multi-banded catapult.

[B.P.R 2,798]

Thinking of the banding method i like. Paracord through the faulks and the bands attached to the cord. So i set about modifying my trusty wooden catty to take the bands this way.

 

Then i was struck with an idea. They dont come very often but once in a while i come uo with one that could change the world

 

Why not have 2 bandsets on one catapult?

 

So i adapted the design of the loops through the faulks so the cord runs down the front of the catapult and out halfway down the faulks to take the pressure off the top section and keep the unsightly knot away from the top.

 

I then banded the flatbands over the top as normal. Double theraband gold tapered 25>20mm.

 

The tubing is danking 1745 looped and attached halfway up.

 

You can shoot either bandset by holding the one your not using. Works well.

 

Its a good idea if the bands snap you have a backup or different strengths for different ammo.

Its strange but yeah why not :hmm:

Just a bit of fun mate. But can see the benefits if your out and the bands snap. Then you have a backup.

 

Band it with both theraband or whatever you like.

 

Was just messing about with the dankung.

Very interesting concept Blue Pocket Rocket, good logic in regards to if one band set snaps there is a replacement easy and ready to use.

 

All the best,

it does seem a good idea and somebody with more of a design head, tools and time on their hands could take it further and make it look better.

 

i just drilled 4 holes and went from there.

 

was re banding the catty anyway as the draw was too long on it for me.
