Longers7 720 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Pickle forks are harder to shoot in my opinion mate! And beware of your hands when you shoot them! I've made a few of them, I normally use TBG on mine, but I've just started using dangkung 3060's with green dub dub protectors. http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/aa394/boobylinos/586824A3-BE2E-427E-B665-209BAB3A273D.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scheme-sport 37 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) Pickleforks are notoriously difficult to shoot..... BUT.... Saying that.... Some People take to them with ease.... Some 'point and shoot' whereas others aim like a normal catapult.... Some say you have to twist the pouch, some say tweak it also.... And most will point the fork tips towards the target to instigate the flip.... One things for certain... You NEED to flip.... As the ammo goes OVER the fork tips and not through them like a regular catapult... The gap in the forks is primarily to tie the band's on.... I like tubes and tube protectors.... As the tube protectors automatically want to send the tubes over the top whereas flats don't.... But thats just me... I'd recommend making one from anything you have lying about.... Your very likely to get fork hits.... So practice on an old piece of wood or hdpe.... Once you've nailed the flip... Buy a good one... Once you've got the hang of the flip... You don't actually need a frame... Some Use lighters with bands on... Key-rings....and so on.... Or it can be done by holding the band's in your hands..... Something similar to this....

bobcullen79 1,495 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Ive got a big old bruise and lost a bit of skin on the back of my left hand trying bareback shooting the other day lol. First two shots went into the catch box, I thought wow, this is the shit! 3rd shot, crunch.. Didnt hurt as much as I thought, but then again, I knew deep down not to be giving them too much power.. just aswell lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Kev you can't shoot a normal catapult. I once saw you miss your back garden completely. You miss rabbits at 5 yards with a shotgun. You once threw a can into the waste paper bin at 1 yard and missed. When are you gonna accept that you are registered blind and move on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bullx100% 681 Posted May 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Think the rabbit was 3 yards And I wasn't aiming for the bin I was aiming at the flooooooor lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
