If you cut the carpet shorter so it can swing you will get less bounce back and less penetration . I hunt with 9.5 mm steel balls they do the job. It took me about 3 months before I was accurate enough to start hunting. Your shooting style looks good so you should improve with practice. Two channels I found useful as a beginner were " Catapult carnage " and "Game keeper John. All the best for 2020 and enjoy your shooting.
Pretty much the exact same as mine! I made mine from a large brake cleaner container, with an old scrim scarf and layers of motorcycle kevlar as the backstop. I use that mainly for practicing with 10-11mm steel or lead ammo. I'm making a smaller scale one for 6-8mm steel out of a water cooler bottle, which hopefully should collect my ammo into a little tray 👍 By the way, if you're struggling with aim, look into the Sightright card, it's essentially a sight for a slingshot 😎
@@soulthrower Only when I'm using particularly snappy bands, from .80 upwards, and even then they'd only land 3 feet or so in front of the catch box. I managed to stop that though by simply adding another layer of fabric. I've also been working on my release, hence the switch to smaller ammo. Much easier to shoot with less power for longer, and with the right band setup, small ammo can be ridiculously accurate, with little trajectory. 👍
Found your'e channel. Nice shooting man. I'm shooting for 8 years now but i'm still not very good at it. Anyway like you're catch box. It looks a bit like mine. I mostly shoot indoor (BB's) at leather targets. Doesn't make much noise so i don't get trouble with the neighbours :p I'm also a huge fan of frameless shooting. Did that many years but some months ago i let a dog out and she found a stick. I thought that's a nice catapult. And now i'm shooting this tiny shooter every day. Love it.
Regarding the bounce back I believe that instead of cutting down the bottom part you should do some vertical slots 3/4 of an inch apart so if you hit the box they twist and absorb the hit instead of bouncing back plus it will still help keeping the balls inside.
Bra video,jag har gamla t-shirtar som är lättare än en matta och som gungar när man träffar det funkar jättebra.Ska göra en ny catch box med en flyttkartong
Very cool 👍👍

Dirk Storto thanks! Will change some like I showed in the video... but I need a bigger one to when friends want to try. 😅🤙

Rick Heasman thanks for feedback!!! Will let the carpet swing!! Great advice brother! 🙏😊
Hahaha Super Awesomeness Brother.....
cosmicsponge2000 thanks brother... in spring I will make one big catch box! 😊🤙

Awesome... Do you get any bounce backs like i did?
I do have some problems aiming when my beard got bigger... 😅

I use leather backing. Doesn’t wear out & last a lifetime. Will stop any size ammo.
I didn’t even think about that... I have been looking at rubber that when hanging would slow it down. Great idea!! Thanks! 👊😊❤️

Eman Dalli thanks!!! That’s an awesome idea!!! I am on my way to make a new one. 🙏😊
@@soulthrower no worries if you want some pics for ideas let me know. I built one and works perfect
Eman Dalli do you have a video of it? 😇🤙
@@soulthrower yes I can do a video. Add me fbook and I will send you there if you want
Eman Dalli Can’t find you. 😅
Please add me.... same name as here. 😊🤙
try using a piece of card board between can and carpet,50 shots ,helps me see where im hitting when i miss can. like the catcher.
Thanks!!! Really smart!!! 🙏😊❤️
Smart thinking bro
Bra video, älskar slangbellor. Vart fick du tag i stålkulorna ? Hittar inte någonstans. Själv skjuter jag 16mm glasskulor funkar galant. 👍
sebbe gustafsson kulorna köper jag från eBay eller wish. 8mm är de jag föredrar men innan jag byggde min catchbox använde jag bara stenkulor. 😊👍

Bra förslag!!!! :)
