Out with the Weihrauch HW97KT and the Barnett Diablo catapult

[zini 1,939]

Hi there lads,

 

In this episode of VerminHuntersTV I take my Weihrauch HW97KT out for a morning of proof shooting and testing my new calibration data on my scope caps after weighing, washing and lubing a tin of 15.4 grain H & N FTT pellets, followed by some pigeon shooting on one of my permissions for the land owner.

 

Then in the afternoon I decide to film something new for the channel and go with my fiancee and our dogs to another location to practice with my old Barnett Diablo catapult, shooting a few targets with .38 steel balls.

 

Enjoy

Great video Si. I used to have one of these catapults back in the school days. They were incredibly powerful and I used to get up to all sorts of mischief smashing milk bottles and anything I could get my hands on. From memory there used to be The 'Black Widow', 'Cobra' and 'Barnett Diablo.'

 

On my Diablo the rubber straps used to develop small holes where it attached to the frame which was a sure sign that replacements were needed! It did get some hammer though to be fair!

Thanks Phil buddy,

 

I think I was lucky with the 3 shots hitting straight after each other today.

 

I haven't really practiced since Bosnia with it, but I used to be very handy with it.

 

I've taken many a feral and magpie with it at 10 to 15 metres with my better shots being at 20 to 25 metres.

 

I'm going to practice with it more over the Winter ready for the Hunting Life Meet in June where we will be having a catapult shooting comp.
