Effective Hunting Setups , Beginners Guide ( Discussion)

[Guest OutdoorFanatic]

Rarely does a month go by that we do not have a new member asking for advice on an effective hunting setup for various game. Whilst most can find the answers to their questions by spending some time reading through the forum, some may be on the lower pages.

 

I am starting this thread in an effort to compile as much useful information as possible into a single place that will be at the top of the catapult forum, easily accessible by all and right in front for inquisitive minds.

 

To do this I will need your help. What I am asking for is for the hunters on the forum to post in this thread successful and effective hunting setups that you have used to take game. Please be as detailed as possible as to your setup.

 

What I would like to see in your posts

Game type :

Slingshot used :

Shooting style :

Bands used :

Ammo type :

Ammo size :

Range :

 

You don't have to tick every box, but as much info as you can provide will be very helpful to any new member looking at slingshots as a hunting weapon.

Pictures of your setups would also be very useful.

 

Please note : This is only a thread to discuss hunting setups

 

Cheers guys ,i will try and make more threads like this that can be easily found at the top of the page if it stays active - thanks

Suits me pretty well, I'll be using double theraband gold with 12mm lead or marbles soon or i may even use hex nuts shooting my money away with these steel balls aha

[Guest OutdoorFanatic]

I think the bands were worn in anyway as I've been shooting that catty non stop since i got it , will reband it in the morning.

If this thread is for the benifits of new starters it might be an idea to let them know the short hand ie pfs sps ttf and so on can be quite confusing for a newbie I'm just getting my head around it now :-)

What dose ott .mean

[youcanthide...BANG 1,051]

Over the top. So your bands are drawn so they go over the top of he forks. TTF is when the bands go over the sides of the cattu
