youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 After shooting pocket predator catties for a while now and loving them I decided I wanted to try bills favourite design, the scorpion slingshot. The catty is much like his other designs but the handle is cut at an angle to achieve canted forks. This means than instead of your wrist being bent backwards like flat catties, the wrist is straight facing forwards with the forks being parallel to yourself. This reduces wrist strain and means he your wrist can't be affected by the recoil of the bands. However I'm not willing to pay £200 for one off bill as much as I like them. So in the next few days I will be making one, I'm gonna angle the forks differently though, where he cuts the handle I'm going to angle the forks instead of the handle. All being well it should have the same shape as this, not going to be as flashy but the concept should be sound Gonna be made out of a totally different material though, will keep you all up to date as I do it 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blackbriar 8,569 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Don't like to be the odd one out, mate,but that is on the Rooney Scale of ugliness ! I'm sure it's beautifully made from the best materials, and all the rest of it, but all the same ......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted March 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Lol, all have different tastes. I honestly think he's the best maker out there. His catties have certainly improved my accuracy for the better Quote Link to post Share on other sites
