- Remove the container lid if you prefer.
- Rotate the rear rod
90 degrees horizontally, then rotate the L Bracket to the back. Extend the rods 36" for BUBCA I and 24" for
BUBCA II, (the rods are 48" long when extended fully) using caution not to pull too hard as they can break. They
fit into the rear corner just beyond vertical on two axis (the side & rear).
- Rotate the
front rods up past vertical and into position but do not extend yet.
- Open the netting and
place around the rear support rods while resting the inside of the backstop top on the tips of the rods. The Backstop
is the Outer Most part which places all 4 rods inside the backstop.
- At each end of the netting
there are loops that fit over the front rods. Do so while extending the front rods until they are up with the tip of the net,
near the tip of the rod at each end, 26" or 34" respectively.
- Place the long plastic
coated wire through the top tips of each rod, on OPPOSITE CORNERS where there is a 3mm hole. The front end is the longest
exposed length of the wire, which after placing the wire through the front rod tip then extends further to hold the top
net loop on each topside respectively. This forms an X under the top netting and forcing each support rod into their respective
corner. Right front and left rear, left front and right rear supports.
- Smooth out the netting
and adjust the support wires while placing the bottom of the net outside the can and the small lip at the bottom back inside
the can.
- If weather dictates or OPTIONAL: Now install the support braces at the base of each front to rear side telescoping rod.
- Device is ready
to suck up your brass.
- Place unit with respect to shooter and the firearm ejection line. Each
firearm line, weapon height, shooters height, and length and angle of ejection is different, so you must locate the correct
proximity to the net for each individual person and firearm. Typically the distance ranges around 12" or so.
- Take a few shots and move your spot according to the ejection path until you hit the effective area. This is a HUGE
Funnel and you will find your sweet spot quite quickly.
Disassembly is in the reverse order….DO
NOT FORGET to use CAUTION when contracting the rods and rotating them into the can.
TIP: Leave the backstop on the front telescoping rods (at the base) and fold them into the can. The backstop will only need
to be pushed up...saving you time and keeping the assembly extremely fast. See video.
If there is not a shooting bench or it is too low for the ejection path of the casing…attach a tripod to the
already available mounting hole at the mid point of the can bottom. It will accommodate a camera tripod and can be placed
on the ground or on the bench for extreme height. You may have to remove the can lid for balance.
Sometimes the weather doesn’t accommodate us and the wind really blows. Put some weight into the can for
anchorage. I personally carry all my ammo in the can along with my safety glasses and hearing protection. There is plenty
of room with the brass in the can.
The next critical change for BUBCA has now been
made. Now included with all BUBCA Systems is the rod support brace that is placed at the base of the telescoping support rods
front to back on each respective side locking them in place.
The Extreme Wind Table Clamp and Components has now
been added to the available parts list as an option, that will fit any BUBCA for the purpose of locking the system to the
table during extreme wind conditions (commonly found at Camp Perry National Matches). The wind system has been tested
in 30mph winds and has passed without issue. Photos are provided on the website showing the components.
The X
Horizontal Supports are the new upgrade for both BUBCA brasscatching Systems I and II. No longer needed is the previous horizontal
supports that run through the netting at the left/right front tip to left/right rear tip along the sides, and along the
rear top of the backstop. The "X" update are two plastic coated supports that run from the top of the left rear
rod tip to the right front rod tip and right rear rod tip to left front rod tip respectively. This bracing update now
supports the horizontal telescoping rods into each their own corner firmly while holding the top netting taught.
Just another BUBCA system improvement that we continuously re-evaluate so the consumer gets the best
product available to the shooting industry.
ENJOY AND SPREAD THE WORD…………………..
PRAISE THE LORD AND PASS THE AMMUNITION!!
