i've been waiting to ask these questions for a while (because i'm happy this is being made) anyway;

can tubes be fired straight up? and can an extra row or 2 be added to the racks to make it shoot straight up, left and right? it would be nice to get better pics when you can, especially an aerial view so you can see down into it.

That's a really nice design, would save on having to screw into side boards of racks to fan them out

Eric - do you happen to have a larger rack with same design?
I have one of the old ATF adjustable racks - 24 shot - love it - would like more. Let me know

This is just the first release of the ATR style racks. I will be making an 18-shot and a 24-shot. The 18 will have 3 sleeves of 6. The 24 will be 2 rows of 12.

Yes, this would be considered "0" degrees.



and can an extra row or 2 be added to the racks to make it shoot straight up, left and right?

You add a 3rd row in the middle, but it will need to be fixed. I will be making an ATR 18-shot, which will have 3 rows.



it would be nice to get better pics when you can, especially an aerial view so you can see down into it.

If you click the image it will show a very large picture. This really give you a view of nearly everything you need to know.

Hope this helps. Thanks!

Nice rack layout Eric. I'm glad to see someone marketing the adjustable angle racks for consumer use. I am sure you will do well with this design.

Here's our ATR 18-Shot with 18 DR11 12" HDPE Mortars. The left and right are adjustable from 0 to 30 degrees and the middle is from -30 to +30.

You may need to click the image to see a larger picture of the rack.

That looks awesome. Any possibility on a 24 shot adjustable rack. Would be really nice having 2 rows adjustable to each side.

Yes, I plan a 24-shot rack. It will be 2 sleeves of 12. I'll post a picture soon. Hopefully later this week.

On another note: I'm going to upgrade the washers to fender washers. These are larger washers and probably will be slightly better.

Eric--just a thought: Have you considered making these racks available in a "pick and build" option...for example: make the end boards available as a line item and also make the racks to fit them individually available---so if a system held 4 racks a person could order end boards and racks with 6 tubes, 8 tubes, 10 tubes, etc. giving the potential for a pod with 24, 32, 40 tubes, etc....... Food for thought.

I thnk rack kits would be interesting for those that want to build their own rack, but don't have the tools and space to work with the lumber. All they would need to get are a drill, wood screws and glue. I think it would also allow everything to be packed into a smaller or at least a more compact box. That might save on shipping.

Yes, I have actually. It's a great idea, but I've not sat down and really thought about the process from A to Z. I would want it the "systems" to be functional, practical, strong, easy-to-use and compatible with future designs. Thanks for your thoughts on this. This will be well down the road since I'm ramping up for the next 3 months.
