My room is a little messy :headbang: Yes, thats my paintball box on the ground there. And you can see my emag if you look really carefully.

Instructions:
1. Find a nice corner, with something large and flat around it, like a carpeted floor or a bed.
2. Prop up pillows in the corner, 2 pillows high.
3. Take a bedsheet and spread it over that, making sure that the bedsheet is touching the pillows and not sloping up anywhere, 90 degree angles everywhere.
4. :shooting:
Tricky eh?

...When I saw you starting to shoot I was all interested in the big amazing contraption you must have set up somewhere...And then I saw some pillows and I just laughed

Nice gun though :clap:

How many times have you shot at it yet? I also just got a few hundred rebee's and their "rubbery" texture would grab+destroy almost annything I shot at over a few hundred times.

I have found that a pair of bluejean legs hung over a large bucket tilted at an angle works great and they are lasting the longest with about 2000 shots on them so far with no signs of wear. The hanging jeans absorb the energy and then they fall into the bucket. Walla!

Probably... 6 hoppers so 750 balls. I turned my velocity down alot, It's probably around 50 fps now. You can see the balls dropping down within 5 feet of you.

I made a catcher in my backyard too, let me go take a pic of it...

Instructions:
1.Take your old pitchback thing(returns a thrown baseball to you) and take off the net, leaving just the frame.
2. Find an old bedcover, one that you wouldn't mind getting a little dirty.
3. Spread the bedcover over the frame, and use safety pins to wrap it around the frame at the top, leaving the middle loose, and folding it up to make a catchbox at the bottom.
4. Voila!

Touche.

However... for me...too convenient, too easy, and you've got to pay shipping. :nono:

that looks like if you missed, the balls would bounce up up and away too...

[Rudz]

i figured id put a blanket over the top opening and inside..but if you miss that opening big enough for a kid to crawl in...

[jenarelJAM]

heh, I've already lost one ball. You'd be amazed how easy it is to lose them. And I don't think it would be hard to miss that hole every once in awhile, especially if its your first shot, or you're practicing snap shooting. Once you miss though, its angled perfectly to ricochet the reball about 100 yeards away.
