Thread: Pellet trap

Maybe expand the size of this and add casters to it??

To wide, not 3 position, not tall enough.

I went to school today and measured their pellet trap. It stands 67" tall, 34" wide, 20" deep at the base and 2 1/2" deep at the top. It's made of 3/4" plywood. The box is 62" tall, with a few extra screws and glue I figure $595 for 10 traps.
I've got to look at casters that will give a 5" space. Sheet metal 1/8" X 32 1/2" X 60" for the back drop. Sheet metal 1/8" X 32 1/2" X 29" and someone that will fold it for the catch pan. Add the screws to attach the back drop and liquid nail to hold it solid. I hope we can build these for $125 each.

A note from school this morning. The board of education wants to stop funding the ROTC program.

A misunderstanding. Members of the JROTC units met with the new school board members to show how much the like the program.
The booster club is being reorganized and tax exempt status applied for.
The Lt. Col. has applied for a grant for 20 target traps through the NRA.

When they look at cuts they always cut the good programs. Many regular schools in our State when doing budget cuts always cut music and arts but they always leave the sports and to me that's just wrong!

Our local school has a .22 rifle team and some of these kids have gotten so good they're buying the fancy competition models. They shoot at Norwich University a private military college. They have a great booster club and they raise lots of money.

Good luck on getting the stuff for the kids!!

shooting in school still!!!! thats awesome!!!!!!!! we had a sportsman club at my school. long been gone people dont believe it when you tell them about bringing your gun to school on the bus. lmao

still no reason they couldnt make their own, its part of shooting. i have made some out of those realty sign frames. i shoot pellets and 22(when the wife is gone lol) in my basement in winter.
