irishnut 297 Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 I'd go for camo gear, can't go wrong. A young lad needs to fit in with the crew. A small opinel knife, they seem to make every size, 1 size will be perfect. And a space in the shed, to put his weird wee man shit. Ferret kit etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waz 4,274 Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Getting my little fella this in the way of hunting stuff hes almost 6. Its the same bow in this set, so will get the arrows and a few bales of straw later. It is for him honest! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trappa 518 Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Ive got my young un a bow set, hes 11. Barnett banshee compound bow. It was just under forty quid and looks the bees knees. Was going to get him something bigger but was advised against it as he wouldntr be able to pull it back. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Can I ask you fellas ... I've got a catapult for my 8yr old son. It's a hand made one, bigish and sturdy (my neighbour is crafty at stuff like that; it's a belter). What ammo would you recommend - bearing in mind he's 8 lol I was looking for a safe alternative and someone somewhere said they use dried peas instead of the pellets? What's your opinion then? I know nowt about ammo/catapults etc lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Give over Paulus ... a metal detector ... if I had the money for one sure! What size is best for kids? Wouldn't the dried peas be a cheap and cheerful and environmentally friendly option? Am trying to avoid him taking out someone's eye Obviously he'll get a safety lecture (I am a woman after all) but still ... this catapult is f-ing ace! I had a go with it, it shoots well far!

I had a go with it, it shoots well far! go with marbles from the £1 shop cheap metal detectors are about http://www.amazon.co.uk/National-Geographic-Digital-Metal-Detector/dp/B007XDNFN6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1354993730&sr=8-3 then he could have real ammo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Until he's well practised and proved sensible I don't want to give him ammo he can kill things with Marbles might be ok if I can find small enough ones I guess. Good idea It's that or a pouch full o'peas in his stocking Maybe next year I'll invest in a metal detector lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 That's the plan Paulus! Yesterday I gave the three of them an massive empty box, some glue, scissors and markers and said 'away and go make something'. Didn't hear from them for AGES. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
