Wind flag transport box

I finally finished my flag transport box. I bought 6 flags from David Halblom ( from Flying Fish Fundamentals and I wanted something safe to store them in while traveling. I wanted it big enough that I did not have to tear down the flags each time.

The box is made of 3/4" plywood all the way around. The divider is 3/8 plywood. It's 26" long, 19" wide, and 22" deep. I have 2" foam in the top of the lid to lightly press down on the tail of the flag to keep it from rocking. The flags set stem down into a holder that has 1/4" wide "troughs" so that the weight of the flag is resting on the cross support. The stem actually goes into the brace, and this keeps the flag from not only rocking, but from moving side to side. I created a side area that holds my flag stands, and a seperate area that I keep the ball weights in. The ball weights are stored in a metal tennis ball can. I cut the tennis balls in half, and placed the weighted balls in side the 2 halfs of the tennis ball, and placed them back inside the can. Each can cames with 4 tennis balls, and I have 3 weighted balls in each can.

Please exlpain why. I have never been tot he nationals, and with them in Texas this year, I would like to go.
Beause you rotate benches at big matches. You need a set of flags at each bench you'll shoot on. The alternative is to find 4 other people who use the same flags as you, and get squadded together on the different relays.
 
This is a pic of my flags and the compact carrying case. Unlike the others mine hols 5 flags with tails, 5 flag stands, 5 spikes to put the stands on and a level. The aluminum case is 5"x11"x16".

If you use the best receivers, barrels, gunsmiths and etc. Why be cheap on flags as they tell you when to shoot if you pay attention. These are the same flags that the Aussie team used to win the World Championships last time they were shot.

Butch, why do you need flags? You can tell by the picture you posted you don't have any wind.
