Greyman 28,787 Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Well as this lockdown drags on, I’ve decided to make myself a bit of better catch box so I can really get some practice in without showering the garden and neighbourhood with ball bearings, 5 gallon container with the side cut out a bit of foam in the back and some layers of tarp over that with a bicycle spoke shaved to a point at one end and threaded through one side, through some milk bottle tops and a cider can and back out the other side, 10min build with junk from my yard and I haven’t lost a single ball this morning, 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terryd 8,529 Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Very good idea. I would need a barn for a catch box and stand really close to the door 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Wilkes 3,026 Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 I like the bike spoke and milk bottle lid Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shortstraw 476 Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Nice that......I would love to do one in my garden, but it’s like a postage stamp. Ive been taking mine up to the woods when i exercise the dogs.....I park in the middle of nowhere, but I just got back to the car and found a Police leaflet saying I shouldn’t be out there ( about 7 mins away from my house in a car).....I can understand it, but I’m away from everyone.......yet it’s ok to walk around my block with the dog which is busy than ever.....oh well. Incidentally when out this morning I took my precision band, think it’s .65 and the theraband gold. Enjoyed shooting both, you can definitely feel the lighter pull of the theraband when you compare the two, but for me precision wins easily seeming to have quite a bit more poke to it. I was shooting 25/20. Looking forward to one day having a catch box....guess I’ll have to move house first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
