Did you get that from the little lumps bigboy19706?
-
Did it come of an old tree or young? Big or small?
-

-
I started making catties recently, I'll get some pics up when I'm done with a few. I'm just waiting on some beeswax to finish, I wasn't happy with the varnish I got and had to start again.
-
True mate I really like them. They might be light for M10 though. Big old nuts M10s.
-
I'm using the amber 2040 that came with a catty at the minute. Overall length is like yours at around 14" they max out at around a 34" draw and i draw to about 33" shooting this catty. I've been shooting hex nuts with this setup practicing at about 30 feet and I like it. Id hunt with it no problem within this range. Hex nuts are bigger but they're not a heavy ammo. I've not weighed one, but you don't need heavy bands for them.
-
Yeah definitely sounds like a bit of a tree.
-
Lol yeah, man period bud soz
-
All I'm saying YCH is that I trust it enough to shoot it, Its not that I ant given it any thought mate
-
This is a dense piece of wood, you cant fake that. It isnt cast monkey metal dressed up as stainless. Theres as much chance of breakage as any natural wood catty. I have spent a lot more on a catty recently but I fancied my chances when I saw this and its come good. People are quick to judge
-
No this is not cheap cast metal its a pretty dense wood that I gave some stick (pun intended) with a hammer and checked out, before I even drew the bands. Did I come across in my post as someone stupid who wouldn't give a thought to my safety? Who says I don't wear shooting glasses too. Thanks for your concern
-
I bought this off ebay for £4 from china. I'd seen the shape on more expensive well known catties and wanted to try it cos I like the full pinch grip style. lts miles better quality than i thought and accurate too. The bands are 2040 I think and chuck banned text hex nuts fast as as f**k. Best £4 I ever spent (maybe). Not taken game with it yet but watch this space
-
I broke my finger with a catty when I was really young, I cant even remember how it happened really. As I got older and started using a catty properly I've never had so much as a scratch from one. I wasnt gonna post in this topic saying that, cos you know now i'll go out tomorrow and probably break me hand or summat
-
Cheers its had a couple of coats of danish oil on it now and its looing good, its brought out the grain. I dont know if I should poly coat it yet. I,ll see tomoz.

You make it all sound so easy -
It's just preference, do you want a fat catty or thin?
-
Believe me it didn't start that shape lol it's had a lot of wood taken off to make that shape.
-
Bit more sanding to do then ill finish and band it tomorrow, its a little belter cant wait to shoot it. I'll put better pics up when its done.
