    Need Input: Anyone ever built an indoor paintball trap?

    Cabin fever is starting to get to me and my trigger finger is starting to get rusty. I feel that I can't pull as fast anymore I really suck at that triger pull computer program. No matter how hard I try I can't top 7bps.

    To those who may have made one before I would like to hear about some of your designs and materials used.

    Since I do have a nice crawl space under the house I was thinking about making a target range of some sort that can alow for some snap shooting and mod testing.

    I will be using Rufus T-balls therefore want to make a ball return of some halfpipe PVC tubing bringing balls back so that I don't have to crawl around.

    So here I am starting a discussion with you about trap box designs. Any Ideas would be appreciated.

    Thanks
    Hephaestus

      i just used a blanket with the end tucked into a bucket. and. guess you could put a piece of pvc in the side of the bucket and they would come back. sounds ghetto but it would work

          yea i thought about making a real pb trap like the blanket tucked into a bucket but then im just wasting air and its not really a target. you could just buy one of the rufus traps/targets and then mod it to work out.

              i did something like this once but i used a towel instead of a sheet it is a little thicker and less likely to have the pball rip through it

                      Now there are some good advises! Old towels or even blankets would work nicely. Make it getto style out of white pvc water pipes and a blanket wrap. Baffeling the towels can help stop any punching through.

                      Anyone tried out these t-balls yet. I just ordered some today and don't really know how tough they are.
                      BTW they are going cheap right now at
                      http://www.canadianpaintball.com/main/index.htm with free shipping and no taxes! Thought why not and ordered some to try.

                          make sure u dont pull the towen tight, just drape it over something or you'll be dodging tballs.
