sambam 8 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 iv got 2 barrnet slingshots that i got when i was younger a black widow and a pro diablo, i use to use them regualr and was a good shot, had a fair few kills with them from pigeon to crow squirrels pheasant the odd rabbit and even fish lol all this was when i was about 14-15 years old iv been thinking about taking the black widow out with me when mooching with the lurcher pup to shoot at quarry in the trees and bushes as taking my air rifle out is too risky (too many idiots fooked things up) the widow is small and would fit into my coat pocket iv got a few mates with permission for lurcherwork, ferriting and shooting but thats a drive away and theres some good land not 5mins walk away from my house where i walk the dog everyday theres srcubland, conifer woods, deciduous woods, moorland and grazing fiels basicly most types of land you could think of in a fairly small area and it holds plenty of game, most is public land and farmland used by dogwalkers,joggers,walkers,bikers and horseriders just deciding wether or not to take the catty out on the daily mooch obviously my shots would have to be safe ect but would i get into trouble with the law if caught and could fook my chance of getting a SGC when i finally get my own permission Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yeeharr 41 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I've got a few. I use tubes, flatbands and square rubber. I use shop bought, metal type and natural forks. You can kill game up to hare size easily and with the right ammo and reduced range (under 10 yards) you can take fox sized targets. I shoot .44 lead ball for most hunting and also .38 steel ball for ferals and target shooting. I've always got 2 in the car and at least 1 in my bag or pocket. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JordKil 0 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I usually carry mine with me it's a good way to come home with something after a walk with the dog. I use a 'fishhunter' one of the wooden ones with the flatbands that fishfish on here makes. They are quality can knock a maggie dead out of a tree at about 30 yards +! Best I've ever used. The barnett ones are childsplay in comparison. ATB Jordan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yeeharr 41 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 The Hunter's are a lot better than a Barnett. Don't get me wrong, I've got a few Barnett types and like them, but the power a hunter puts out is so much more than any Barnet. They take a different style to shoot but are just as accurate.

sambam 8 Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 first time out with the widow yesterday n got a squirrel an missed 2 but enjoyed maself and the pup liked the squirrel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JordKil 0 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Fish hunter is definantly better than a barnett the flatbands can put out 13 pounds per foot of power. Takes a bit of getting used to especially if you're used to a wrist brace but afterwards its easy. ATB Jordan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
