Hi there folks,
I shot at a can once and hit the top center part. The can just fell off. Look at the pic. The can is still good to shoot but i can't hang it in the catch box anymore. What do you guys do about this?
Also, the shirt I put inside the box to catch ammos always tends to fall off the string i put it on. Any trick to fix this?
Thank you very much and happy shooting

Don't use the tab , Punch a hole in the top and run a wire through making a loop to attach it . I use a fine flexible wire from the dollar store to hold tin cans . The can will be cut while the wire still holds secure .

Ditto what treefork suggests. I make little simple s hooks as I need them out of wire coat hangers. Just need pliers and wire cutters, one coat hanger will make a bunch and you decide what length is right...

Does not take long to realize the tabs don't work well. Be creative and don't worry that there is a right way or wrong way. Lots of people use homemade wire clips that fit in the opening. Some people take an office paper clip, remove the wire handle and use it in the opening. But I like to just take a scrap piece of electrical house wire and poke a hole. Works well and make nice looking pictures when you cut a can.

Here's an option, a piece of coat hanger, just squeeze and insert.....

as for the shirt,just run your string thru the sleeves-like arms- and should stay in place fairly well,t shirts work best,or curtains-running string threm the hem and cut to desired length

I start on the ring-pull because I enjoy the can spin and move on to the wire if it breaks.

Would something like this work as an idea to save time making holes in the can to attach?

Just thinking off the top of my head.

Maybe need some modification.

I cut a piece of an old wireframe from a lamp that didn't work anymore and bent it. I can use it in a catchbox, a tree, a hence, whereever.

This is exactly what I use. They hold on pretty tight and last for ever. I did not need to modify mine, I just hook the ends of the hook in the mouth of the can.

Poke a hole in the bottom of the can , insert paracord and knot. Cut paracord to correct length and hang in target box.
