dave88 1,565 Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 What catty are you currently using mate? Any specific type that we'd know? There's loads of 'budget' catties out there but a lot of lads on here just make them...nothing more rewarding and satisfying than catching dinner with something you've made. To be honest if you're doing ok with what you're using at the moment then why do you wanna change? All the best mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 28,881 Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 I am looking for some advice on what type and size catty for a 10 year old ive been using a plastic ott c atty with thereband gold and ive got pretty accurate but wondered if there was a better catty for me well done to you Albie nice to see a young man with an interest in something not made by Apple, what hand do you use to hold your fork in and what size ammo are you using, it's a bit of a tough one because of your age, do you shoot with an adult have you got somewhere in your garden you shoot? The reason I ask is I would make you a small natty but I recon I,d need a note from your adult, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albie06 1 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 i hold the forks with my left and i use 6mm ball bearings . i go shooting with my dad as much as possible at the creek not aloud to fire in my garden because my dad has 6 aviarys.my dad always watches over me and says when we are accurate enough he will take me hunting Quote Link to post Share on other sites
