B.P.R 2,798 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) I dont sell stuff really. I iust make them but can help the odd person out with a bandset cheap With regards to the millbro style catapult. You can attach bands either: By putting the tubed elastic through and round and tie it onto itself. Looping it through the holes and sticking a brass pin there or a nail would work. A loop of paracord with a big knot in it and tie onto the loop. Doubling them back on themselves. You can attach them however you want. They are designed for tubed or square elastic but flatbands can be adapted to fit it. Edited January 24, 2013 by Blue Pocket Rocket Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B.P.R 2,798 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) Looped through the holes with a pin How you use the pin. But with the tube/square elastic Through and round the forks. Then tie as usual. Paracord through the holes then attach band to cord. Same method as abover but with flatbands. I also seen another great and quick way. You attach the bands to the pouch doubled up and feed them through the hole. You then pull the loop over the top of the forks. You can change them in seconds. Kind of like this way....doubled up but where i have attached to the cord, you put through the holes in that catty and over the forks. Using longer elastic obviously (this was for my son) HOPE THIS HELPED Many other ways to attach flatbands too. Your imagination is the limit.
