brookie 1,193 Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 so brookie. what catapult would you recommend? a natural fork, laminated, steel? was looking at making one. just bought a cheap one off fleabay. if i gett any success i might make a batter one or buy one just a bit of fun for me though. i personally use a natural wood one its about 30 yrs old this particular fork .ive also seen some very usefull alloy forks that are very nice in the hand . try to get a fork that fits into your hand comfortable .with about an inch of handle coming out the bottom of your clenched hand .your middle knuckle of your fore finger coming to the top of your one prong on your fork and your thumb on the near top of the other prong of your fork .so your catty is fitting into your hand .you dont just hold the handle .you hold the whole catty in your hand when using it .in the right hands and made right a catty would kill a full grown man never lone a pigeon .when i do a few birds later this week and or a few rabbits il get it on tape and post it on site ,and hopefully how to make a practical catty .ive got a few nice seasoned forks here and some very good lastic i sampled for a company 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bunnys 1,228 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 50 quid for a catapult i was always under the impression that apart from the bands, they were free or as cheap as chips so they could be tossed if needed, i was gonna buy me lad a nice wooden un, but at 50 quid i think we will be making them we gpot a brass un off a craigys auction , 2o quid posted well worth it for a worthy cause , and if all else fails like my eyes it can be weighed in . atb bunnys. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
