- Awesome Home Made Slingshot Catch Box
After useing a pitiful catchbox made from a swing set and blanket it was time to up my game and make a proper target box. We found a rain barrel on varagesale for $35 brought it home and made an ammo recycling, 3 target catchbox in about 30 minutes that works excellent! #targetbox #catchbox #slingshottarget #catapulttargetbox #catapult #recyclingtarget - กีฬา

Just score the exact same rain barrel somebody had on the street in front of their house with a sign for free on it. Big help to see your catch box build. Thanks for sharing
Great to see some father son time shootn catapult nice catch box gonna take that and do the same thnx boss
I love that catch box. It works great and will last a lifetime.
That's just cool! Gonna make one myself. Thanks for sharing.
Lo felicito mi estimado y le mando un abrazo que bonito convivir con su hijo eso es la más grande saludos desde jalisco mexico
Going to steal this idea Thanks for sharing
Great idea! And your son is a great shot! I really enjoy your videos bro!
Thanks man.
I'm definitely going to do that, great idea.
Also maybe place a small bag or sock over tour magnet so you can literally pull up the magnet, grab the edge of the sock or bag ans pull ot off reversing it so you literally pick up a full bag of ammo as the fabric separates the ammo from the magnet and its already bagged. Make sense as I didn't word it very well.
That's a great idea man. I will give that a try.
Good job guys!!
Thanks man
Hehe! I have that same empty barrel blowing around in my yard! What a great idea! I am on it, unashamedly stealing the idea. Thanks!!
Go for it man. They make excellent catch boxes
Thanks for the ideas. I set up a barrel very similar to yours, but I didn't do the return. I am pretty happy with it. Thanks.
Really enjoy your videos and I learn a lot. Yes, it is a great idea to teach a kid to shoot. Lots of fun and a great way to also teach safety.
Agreed.
Very nice
Awesome! Thanks much!
My pleasure man.
Luv IT! Great Job! 👏👏👏
Thank you! 😄
Nice job
YES!
I like it. Nice
Thanks. Was going to build a wooden Box. But Plastic barrel like this, even garbage bin. Will work nicely
Just scored a 55 gal. blue plastic barrel. Lookin forward to a nice trap with multiple targets…….👍🏻👊🏻
Oh sweet. They make great targets boxes
I've been wanting to use some old hotwheels track at the bottom if my catch box to return the ammo to me. Great video guys. Duct tape was a good idea
That is a great Idea with the hotwheels tracks. I may give it a try when I bring it in the house for winter so I can keep shooting. #donttellmywife lol
Great build and great shooting with your boy Mark 🤙😁
Thanks Darrel. I love that catch box.....its due for some tlc though.
You can put heat shrink on the cord where the target hangs to prevent premature wear.
That is genius!
@@ATOMark quick and easy.
Have you ever tried shooting those self resetting airgum targets where you shoot the bottom four and then the top one to reset it?
They are made to withstand airgun pellets and I wonder how they would hold up with a slingshot.
I have been looking at those. I cant really shoot those in my yard but If I find one at a good price I may "pull the trigger on one" if I can find one a packable size.
@@ATOMark I believe the targets are 40 mm so the whole target might fit perfectly into your barrel without modification.
They are around $20 and decathlon has them.
@@westsenkovec I will check them out.
Nice catch box. I know it sounds stupid, but wearing safety glasses is a lot better than saying" I should have worn my safety glasses" Running a bit behind but i will catch up to your videos. Stay safe, Mark
True I should get some pairs. It is better to be safe than sorry. I hope you are doing well my friend. Stay safe!
This is a really well made catch box, good work. I am not very handy when it comes to making things, not very practical nor can I get away with any DIY stuff. I try but things just always turn out to be disappointing. Ok top of this o have very few tools. I've got very basic hammer, screw drivers, hack saw, and carpet knife. I've brought different materials to use ready,and now I'm on the look out for a candidate container. Looking at the video it's given me some confidence icxan produce a catch box, likely no where near as clean and well piut together but hopefully it'll stop and collect ammo and enable the hanging of some targets..... With all of this in mind what top tips would you have. Could I use the hack saw to cut the hole do you think or maybe even a sharp decent knife /or carpet knife possibly? And as I've jo drill do you think I'll get away with using a hole punch to do the holes without making too large a hole.,..? (Sorry if these are really silly questions, I am really this rubbish at making stuff...:)
An idea I saw the other day a chap had used the cut out section to craft a set of doors with little hinges etc. Would there be any benefit to this?
Could it be possible to cut the hole but leave hinges on one side to fold it open and use that as a door (if there is any benefit to a door (I guess ijcny mind it could keep leaves, duct and general crap building up in there. Mine 2ill love indoor between uses but in the summer I may leave it if there is no chance of rain, then a door could be handy?
Sorry again for the inane post and once again brilliant job that catch box, if I don't totally muck my one up I'll be a happy man.
Final thing want to say I found the video super useful for giving me an idea of what I need to do and how it should look, how much to cut out and things. Also enjoyed it more sewing you shoot the young one, he's a good shot hitting those 4mm at the distance you were.
I like it. Smart ideas.
Thanks man
Great vid gonna have to make myself one
Go for it man. There are lots of options. be creative.
Muito bom 👍👏
I see that fabric in the back of the Barrel has got holes in it from shooting. That is why the steel ball keep getting caught in it. I used an old pillow case
Getting ready to get started on making one myself. One suggestion I might make is to replace the paracord with some steel dowel rods from your local hardware store. The cord has nice flexibility, but the steel would have longevity. Otherwise, awesome design!
I was thinking about that but was concerned about ricochet. I even stopped useing metal flippers. I had a few rebound and hit me in the chest. This is why I went with rope. It is not so bad I can change the targets really fast and swap them easily if I want.
Love it fantastic stuff i look forward to the results of the thirty day challenge!
The first day of the quest for accuracy vlog will start tomorrow! I will be posting a video every day for the next 30 days. I may cut it down to 2 weeks depending on work load and if you guys start to hate me spamming your feed. Lol
@@ATOMark Just keep them short and include band data (cut and how many shots till failure etc) and it will be popular i am sure!
@@qutube100 I will try to keep them no more than 5-6 minutes. It should be fun. We will definitely find out what 50 shots a day will do for you.
That's a great idea! Let's see what i can find and cut up!! 👍👍
I love that thing. I want to make a second one. One for can killing and one for precision targets.
@@ATOMark nice the amount I see you shoot be well worth it having a second one! I love the size of it even i would struggle to miss it 👍😂
I too am thinking of getting a similar barrel. I was using a stacking bin from Canadian tire but it's all shot out now. Also l am using a Titan magnatic tool to recover the shots. This is like a car antena with a magnet on the tip. It can be extended to about 24"
Oh ya we use those at work to pick up bolts that fall in the machines. They work great. I should add one to my setup.
Well it looks like the only flaw to this catchbox is when you hit that metal spinner, the rounds look like they bounce out. You could use the magnet on the string and pick up the shots that bounce out I guess. Good stuff...I might to to do this myself. Thanks for the video!
I actually switched these flippers out to plastic ones from wasp after one bounced all the way back and hit me in the chest. They are fine when they are new but when they start to spoon out they start to send them back. I would avoid them if possible.
That's really cool your son shoots with you buddy does he still shoot with you.
Sometimes, but not very often. He is more I to wrestling now.
nice build guys
Thanks Dave
@@ATOMark forgot too sub there u go
@@dave1secondago thanks man I appreciate the support.
Nice build Mark! I have a heavy duty cardboard box that I will be using this winter and will make a weatherproof box for outside next spring. What are you using for a curtain (looks like polyester landscape cloth) and how is it holding up to the impacts? Cheers! ...or should I say "Cheers EH"! LOL!
I fir the first setup I was useingba thick towel with that geo textile but I switched it up with some material from gzk designd for that. Works great. I still have lots of it and over the the past year I haven't had to change it.
How many yards is that where your shooting from it looks far.
Really loving all your videos!!
Question , im also Canadian and live in alberta , is there any bands that can withstand our love temps like -20 ect ? or do you shoot inside in the winter?
also your boy sure has a great shot!!
Not bad for 2 guys who started shooting seriously in February 2020.
I use GZK anti cold black or precise pink anticold. Both work reasonably well. I haven't shot them at -20 but pretty close. -15 ish. I haven't shot indoors yet but I will on those stupid cold weeks in winter this year. Just to keep the muscle memory sharp until I can head out and shoot at my catch box.
Thanks for the kind words. I am glad you are enjoying the vids. I have an interesting one coming out this weekend.
@@ATOMark Awesome thank you very much for the into i will look into the GZK bands im still pretty new myself lol gonna try and rig u p something for a catch box
@@drolsisusej100 in my first videos I just hung some sheets to an old swing set. Man it was ugly......but it worked. Big tupperwear containers, water barrels wood boxes all work.
@@ATOMark Thank you i may just hang some sheets in a box and give it a try lol i dont care if its ugly as long as it works haha
smart:)
Thanks man.
Should have recycled a barrel or something. That one still looked fresh
It was recycled. It was in good condition but used.
cool...very nice...same with me..I always catapult playing...are you OTT maker sir? where you come from???
I shoot ott and a little ttf. I haven't tried to make my own slingshots besides natty's. I am from Canada and you?
@@ATOMark nice to see you sir, I am from Bandung INDONESIA...🙏🙏🙏
Hi Mark was wondering with this catchbox have you ever had some shots fly back out the reason is I have a pretty short garden and don't want any shots flying back threw my window or my neighbours window cheers mark
Not flying out but if you miss badly and hit the side on the exterior who knows where that will go.
@@ATOMark thank you
Any time Martina
May I ask what type of fabric you used for better Ang durable cloth
I bought target fabric from gzk
Barrel suspended in air? Cant see from where its suspended😄
Magic my friend..... all I did was drill 2 holes at the top and 2 holes on the bottom and tied it to the fence with paracord
thanks!
Mil is 1/1000 of an inch. Not millimeter.
Yup you are right👌
