Parker 0 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 ofcoursw ive used tubes and squares. dont rate them at all and personally wouldnt think they are easier to shoot than flats. I don't think they're easier, I know they are. But with all due respect I have far more experience than you so it's easier for me to make a comparison. I guess the proof is in the pudding. Had a black widow and a Pro Diablo when I was a younger. I Fancy something similar to the one above it looks very concealable!. How do people rate this type of catty? Obviously useful in an experts hands but what about a novice? or would I be better off with a wooden one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kranky 507 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I like a Milbro type, they are the shape that predates the Barnett. A novice can shoot one just as easily as anything else. Half an hour with someone that shoots, giving you a few pointers, will get you going in no time or its a case of getting some tips, reading the Internet and watching YouTube. I'm in Sussex, not too far from the M25, if anyone's near or in the area and wants to have a plink, let me know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers, D. I'm not at the wind up, being genuine. For the record, both kranky and BPR have offered me a catty buckshee, top fellas ill stick with this widow maker for the time being, cheers guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lab 10,979 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Aye that's just no right. Fair enough crack on wi s fight, if you win then fine... If you get a hammering then that's the chance you take. But to do that to someone is bang out of order....same with jumping on folks heads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

baw 4,360 Posted June 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Well guys, managed yesterday to hit something I was actually trying to hit ok, it didn't have a pulse but it was a good feeling anyhow lol. It was the pole on one of those whirly gig things you dry clothes on, about hmmmm 7 yards lol. Still can't get used to using weak hand to hold catapult, feels more natural the other way and this was the way I did it to hit the target. Think ill continue this way lol.
