Nick3439 83 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 So I got a catty been practicing and just can't get a consistent approach to shooting. I just can't 'repeat' what I do shot for shot. Any tips 'marksmanship principles' if you will I love the idea of taking it with me whilst out bimbling around.... Particularly where discretion and noise are an issue.... To avoid upsetting people's peace and quiet obviously. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1Wally 204 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Dont really know what to suggest except to keep practicing. Don't over think it, I was trying a bit too hard when I started. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Longers7 720 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Always pull to the same "anchor point" be it your eye, ear cheek etc, then find a point on your catty to use as an aiming marker, whether it be the left fork,right fork, centre of forks etc, once you find your anchor point and aiming marker, then don't change it! Just keep pulling to these points every shot and after a while your brain will just do it all automatically. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Neal 1,873 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) Keep going. I was similar to you; I was either missing everything by miles or hitting the forks. When I started doing what Longers7 has suggested I finally started getting some consistency. Try watching some video clips too as it sometimes makes more sense when you see somebody else doing it.

ruggers13 268 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) I've only had two kills with my catty I've been practicing since February n I find it easier to aim center forks but sometimes I've noticed that I don't need to pull all way back find something small to practice with n don't give up!!

atomlab 104 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 thats the thing with shootin a catty ,the harder you try the worse you get(for me anyway) once youve had enough practice you dont have to think about anything. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
