Greyman 28,627 Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Nice one fella, I assume you are mates with catapult carnage, from utube, as I recognise some of the catty,s and places from his vids and yours, Feel sorry for the bunnys in your neibourhood, as he is a hell of a shot and I recon you must be up there as well, good luck with next months show if I'm right, sorry to assume if I'm not, cheers 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonjon79 13,358 Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Some of you lot have got some serious skills with cattys I use an air rifle to hunt rabbits and, even that takes practice to get the sort of shot placement in that picture. I've tried using a blackwidow and 9mm steel balls at a 15yrd target - I'd need a shit load more practice before I could even think of hunting with it. Nice shooting 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

First thing id say is get yourself something other than a black widow, proshot blood sport, or a flipping out scout, are two very good starter cattys, both of them take flats or tubes are ambidextrous and can be held in many different ways, which will allow you to find your own style, before you invest in a single style shooter, also the black widows take all your effort holding the elastic tight which causes hand shaking and movement so you don't get time to learn your aim and anchor points properly, in air gun terms it would be like a gamo or smk against a hw 77 or air arms pro sport. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I keep looking in on this bit of the forum. I reckon I'll have a good look round, invest in a decent catty and, try again. ......... it would be good to be able to take a few opportunity targets when I'm out walking the dogs Atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nice shooting Thanks pal ya well practice is everything for this I've been shooting since I was a kid on and off but I've put a lot into my shooting with a catty in past years now. Get the right set up for you specifically and you will be flying it's not about the catty it's about the shooter and the bands/ammo most important in my opinion. I don't aim a slingshot I shoot instinctive that's what works for me I wouldn't hit a barn door if I aimed for some reason . Need any help just ask man anytime I'd be happy to help drop me a pm.
