tomburras 2,729 Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 I spotted this on ebay the other day and thought I'd share. I'm new ish to catapults but really like its compact size and has sight inserts. Iv not shot it yet. What do you guys think? Iv just fitted some gamekeeper john double bands. Do you think it will be any good? Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big rowie 187 Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 That was my first slingshot did well for me. I used it for target practice did quite well for starters. Then I moved onto scout lt. Cant go wrong think mine cost a tenner. The screws get worn changing bands but that was after a while 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
