Outofnowhere 93 Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Thanks for the heads up Greyman, I'm getting back into catty's after a short (40 year) interlude I'd looked at his products and was thinking about getting one of his catty's until I read your post. Any recommendations as to who is a good supplier? Cheers OON Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 28,163 Posted April 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 If you don't mind doing your own bands and pouch,s pro shot catapults has always done a really good service, but if you want one all banded up and ready to use I,ve had good service from a company called stone-spear catapults, seems a decent type cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dave88 1,565 Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) Pro shot are the dogs dangleys but they only sell metal cast catties...if you're after a wooden one of some sort then order from anyone except gamekeeper John lol Edited April 2, 2017 by daveee88 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blue ninja 2 Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Well , duh ah !? and Yes I will ! Well, let me say this to everyone .. People shouldn't be so denier to someone just for an catty order went wrong or arrival of was way behind the schedules or didn't get it ... I'm not sayin that's good. But I hope you would understand what I'm sayin. In this case , it was Xmas season . All the shipping companies, postal services are experiencing above their capacity. And you know how those guys are ... Throwing every packages , opening and taking it some for thier homes even ...lol That bloke John is a great humanbeing . He could be little evil as everyone would sometimes but in general, he is a good guy. C'mon ! He is not in a prison yet ! Look , Accidents, mistakes will happens in life. Look... He isn't a head of huge corporation, Certainly, isn't a big Chinese sweatshop factory owner . That guy is doing everything he can to promote this tiny catty world with his shows and activities , this entire our great catty communities across the globe, yop. Yeah, you heard that right ... He did a lot for this catty community . If you don't think he isn't then do it and show us what can you do. On top on that he must take care his life with his great family plus his hobby fishing/ hunting etc .... If you've seen his shows from the beginning to now you'll see how he progressed from his tiny little back yard workshop and all the efforts comes along with his great shows you know what I'm talking 'bout. Over freakin 10 years, boy ?! C'mon! give it up to the man. I'm pretty much sure he is always with his " My pace" over with his business. It's basically papa-mama catty shop down on a street from your house you might able to consider that. But we are asking him to be like Dirth Vader Catty manufacturing company that is so perfect in every angles yet criticizing for the Rock bottom price to be even much lower than what it should be... C'mon man... If you wanna get an shinny metal catty in perfect conditions , in perfect delivery time then you can get them from Pro shot shop faster & quicker I bet that's comes with price too ... Really I won't deny the man's entire existance for an one catty missing in actions during super busy Xmas and I certainly won't deny the bloke for being late either. Btw, how wonderful story that one gentleman offered a brand new catty for a girl for Xmas ...oi oi oi ... it made me cry ... Yeahhhh ... That's what's Xmas is all about ! So, Can we all respect eachothers , everyone !!? You don't need to be an oldman's ball bag, aren't we ? LoL This thing should not let our spirits down. let's go out and shoot some rocks, eh ? LMAO P.S. look, I ain't a " " but a just one fan of " GAMEKEEPER JOHN" and his shows and his handmade catties .just letting thing sorted out and Straight. Thanks [BANNED TEXT] . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
