49 - Must-Have DIY Backbox: Perfect for Every Shooter

Рет қаралды 4,030

Күн бұрын

In this video, I'll show you how to build the ultimate DIY backbox, perfect for every shooter! If you've watched my previous videos, you'll know I've tried various pellet stoppers, but I wanted to combine all those ideas into one multi-purpose backbox. Watch to see how I create this versatile backbox using materials like 12mm and 18mm plywood, scrap wood from past projects, and even some old jeans for packing!
Got a few old clipboards lying around? I'll show you how to incorporate them into the design for holding targets securely. We'll also test the durability and effectiveness of this backbox under different shooting conditions and distances. It's a fun and practical project for all airgun enthusiasts!

Looks like a project for the weekend. I like the adaptability of it.

Yes, very quick to make and I think I'm going to get a lot of use out of it. 🙂👍

Love watching people make stuff 👍I put layers of quality fake grass with a good rubber backing in pellet traps, have used old carpet and clothing before but it smells when it gets wet,the grass can stay out whatever the weather, I'm sure if you've a local installer they'd have plenty of off cuts they'd want rid of 😉

Great tip!

Nice box! If you glue 2 layers of old conveyor belt or strips of old car tires to the back, it'll stop everything upto 24J. And it'll dampen the sound of the impact completely.

@hftshooter 6 күн бұрын

Sounds like the perfect solution. I think those clear plastic strip blinds they hang in warehouse doorways would work well too! 🙂👍

@@hftshooter might be. But tires and conveyor belts are threaded, which add a lot to the stopping power.

Stuff it full with old rags and towels, I use an old bucket full of towels as back stop for chony.

Glue some magnets on the inside of the corners then use either magnets or bits of metal to hold the targets flat

Thanks for the tip!

Great job on the catchbox, another idea is to put some insulating foam inside glued on the boards for extra silence box. Great job👍

Very good project, thanks for sharing. Have you thought of those round magnets for holding the corners down when it's a bit breezy?

@hftshooter 4 күн бұрын

Yes I have. It's been mentioned to me before, but I prefer clips as they don't fall off and get lost in the mud. I usually use thick card targets that are a little more manageable in the wind. 🙂👍

Great minds think alike :-) made one almost identical, works great. By the way, love that stock on the 410 👍👍

I use a 70L gas bottle cut in half filled with beach sand and memory foam at the end to hold the sand in very quite the foam lasts a long time I have a king-size mattress of it cut up ready to go. I also use it with my 22LR.

Sounds great! I've seen similar setups before and they look the business. 🙂👍

Deliberately made mine big enough to take A3 and A4 benchrest and zeroing targets. Also bought some charity shop baking trays,smashed flat, and zero chance of a pass-through😁👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

A very good afternoon to you, mate. Just going to grab a coffee and settle in to watch this before I go into the garden for a little tinkering and then plinkering 😋 Just adding a new bipod and red dot to a budget xs38 for messing around with.... Before the usual know it all suspects chime in regarding springers and... well, pretty much anything.... I'll make sure to check with you before I consider anything else that you don't understand and that has nothing to do with you in the future, happy now? Retention relaxed and unclenched?

Good afternoon to you too. Hope you enjoyed your plinking session. 🙂👍

Now we know why cowboys wore jeans... just in case of a shoot-out.

Yep, denim, every bit as good as kevlar! 😆

I just mounted a good quality pellet trap for paper targets on an adjustable tripod. I like to shoot on same hight level. Own the green Caldwell rest and it works fine for PCP and powder burners but not for springer use. I rather use a sand bag to lay my hand on for the artillery hold. I never shoot a springer directly from any rest. I see guys doing this and i tried it many times, but the best control and results i'd always get with both hands on the stock. Cheers!

@hftshooter 6 күн бұрын

I agree with you! I've never had much success with a springer off a bag or a bench. I always have to revert to shooting prone to get the best groups. 🙂👍

I reckon that you could use a large plastic flagon containing polystyrene bean-bag or packing beans. You could then separate the pellets from the fill by tipping the contents into water, skimming the fill off with an old sieve and drying it in a nylon stocking, then pouring the water through the sieve to recover the pellets - so avoiding breathing lead particulates.

Good idea, but I hate those polystyrene bean bag balls they stick everywhere with static! 😆
