  18. Alright lads.... Made two of these catapults...decided to keep one... and auction off the other.... Made from 2 sheets of birch ply (otherwise known as multiplex) ... high grade..... super strong.... Pinky hole...which sits your finger in nicely to get a good....secure hold.... Scolloped fork tips...which IMO keep the bands centered on the forks...and aids with aiming... This has been made for a right handed shooter...with comfort and hold in mind..... not just cut out...without thought to hand shape etc .... Fits the hand nicely.... Banded with DOUBLE THERABAND GO
  19. I wonder how many people....namely kids... are bitten each year....no-each week.....by next doors cranky shitzu x chihuaha....... But these go un reported as theyre nothing more than a ferret bite...
