I need a good idea to build a reball catcher thing, so they wont bounce out etc. Someone draw me one, or explain a good one .

Thanks.

just make something that is angled down at like a 45* angle and have something below it to catch them. sounds east to me.

Go to your local field and ask them if they have any spare or old netting. Then take some PVC tubing and make a target area, say 2'x2' square. Wrap the netting around it, a 5 gallon bucket underneath and you have yourself a reball catcher. And just a little FYI, the reball at Centerflag washes their Reballs after each use in cold water and then towel dried and then fan dried.

thats my idea. Basically just ply wood. The Yellow thing could be a heavy towel or cloth to slow the balls down. You coud just use like 4 or 5 heavy towels in there so when the balls hit they immediatly slow down and drop to the bottom and roll to the front of the resevior.

Plus you could throw a little door on the resevoir to get the balls out.

wait...are we talking about real paintballs here? casue if we are wouldnt they bust against cardboard or plywood?
well if we are talking about atcual paintballs then i just use a really soft thick blanket and let it hang down between 2 tall chairs, fold the bottom of the blanket up on the sides a little so the balls just roll right down the same spot and into a box.

How about a pitching net? My sister has one for softball. If I got my hands on some reballs, that's what I'd use.

The holes are probably to spread out.
