenge myself and my consistency to see if i was ready for any tournaments. So, I purchased a set of microfiber targets from @simpleshot , did a little research on the World Slingshot Association website on the specs of how to space them, repurposed a cardboard box, slapped on some duct tape and slashed away with a box cutter and viola, I made myself a knockdown target mount!
Man, lemme tell you, they're not as easy as I thought they were! The pros do it from 15 meters in front of a venue full of people and only get 5 attempts at 5 targets! Let that sink in as the ginormous 80mm messes with your mind, all alone, in your backyard! 😂
Brilliant idea!!! Thanks for sharing!👊🙏
Hey Can! Thanks brother! It's not exactly weatherproof but it'll last a while until it shreds. hahaha. Maybe I'll try carpet tiles next time. Appreciate you saying hello man! Cheers!

This is so simple and genius.
Thanks Patrick! I had lots of boxes lying around and felt bad throwing them away. I'm glad they're getting used (and abused) one final time before recycling. Cheers brother! I appreciate your leaving a few kind words 😊
wow this is a fantastic idea👏. thanks for sharing brother🙂👍
Glad you liked it brother Z! It's so much fun and it's not as easy as I thought. hahahaha. Thanks also for the kind words. Hope everything's going well with you! 😊
Good idea, great way to critique shooting.
Thanks brother! I had lots of cardboard boxes lying around and didn't wanna throw them away just yet. lol. It's much harder than I thought! Give it a go 😁👍
Great idea, I like the fact of not having to dodge the ricochets! Good shooting too, nice video.
I was thinking of welding a nice complicated one with hinges so the targets don't go flying from an old bed frame but it's been too cold to get any work done. lol. Glad you liked the video brother and I appreciate the kind words 😊
I would suck so bad at that bc that level is where it just feels weird to me. In the field I have never shot at anything 1.4 meters off the ground while I was hunting except maybe a bird here or there. It's just a weird spot for me. I feel very uncomfortable. Which means I should shoot it more. Heck, who am I kidding, I don't get shoot much anyway.. awesome video brother loved it and great shooting.
I honestly find that hard to believe! lol. You'd easily go through 4 racks without a miss man, and the only way you'd screw this up is if you'd tank the competition cause you'd feel sorry for your opponent. Haha. I'm also unsure if this style of shooting has any survival application, so my money's gonna be on you any given Sunday to bring home a meal. I appreciate you brother! 🙌
@Three Stars And A Sling no matter how long I go without shooting I still can shoot and hit things, it's just being able to do it constantly over and over I struggle on. My life has been so busy the last 8 months it's crazy. I don't see it getting less busy anytime soon either. Your awesome brother keep it up.
Great video and a fun project.
Thanks brother! I felt bad chucking away a pretty box. hahaha. Now I've got an endless supply of non ricocheting target platforms anyone can build at work 😄😄😄 Thanks for swinging by 🙌
Nice knock downs. I used small hinges on mine so i dont have to pick them up. Plus once i knock them down, i can shoot them back up again.
I'll definitely do that brother! thanks for taking time to share the suggestion 🤘😝
This is a great idea 💡
Right on! Thanks brother! I have a bit of a weather proof version I'm working on so I can just leave it outside. Happy Shooting!
Great video buddy,you need to do a video showing how you made it.
Great video 👍
Thanks brother! Glad you liked it 😄
What an awesome video and idea, great stuff
Thank you brother! Im a big admirer of your videos. Real chill and easy going. I just enjoy shooting stuff, nothing serious 🤓👍
@@threestarsandasling like me! 😀🙌🙌
Great idea!
Thanks Zach! Man, you gotta try it. It blew my mind how scrambled my mind got seeing all those targets in a row. The pressure! 😄 cheers brother!
I like this a lot! I bought the spinner set from Simple Shot when I bought my Axiom Ocularis, but I've been shooting them 1 at a time in my catch box. You've just given me a great idea! Take care and shoot straight.
Glad you like it brother! So, it's gotta be 4'7" off the ground and spaced at 100mm between targets. It's so much fun especially when you imagine a crowd watching you 😂😂😂 Have a great time man!
I subscribed and hit the like just because of your reaction when you missed 😂
Hahahahahha 😂😂😂😂 I never would've thought my pain of missing would get me a sub and a like, but ill take it! Hahahaha. Cheers!
Very cool
Man great idea! Looks like a blast!
Appreciate it Randy! Yeah, seeing all those targets together increases the distraction and anticipation of finishing the rack as quickly as possible. It's stressful to say the least. hahahaha 😅
Such a cool little setup! Definitely going to have to rig up something similar.
OMG, the 80! 🤣What is it about the big targets that throw us? Hit a quarter? No Problem! Pie Plate? Swing and a Miss! 🤣
Trick shooting is such a different mindset than knockdowns or paper. It’s almost like Every shot is being judged for pinpoint accuracy where trick shots is chill and “Wonder if I could…?”
Hahaha! Thanks Robert! Glad to know I'm not alone in this struggle. Man, I thought these knockdowns were a walk in the park until I tried them 🤣 I would scoff at even attempting to hit an 80 because it was a no brainer, but was I so arrogantly wrong! Hahaha. Strategy? "Should I go for the 40 first? " Doing so lets your confidence go up but it messes with your head to relax and shoot a flier on the last and biggest one. I love it! I'll be watching out for a video of your version. Cheers! ✌
🤣 truth! Ill spend the day shooting at quarters but miss my 4 incher...and the target....🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fantastic idea brother, awesome stuff! Like the idea of using cardboard to prevent ricochets. Good shooting as always 👍👊🙂
Glad you liked it man! Thank you! I had a bunch of cardboard boxes lying around, it was a shame to throw them away 😄I might fab a more weather proof version with some scrap metal lying around. hope everything's good fam!
Great idea! Nice shooting as well!
It's such a treat hearing from you Todd! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Btw, how do I get to purchase frames from you? I have to get a forkshooter frame in my life 🤗
Great stuff mate , and bloody good honest shooting 👍👍💥🍻
Thanks brother! This was actually 4 rounds but opted not to include the other one because it was so embarrassing I didn't want to waste anyone's time watching misses. Hahahaha. The magic of editing. Thanks for saying hello and glad you liked it!🎉
So great!! Ty bub!
You're welcome man! It's a fun little set up which is both challenging and humbling at the same time. That 80!! Have a good one brother 😉
@@threestarsandasling The 80 is like Robert said....elusive at times....🤣
Great set up. Ill be making one soon for sure.
🤘
That's a good idea, I used magnets for mine
Thanks! I just had lots of boxes I refused to throw away without repurposing one last time. Not weather proof tho, so I might try the magnets too! Cheers man!
Subscribed!
Right on! Thank you & I appreciate the sub! Enjoy the content 😄👍
nice shooting brother and great set up 👍
Thanks Darrell! Had to give these Amazon and Walmart boxes one last purpose before chucking them in the recycling bin. lol. "let me die already"!! Appreciate you dropping by!
He disparado contra tela, lona, manta, toalla, etc. Todas terminan destruidas y abujereadas de que tela es la cortina azul que pones detras del objetivo?
Esta super esta idea...😎👌🏼👍🏼
Saludos desde Mexico
Hola hermano! uh, no habla español. poquito! 😄👍 tela = cortina , todo bien. Gracias para tu commentario! Saludos Amigo!
That’s a really nice, cheap and clever replica!!👍 great job! A lot of fun. 💪🏼What size of ammo do u use?
Hey man, glad you like it! I was using 8mm ammo (my preferred size). Also, I think missing with 3/8s might obliterate it. Hahahaha. I'll try building one with larger spacing between targets (100mm) to get the real feel of comps 😁 Cheers Ed!
Great shooting buddy,you should make more of them and put them on eBay,I would certainly buy one.
Thanks Ian! hahaha. They're pretty simple to make! Go to SimpleShot then buy a set of targets for $8, grab some duct tape, an old Amazon box (around 3 feet) then slice holes and space the targets 100mm apart. Tada!😁 Clip them anywhere!
No good they keep falling out,not good for my back.
I'd use my knees to pick stuff up from the ground or one of those picker up tools 😂
