probably easier if you stuck a list of ones you've seen but not understood up, are they just catty related or things you have Seen else were? I,ll start with a common catty one tbg is Theraband gold, it's the elastic on your catty just catty related will try and get a list together think most are the abb to describe the type of catapult as in pfs pickle fork shooter, opfs original pickle fork shooter

New Catty For General Plinking / Beginner
Greyman replied to WhiteN's topic in Catapult & Slingshot Hunting
Looks good mate, let us know how you get on with it, once you've got used to it, -
Something I really regret is the number of starlings I shot on the farm years ago. We grew up being told they were vermin that should be killed at every opportunity. It wasn't until my late twenties, when I hand reared two that had been found behind a fascia board on a roofing job, that I realized what a charming and engaging little bird they are. Beautiful plumage, real characters and like you say fantastic, and accurate mimics. Like I said, I have regrets. dont beat yourself up mate anyone who was into any form of hunting 25/30 year ago has done the same, we used to shoot them and put the

A mate of mine was gifted a wire haired bitch, earlier this year and by taking it for walks with other working lads over the summer it's started to work and actually caught its first bunny last week

many thanks for the heads up about Nick. Read a few posts about gamekeeper john failing to deliver in a decent time scale so ordered one from Nicks e-bay site on 23/9/16 and the catapult was in the post by the end of the daylets have a picture -
Nice one, I,m 54 and can't remember a year when I have,nt spent a few nights out, I,m off to Staffordshire next month for three nights of fishing and three days of shooting makes you feel alive, enjoy

a really hot chick so I could just play with myself all day, after a year or two when I get board, any body that's fit and healthy is a blessing

I picked up a young goldie yesterday, it seems to have hurt its wing, I,m going away for the week and don't have time or inclination to get to involved, is there anyone near Bristol who could take it in or any vets or organisations I could contact for help, I don't mind dropping it off upto a reasonable distance if there is anyone who can help, cheers

I have a young goldfinch here found it yesterday, appears to have hurt its wing, I don't think it's broken as it seems a bit better today than it was when I found it, however I have not got the time or experience to nurse it plus I,m away for the week next week, so my question is is there anyone in the Bristol or surrounding area that has an aviary they could put it in for a week or two until it's strong enough or if it does not get airborne some were it can have a few happy years, I will drop it off upto a reasonable distance, alternatively all and any advice on places to take it or things to

Only one of my permissions insists on insurance, but I have it for my benefit, not theirs. i don't disagree with you at all blackbriar, my reply was just in the context of the op, but as he says he will get some as soon as he secures some permission so alls good

....not in suburban Lancashire....maybe you will get a result but the effort will make you sick. Iv worked on farms all over Lancashire and we got people knocking weekly I recon you just need a beater

How did the weekend go Paul, ?hope it went smooth, Got any vids, thought there would be something on utube by now

I might be wrong but i think they were bred for running alongside carrages. i,ve also read that and in the same article it said they are the only dog created with know purpose other than decoration, I think if you had one trotting alongside your chariot it meant you were the kiddie, now you just put blue neons underneath and a stereo that makes your ears bleed

I always found door knocking or even approaching farmers out on there land the best way of obtaining permission, it's harder to say no to your face than it is to chuck your letter in the bin or ignore an email, I would expect to get at least two yes,s for a day driving round asking, oh and know one has ever asked me for insurance, they usually ask that you shut gates behind you and don't shoot the sheep,

your dead right,they are known as parents, not the son of a chippy on a cloud with winged woman and harps, I,ve said it before having a religion is like having a dick we all know we got one but don't stick it in people's face, it's a lovely picture thanks to Mother Nature and a decent macro lense

I've seen people hunt with a single stand but only on a pfs witch is what I intend to do. I think but am not 100 percent sure that the number represents the size, IE 1745 would be 1.7 mm internal size and 4.5 mm outer diameter and 1842 would be 1.8 mm internal and 4.2 mm external, which would suggest the 1842 would have a thinner wall were as the 1745 is the heavier tube, on my tube catty,s the size of the loop makes all the difference, full length doubles fire 12 mm lead a treat were as a third length loop is better for 9.5 mm steels, hope all that makes some sense

dont think anyone told them in Syria either

when my son was younger I got him a pair of African clawed frogs, not the biggest frog by a long way, but what they could shove down there throat would have put your average porn star to shame, they live in water and never get out, there diet is fish, but when you see a 3" frog eating a 2" fish it looked like a sword swallower, I,m quite happy to be past the pet stage now, it can turn into a full time job

know fly,s or moth,s about so yes they do hibernate mate, Spring/early summer usually busiest time same as most of nature really, then a late flurry in Autumn to build up enough fat to take them through the cold months, they will be gone in the next few weeks until April

almost worth traveling for if they are worth that kind of shilling, I had them down as about £25 each myself, have to check it out before I head south with me spoon on a stick

that bat detector sounds like an interesting bit of kit, is there any particular makes or models to buy/avoid as there seems to be a massive variation in prices and models from £30 for a kids toy one upto £250 for a serious bat geek one Mines just a magenta mk4....http://www.nhbs.com/title/156154?title=magenta-bat-4-bat-detector?bkfno=171848&ca_id=1495&gclid=CK6fuoHSns8CFYeVGwodP3ENVg This is cheapest iv found (usually around £90 on ebay) Iv had this model for severel years and have no inclenatin to upgrade, it's a great bit of kit! I often lend it out to friends it's had a lot of

realistically about half a day including cutting the fork and bands, as it's an old crutch you can extend it by about a foot to give you an even bigger draw, but it seems beast enough as it is, I am a bit busy with work at the moment but can't wait to give it a proper go, like I said a bit to much for the garden so need a trip out

. They are a bit early round by me this year and people have been picking them since August, but I will wait until next month, as I only want them to make vodka, I,d rather they are a bit over than under done yea I'm making the gin had a load of brambles yesterday with my 7 kilo of Chantelle's So bramble gin in the making . Does that mean blackberry gin? I just use vodka because I prefer it, other than that it's the same as gin, i,m going to do some rose hip vodka as well next month as I pick loads of hips to make rose hip syrup, and as they have a shitload of medicinal properties in them I
