Greyman 27,300 Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Awesome this recently made by glen at west yorkshire catapults great workmanship landed today Nath I have a few nice antlers out in my fork box, and I see many of these antler/bullet cattys for sale on eBay, but my two main reservations about them are, one, they look to nice to use and seem more ornamental than functional, secondly I am massively reserved about joining parts of a fork together as it looks to me like one day, one of the brass cases is going to come adrift and hit you in the face or worse the eye, I know this is a worse case scenario but that's what I think whenever I see them, has anyone that regularly shoots catty,s used one of these things as an everyday shooter, over a period of a year or more, I carry a catty with me more or less everywhere I go, and might have one or to opportunist shots 3/4 times a week this is what I mean by regular everyday use, I think the workmanship and look of these is lovely, so please don't think I,m being critical, just curios Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've got a fair few antlers I just wrap and tuck the elastic to a good shaped antler cover with some tape to protect it and fire away a natural antler catty sort of thing ??

nath92 84 Posted December 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Well ive only had this a couple of weeks , its in my pocket everytime i go work six days a week and i shoot around 50 shots a day through it on my walk to and from work not to mention walking my dog , only tine will tell but it feels really robust and shows no signs of movement, this one is the only one i can speak for but its really comfortable and as for as for hits i dont get them ever , only on pickleforks , i will quite happily keep using this and report on how it does but i forsee plenty of good use from it Atb Nath Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nath92 84 Posted December 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 I havnt shot at game yet with it as i like to get a good feel for a frame first but i can shoot it accuratly enough to happily hunt , as for as the sqaure elastic goes it is good stuff quite heavy draw great for leads , i have changed to some green dubdub so i can shoot 9.5 mm steel out of it with ease and its very impressive Quote Link to post Share on other sites
