Thumper build

Post by Sarge410884 »

How do you build a thumper with an easy method to shoot the hopper without having to open up the thumper lid ideas please this is a 2 gallon thump or so doesn't need to be extraordinarily large

Hi Sarge.

If you are shooting liquid only, take a look at the middle of pot-n-thumper thread found in my signature for one potential option. It’s not perfect by an means, but it was simple to add onto my existing thumper and worked fine the few times I used it. I still use my thumper but have not shot anything in years. If you are shooting solids, the port would be too small for your needs.

If you could share a picture of you rig, that may help spur some ideas. Nothing like a good puzzle to get folks involved.
