I have a few nice antlers out in my fork box, and I see many of these antler/bullet cattys for sale on eBay, but my two main reservations about them are, one, they look to nice to use and seem more ornamental than functional, secondly I am massively reserved about joining parts of a fork together as it looks to me like one day, one of the brass cases is going to come adrift and hit you in the face or worse the eye, I know this is a worse case scenario but that's what I think whenever I see them, has anyone that regularly shoots catty,s used one of these things as an everyday shooter, over a

. I have the next model up, 1990 900 aero turbo, one of the last real saabs made in Sweden, it's wrapped up in quilts in my garage, and Will not be sold anytime soon, even by today's standards it is still the best all round motor I have ever driven, massive boot space, built like a tank, fast as feck, comfortable as my armchair at home, handles like a go cart and still gives around 30mpg if you can resist the urge to keep hitting the fun peddle, one of the best engineered motors ever made imho

Steam Coming Out Of My Ears.... Car Insurance!!!!
Greyman replied to Tiercel's topic in General Talk
if you have access to the tracker, get some lead flashing and roll it into a cone shape, when your daughter drives at night place the cone over the tracker and it will be turned off, I know a couple of van drivers and they both use one when they don't want there boss to know we're they are, much the same as you can override a tachograph by sticking a magnet to a Lorry,s gearbox, if you need anymore money saving tips just holler, I have loads -
Why mate They new he was picking up a gun???? and didnt even follow the supplier, said they didnt see hand over, because cab was parked off of vicarage rd, but gps on cab and cab drivers statment contradicts that... i was of the same thinking as yourself, plod protecting there snout, but at the end it said he was serving 11 years for supplying the gun so maybe it was just a catalog of small errors that led to the conclusion

I have,nt bothered reading past your post so if someone else has answered, sorry, but i find it quite strange that on a working dog site were people appreciate what a dog can do rather than what it looks like, an active member would ask the question above, WHATS THE PROBLEM, when owners are willing to drown a pup because it has a patch in the wrong place or because it's an inch shorter or taller than mum or dad, when people are happy to pour super glue onto someone else's dog in case it beats them in the show ring or even poison there food (as happened at crufts recently) and kill them, to me

have you had a look on flea bay I sold one on there in the summer think it went for about £50

Trouble Hitting Things,recommend Me A Catty.
Greyman replied to darrren's topic in Catapult & Slingshot Hunting
barnet tubes are a little heavy for 9.5 steels mate they are more rock slinger tubes, I fit tbg ott or ttf on nattys either make a button on the fork tip for ott or cut a hacksaw groove down the fork for ttf, I also cross drill them and use looped 1745 tubes, the proshot bloodshot is a really good commercial catty very simular to the scout, it takes tubes or bands in any configuration can be held in any hand and is a good starting point until you decide what style suits you, -
Looks to me like the wrap has just unraveled mate, easier to go on utube and look up wrap and tuck method and just re-tie the band to the fork, if you are not likely to start tying your own bands I would stay away from flat bands as they don't last long in use and don't store well in none use, I,m a little biased mate, as I love em, but I would rig that up with a set of 1745 tubes

you have to become a donor and donate £5 which is fine if you don't mind putting all your personal details into the hunting life website Only the same as you'd do on Loot or Ebay. I use eBay regularly and they only require an email address, I would gladly donate to thl but not while you require, names,addresses and even phone numbers, I,ve mentioned this before you should be able to just click and pay via PayPal simple and less intrusive

The grass thy neighbour ethos of the limp wristed lefties will take years of right leaning governments to weed out of our society, even on sites like this the moaners are slowly winning by running to sir, and sir is afraid of being branded a racist, sexist, homophobic zenaphobe to tell them to f**k off back under the rock they crawled out from, when I was at school if you told tales to sir, the teacher would tell the other kids so you got a good shoeing, taught you to shut your mouth up and stay out of people's business that had nothing to do with you, they try making it sound like it's helpf

yes I know mate I have found a loop of about one third the length to be my favourite, I have one with full loops but I use that for bigger lumps of lead, but for 10mm steels the third loop is my favourite pulled back past my ear,
-
you will always fail if you don't mate, but you might get on with it if you do, and in the overall scheme of things it's not the dearest sport in the world, so you might end up with more than one, I think I have around 8 at the moment
-
That's a well nice piece of kit as usual mate, have you fired one with tubes on, if so how was it, I seem to be flipping back and forward between flats and 1745 tubes at the mo but the tubes seem to be edging it simply because they last so much longer
-
FairPlay to you mate that's a really nice gesture and I,m sorry if I,m pissing on your fire, but that looks like a catty from China sold for a few quid, they are sold as stainless steel but are infact a really cheap alloy and have a nasty habit of snapping and hitting the person firing it straight in the face, gamekeeper John has done a few vids on YouTube about them and there was a lad just last week on there that had had a serious smack in the mouth from one, so if you are going to dish them out get some safety goggles or a load of disclaimers for the staff to sign before they can have one,

I,m a number three I guess, but as I always go out on my own I have no one to compare with or get embarrassed by, so on my outings my dogs are always the best, I,m also quite old and f****d physically like bird so I,m probably much more patient than I was, and I think some of my better dogs have been the slower ones to get started, that goes for terriers as well, I now just enjoy walking, I,m not hungry and there is not the money in fur, meat and fish that there was when I was a young man, so a days walking out with the dogs and if they catch things I will give it the curtesy it deserves and e

Those b*****ds, accurately calling a far right demonstration a far right demonstration!! Why do you find the term far right so triggering? I know people who went. They were ordinary decent Bolton people. Against the fact that their once wonderful town is fast changing and their own kind being pushed out. I fish with a bloke who went with his 90 year old mother....she is the only white person left on her street...she hasn't the money to leave....'asians' (Muslims) keep offering her £20,000 cash for her house, they know that's all its worth since they took over the area....they know she will n

i think that will be decided by how many fork hits you get mate, but if you are not getting on with it in a month stick some piccys on and see what your offered

I have just seen on an American slingshot site that simple shot mark all international packages as gifts, so there is know duty to pay, if your not already sorted That's exactly what's been done. It states on the package exactly what's inside and the prices of each item. The package was marked as gift and I haven't as yet received a charge. I have read however that if the gift exceeds a certain amount charges will apply and as far as I'm aware I'm sure the limit was in £30 bracket...I could be wrong.....seems very hit and miss. i don't think you would have your package if there was money to

. That's the thing, it's now European motor factors Renault pug, Citroen they are not three separate company's anymore, it's much the same as what General Motors did when they bought up every other car company, take all the good things that made the cars good and reliable off, and simply replace them with plastic parts so They are in the garage having money spent on them every few months
-
Why you looking at another French beast, are you a glutton for punishment or what?? Have to agree there. A friend of mine who is a car dealer once told me "Anyone who buys a second hand French car needs serious psychiatric help." the big problem is no longer just French cars, it's European motors, they are spreading there tacky plastic parts around the world, Toyota one of the most reliable motors now running European shite engines in some of there motors, v,w renowned for reliability, now sticking pug gearbox,s on the t5 vans, I recently sold a Nissan van that had a Renault engine in,

i think if you rearrange the letters of the first word and use you imagination a little you will come up with the name of an oil that is hard to get not strictly legal but is known for its cancer curing quality,s ?
