darrren 414 Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Hey guys. Im going to post a link to a forum post. If you scroll down there is a post by skook showing a picture of three naturals. How has he attached his bamds to the Gypsy tabs? Has he pushed the band over the paracord then tied it off? Im curious and want to try this setup, I noticed on catapult crazy by the warrener they also had the bands attached this way. Cheers lads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 29,448 Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 I have done this on a fork I had that was already tabbed up, instead of melting the paracord to form your loop simple tie a knot in it and shove the knot inside the tube, then just tie it off behind the knot,, if I,m really honest with you apart from the saying gypsy tab, I could see know real advantage to the method, I still have the tabbed fork but I cut the tabs off and it is one of my most accurate catty,s , can anyone say what the advantages of a tabbed fork are, another thing I would point out is that of the hours of YouTube videos I have seen none of the top target lads are using them, ?

darrren 414 Posted November 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 I figured it out last night and did it how you said pretty much except I just melted the paracord together and the blob left over was enough to not have to tie a knot. The travellers om catapult are pretty awsome shot on catapult crazy mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darrren 414 Posted November 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 And they use this setup to attach square bands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 29,448 Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 And they use this setup to attach square bands. the tabbed one I have had square bands on, the only thing square bands and large tubes seem to bring to the table is the ability to lob larger ammo, so I guess it's more a lamping set up, were a short range shot with a big lump of lead or rock is required, but as I said the gamekeeper johns and Bill Hayes of the world all seem to use small ammo and flat bands, ?
