  1. Ok.. Cheers for the advice.. Can i ask how did you get the smaller tubes through thera black ??.. Loop of string ??..I am determined to get it coz i love home made rigs.. My current hunting set up for looped tubes is two old ring spanners which i welded together and cut off at the correct length.. Which i shoot surprisingly well so much so that i no longer use a conventional frame !!..Ta once again for advice
  2. Will do single loops to start with. Been kinda practising with plastercine balls in an old tube set up that came off the nephew's cheap Chinese catty that they robbed him of £3 for.. Really weak tubes.. I'm struggling to be honest some shots ok others clatter into me hand.. I'll keep at it though ...
  3. Cheers...I have some more 1745 on order and I'm gonna rig one up soon as it arrives...
  4. Wow... This looks an exciting way to shoot. I fancy having a go at that.. Any chance you could stick a pic of how you hold it in your hand ... so that i don't lose any bloody fingers !!.... Must be mad..
  5. Hello all I'd just like to say a thank you Greyman and Barry White for advice on me snapping bands..I tried both methods suggested (although I struggled with the cuff idea... Man that was fiddly)..I also bought some latex tubes and gave them a go..I have now used 1745 tubes for about a week. And shot somewhere in the region of 350 shots with no sigh of any wear !!.. I've got them doubled for hunting and find that they fire my 12mm steel and 12mm lead well both seem to hit hard so I'm gonna stop with the tubes for now .. Thanks again for the advice
  6. Cheers.. I'll try that also coz i do like shooting the tbg ... It's just so bloody annoying [BANNED TEXT] I'm having to tie pouch on again and again. I think I'm only getting about 60-100 shots.. If I'm lucky.. So I'm defo doing sumat wrong.. Was out this morning again and cut myself a nice looking fork that I'm gonna try some tunes on see [BANNED TEXT] they like.. Lot of folk use tubes and all say get much longer life out of them.. Thanks again for advice..
  7. Cheers Greyman I've had a look back and I'm defo gonna give it a go coz it's been so bloody annoying ..it looks like a little bit of tube with band pulled back thru..is that right ?..also I've ordered some tube off ebay..and while I'm waiting for it to arrive I'm set to making a new catty to fit tubes into..thanks once again..
  8. Hello everyone..just got back in after nice long walk in the sunshine with my faithful old whippet Tia .came through the woods expecting to get a chance or two at squirrel or pigeon but saw bugger all until just about getting to the end of the path when I spotted nice clean looking rabbit sitting sunning his self not 20 yards away .I use big tree to get closer pouch a 12mm steel, draw,..and bloody band snapped at the pouch end again.f#####...am I tying on too tight or what coz this seems to becoming regular..I am definitely thinking about going over to tubes for longer life ..can anyone recom
  9. Hello from Cumbria... I'm from Carlisle and I've been involved with hunting in one form or another pretty much all my life. Started 40 ish years ago following grandad mooching about with small dogs and a catty. Moved onto air rifles,ferreting, lurchers. Then onto firearms.22lr,223,243,17hmr. Now seem to have gone full circle and spend my free time up to no good with my old whippet and a homemade catty in my pocket. Love it.
