Thank you for the great tip. I really appreciate that you showed us how to make this for free when you sell both catch boxes and ammo, and this tip may cut into potential sales of both. Very cool of you thank you!
I already knew this would be an easy build, but I'm glad you already have this simple design documented for us. Thanks! 👍
This guy is a genius when it come to slingshots and peripherals lol.
I just made one and it works great! Just make sure to follow his instructions exactly. Make sure to leave at least 2-3" behind old shirt and make sure old shirt can move freely. I got fancy and used a plastic storage container because it was what I had. Because I didn't have the flap of a cardboard box, I did have to place a scrap piece of wood to the very front to keep ammo from rolling out, but now it captures it all.
Thanks for sharing. A catchbox makes all the difference!
That was simple enough. Thank you for all your videos on all things slingshots.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Nice quick build
Totally novice with a catapult this is so simple to make .
Brilliant mate great video 👍
Thank you, glad you liked it
Very simple very effective, but I like the ones you guys sell, I've got 2 of them, thanks guys.
Glad you like them! Thankyou!
Damn! so simple and cheap. I'll make me one! thank you.
You are very welcome!
Instead of a can I think the best thing to use is a bottle cap it’s about the same size of vitals of birds like sparrows
Place a long strip magnet like the one you get for usually a buck at Harbor freight inside the box to collect the ball bearings for you. Just be sure not to buy stainless steel ball bearings, because stainless steel is not magnetic
I have an old wooden box that I plan to use like this. Great info and video, thanks for putting it up!
Just add some cloth and you are good to shoot.
Think it would work really well if the paracord went through the sleeves.
I made one a long time ago. Works well.thx 😉😉😉
Yes sir thats all you need. Thanks for this one
Glad you liked it! :)
Great idea , i made one and put SS wasp target , but whenever i shoot projectile went out of the box ! will try that
How would this do with 50 and 68 cal steel balls?
Excellent job! Thanks for the info.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks. Thats also how I plan to make my velocity box to measure the audio peaks across a measured distance of 2 suspended paper targets on either end of the box. Or course a free version of an audio editor program installed on either a smart phone of tablet to run the software.
We'd love to see the results!
awesome
Hey!!! Hahaha I recognize that Shirt hahaha
Just make two holes in the side and pull the sleeves of the t-shirt through. Save the paracord for something else.
Thanks 🇨🇦👍
Our pleasure!
Made one got straight to use ong it in my room with a co2 pistol it works really good
They work very well for the airsoft ammo as well!
Nice. I'm going to make one this weekend. Haven't been able to shoot since the end of July because I got my hand crushed in an elevator accident.
Oh no. That sounds awful. Hope you get back to shooting soon!
Bloody hell Nathan you are using a really nice t shirt.
Stupidity on my part. Hand got caught in freight elevator doors. It's a lot better now.
We aren't shooting it! It was just to use an AWESOME shirt for the tutorial.
Yikes!
Made one of these, 3/8 steel shot went straight through. Any ideas on how to keep it from doing so?
Simpleshot sells plastic balls ammo is reasonable and won't do damage to things it's like Nerf ammo
I have been making multiple catch boxes problem is I can't find a target that will be quiet on impact. I live in a small apartment and everytime the ball hits the target it sounds like I'm shooting off a 22. I'm so afraid someone will complain that I'm firing guns in here lol. Bb guns of course, I assume someone would have enough common sense to know im not firing actual bullets. I have tried bottles, cardboard and a pillow all incredibly loud
Have you considered using a practice ammo? We love this stuff: simple-shot.com/accessories/2y20002x/rubber-training-ammo
Also, just keep piling up layers of old towels and such and the ammo won't make much noise at all on contact! You can cut the backstop into vertically hanging strips as well to muffle the impact even more!
I know this comment is super old but if you haven’t found a solution to it yet you can buy microfiber/felt spinners and use that and it won’t make that loud noise.
Would a ricochet off the can, penetrate the cardboard?
It is a small chance, but it could happen.
I made a box like this and the balls bounce off the shirt and back out. What adjustment does it need?
Is the shirt swinging freely or resting on the bottom?
Heavier ammo
I shoot my scout with your plastic pellets indoors all winter long in Minnesota during the summer I shoot marbles at a garbage can laying down. Hint., Don't miss!
Shoot alot, shoot more often!!
7/16 slingshot ammo
The cat went inside the box ,and now its deeeeead. 7/16 ammo blew through the shirt and cat ?
LOOOOL
so....not a throwable microphone then ??
???
maybe you should google catchbox my friend.
Well, I guess this proves we weren't SEO spamming, right? :)
i am not sure what it proves but can you imagine my reaction when i watched this video thinking it was a "homemade catchbox" meaning a "homemade throwable microphone" ???>>
Hilarious. That "Save ammo and shoot slingshots anywhere." in the title must have been just a little curious though, no?
Funny, I've seen the throwable mic used at a conference, but never knew its brand name. Also funny is that it performed horribly. No one could hear from it! Hah!
