Hey guys, I've got another one for you!
(Actually, I've got a lot of videos coming out over the next few weeks. I'm getting a little back logged so, instead of putting out one a week, I'll be putting one out every 3-4 days.)
I've seen a lot of practice shooting happening recently with guys getting prepared for competitions, getting new guns, and experimenting with tuning so, I thought it would be nice to share my how to guide for building a heavy duty rubber mulch shot box. I've used this for more than airguns and it holds up! So, shooting it with a .30 cal should be no problem. If you do want added protection, cut and install a piece of metal on the inside of the back wall.
I've included the dimensions of all my cuts in this post and at the end of the video for your convenience. Please be safe if you take on making one of these.
There's other ways, both easier and cheaper, of doing this. This is just the way I chose to do it. If you've got a method you'd like to show off, please share it with everyone and toss up a pic!
Happy Shooting!
Tom
