Good frames but the elastic and pouch’s that come with them are sometime shite, the bands seem to short and the pouch is for 8mm balls, think it’s more geared toward target set up, just get some decent band sets on it and you’ll be fine, it’s a exact copy of the simple shot scout 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have you tried precise or gzk bands.....Celtic catty or catty shack or wasp slingshots sell rolls of band. I generally use the .66 ish for 9.5. If anything happens to the clips on your scout proshot catapults do spare ones. I believe they do the metal ones which will last a life time for a tenner. Also, (you might already have one), Celtic cattys do a nice template for cutting bands only a tenner.....I’ve just got one.....it’s brilliant and saves a lot of time. Its the same catty I use a lot, my favourite that and the scout lt. . Edited May 14, 2020 by Shortstraw Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When I cut mine I add 1 1/2cm extra for doing the pouch and a bit extra for where it fixes to the frame. I just put a list of stuff on that I use on another thread I’ll link it if I can Its in the “ New bands finally arrived thread just below this one” if your already making them doubt it’ll be of any use.
