Thanks Shabby! Question...what do you use as the 10 yard and ball markers on your 308.

Good stuff!

Post up some pics, hopefully this will inspire other to try making them. You will not believe how you got a long without them after you have them, especially playing Shootout rules!

Exciting!!!!

Actually I have a wooden ball marker that slides down one rail and a set of chains also on wood that slides down the other rail. Got 'em from Reginald. Reginald made them, very simple design, yet extremely effective and a breeze to use during game play. I don't think I have any pics readily available of these though.

Talking Video of Boards in Use...

As requested...

Hey Shabby, here is the video of the Cowboys board with the sideline rails... I make them so that they will fit onto just about any board.

My new design that will work with my next generation boards will fold up and then out, like a tackle box... should be pretty cool.

Here is the video... sideline trays are on display starting at 23 seconds...

Hey, those look familiar!!!!


Man that is a super job, I am so stoked to see those, you ******** near got them exact down to the pencil marks!

This is great, I am glad you saw how easy they were. When you play with them trays, there ain't no going back!

I absolutely love those trays you made.

Default Update!

Here are my side trays stained and with green turf. They are still tacky to the touch so I'll give it a few days to dry before posting pics of them attached to my board.
