Making Bandsets Without Rotary Cutter? Possible?

Thanks mate, will update if all goes to plan -
Making Bandsets Without Rotary Cutter? Possible?
Sarci sparki replied to Sarci sparki's topic in Catapult & Slingshot Hunting
Yeah ive ordered two ages ago gaffer and none has arrived yet, ych why cellotape? Sounds spot on if I can find some tape now lol, cheers fellas appreciated -
Right basically is this possible? Ordered two rotary cutters and neither have arrived for what feels months.. and as one of my tbg snapped on a pretty old double setup I snipped the other one off and discovered 11mm lead and single 20-15 is spot on with the easy draw, if feeling a little less snappy than I would like, so desperate to make a quick single 25-20 setup to go do some woody and magpie shaped targets tonight lol

Project I Will Be Starting Tommorow.
Sarci sparki replied to youcanthide...BANG's topic in Catapult & Slingshot Hunting
Good luck mate look forward to seeing it pal Being toying with the Idea of paying the full hit for a custom target scorpion, almost convinced myself but seen one of midnights knives off here, went with that instead for now lol -
I bought one off youcanthide, top quality catapult thats more than capable of taking game, never had much luck with my black widow, bands just arent strong enough, in my opinion.

Quietest; Bands Or Tubes?
Sarci sparki replied to Sarci sparki's topic in Catapult & Slingshot Hunting
If I had the money spare I would be ordering a custom scorpion from bill. Love the look of them especially in canvas micarta. For now though mine is doing me good. Think I might just have to try and make one. Making the canted forks is what's the hard part about it though I know pal I was looking at his customs for while last night trying to convinve myself lol. Mrs would f***ing kill me. -
Live Trapping Squirrels
Sarci sparki replied to Coursing mad 24's topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
When we used to trap rats in live cages on the farm, bit of peanut butter on end of the barrel, always stopped for a quick sniff. But if this is your lively hood and you have 20 traps to check then you cant sit there and wait 5-10 minutes for the rat or squirrel to calm itself enough to show an interest in the peanut butter. You'll be sat there all day checking one line and making no money lol. Priest and bag is humane and quick, I see no problem. -

Did you ask for it in poly? If in g10 it will be that much but with poly I can't imagine it being a lot. If you want I will get a full sized file done on the computer of mine so you can download a stencil of it to make or have one made? Would really appreciate that mate! -

What Does This Mean Exactly? Rabbit Snare
Sarci sparki replied to Sarci sparki's topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
The rat holes are about 3 inches maybe slightly smaller, and go in and out of the clumps of grass and you can follow the definitive run for a good few meters, My guess most definately rats but maybe wrong? I can notice something that looks like beats in the grass, flat or flatter patches of ground maybe 2-3" round with the odd one being noticeably bigger maybe 6-8".. these are positioned in a noticeable line through the pasture with forks etc coming off. I knew someone was going to pull me up on that one lol, no there is definately no horses in the field with any traps as the fields ar -

Yeah I'm just going to two part expoxy it, will be fine and in the meantime just use as is as the crack closes with the pressure on the bands. Will try 20mm straight cut blues with [BANNED TEXT]'s until the rotary cutter arrives, got a small poly hts on the way from pocket predator to carry while I'm at work so my wooden ones dont get scratched - lol - I think that has the option to put tubes on if i remember rightly so going to order a length of 1745, wheres best for 1745? Ebay? Exactly what youcanthide said mate, only drawing halfway to piss about, eg. Bag thats blew in a tree, at -

Hi All, always been interested in snaring from a kid when we used to find them when ferreting, so simple. Recently on a relatives horse grazing field a horse has sprained or somert its ankle in a rabbit hole so she wants their numbers dropping and everytime ive been able toget there with the guns, not one in sight and I havent time to stalk them all day as I give it an hour and go to work. So after reading some articles on here I bought some made up ready to go snares from fourteenacre and planted about 6 down, come this morning I had one snare that was pulled to a hoop about 2 inches in diame

Well just got back from a few hours mooch with the catty and dog, didnt get anything this time, couldnt of been worse. First shot was at a drey because there was nothing about. Took a quick half draw shot and crack straight into my fork putting a big crack through the bamboo.. annoyed isnt the word lol. Second shot was a woody 10 yards sitting low In a tree, quartering on to me with its breast and crop on show, perfect. Took the shot and the asda blue straight cuts (which im preferingto shoot now im getting used to them) gave abit of a crack and my hexnut hit it as it jinked from the crac
