Best cheap catapult

[RossM 8,105]

Where’s best to get a cheap catapult? Not had one for a few years and fancy something to have in the pocket during the coming months for the old “just in case” situations 

 

thanks

Ive just ordered one of these even though Ive more assorted frames than I'll possibly ever use.Thought Id give it a try as it could save a lot of time and agro tieing on new bands when out hunting.Especially on a freezing day when your fingers are numb

I started with a cheapo Chinese frame, I like the small type frames.... Experimented with tubes, different bands etc.. Bought a few from nick and got a cheap scout copy that my lad shots with... Chuck them in the pocket, they make the local walks more interesting

Ive always been a bit wary of the cheap chinese ones.Sèen a few reviews where theyve broken up after a frame strike.

I know we all like a bargain but buy genuine if you can , like already said the Chinese copy’s can be nasty , seen some bad injuries with them.

Don’t know if you ever have a look on the American slingshot forum, but a few people on there are modifying the scouts by sanding the fork tips flat they recon it improves accuracy, not that you need any help

If I want mine to shoot accurately I'll just hand it to my mate.You could stick me in the middle of the woods and I'd struggle to hit a tree

After seeing the back of your truck for an hours shooting I’d have to disagree there mate, unless you put the gun away for the photos
