We can write down a list of things you need if it helps, I’m sure people everybody will chip in with suggestions ld have a look at Celtic catty website to start with.
-
Anybody checked out the band templates from Celtic cattys? 3mm sheet with several slots to your choice of taper £10......just ordered one
-
If you YouTube black widow etc, Fowlers catapults ........a lot now put flat bands on this type of catapult. Personally I’d just buy a scout from simple shot ( available from proshot catapults) all you need, or get a Chinese copy for about £14.......scout lt is a very nice catty, just a bit smaller. 2x links below

Gold.? Gzk, precise, theraband? whats your draw length? Have you tried making your own? Few bits n bats your away and it’s easy, quite fun and you can try all different types of band. For 10-16 quid you can get 2 meter roll......make loads.

How’s tough Ian it to pull that sheshou 1mm back, as the 0.7mm black simple shot takes some muscle.
-
Im loathed to pay more than a couple hundred of quid and seeing adverts like that does wind me up, but if people are willing to pay it they do right charging it, but I don’t agree with it.

Some skill gone into that.

Got a pic?

Sorry, not been on for a few days... The metal clips get a real good grip of the rubber, but I’m afraid I’ve never shot much over .7mm so can’t really comment, but I can say I should imagine they’re up to the job. I have both the plastic clips and metal clips and both do the job. Metal clips are more bulky but will last a life time. You can buy the clips from pro shop catapults, but they are a tenner plus p&p. I really like the scout lt, it’s very pocketable. I prefer to shoot it without the scales though which allows your fingers to clasp through the hole.....it’s a lovely catap

That would have pissed me right off! Cheeky twats.

You tried the Scout Lt? It’s nice, thinner and a bit smaller......metal band clips, removable handle swell which i prefer removed on the LT. Got mine set up with some green gzk .66 25/20 that I’m trying for 9.5mm, quite a nice draw.....easier that the pink precise which is around the same thickness I believe, although the precise has a tiny bit more punch to it....saying that the gzk isn’t lacking at all. The last lot of gzk I had was yellow and didn’t last as long as the precise so I’ll see how this green goes because if it’s does last I think it will be my choice of band....( for now).

New Scout lt fits quite nicely into the pocket. I prefer it without the hand scales which leaves somewhere for your fingers to grip into.
-
I’m sure most of you have owned a fair few catapults, so if you could only keep one which would it be. Also what’s your preferred set up .....bands n ammo for the catapult. I haven’t shot a load of catapults....but my one to keep to date would be the Simple Shot Scout. At present I’m shooting 25/20mm flat bands. I was shooting precise ( .6 Something), but have just bought green .66 gzk to try. Only ever shot 9.5mm
-
Do you line your bands up when you shoot?

Bleeding hell! Fair play to him, but £400......wow

That’s bloody lovely. I knocked a quick one up with some spare timber from garage, but after seeing yours I feel inspired to do a better job.

Nice that......I would love to do one in my garden, but it’s like a postage stamp. Ive been taking mine up to the woods when i exercise the dogs.....I park in the middle of nowhere, but I just got back to the car and found a Police leaflet saying I shouldn’t be out there ( about 7 mins away from my house in a car).....I can understand it, but I’m away from everyone.......yet it’s ok to walk around my block with the dog which is busy than ever.....oh well. Incidentally when out this morning I took my precision band, think it’s .65 and the theraband gold. Enjoyed shooting both, you ca

I’ve got a scout Lt and I use precision pink/ red colour bands at the moment, think it’s either .60/65, 25-20mm. I’m shooting 9.5 balls. I found the precision to last better than the gzk bands....just my opinion. The gzk ( which were at the time ready made bought bands) always went prematurely near to the pouch.

Some pics of my tri colour cocker ?

Lovely pics. -
Might be of interest to someone........

Posted it above, not sure if it’s the one you were on about though.
-
Hope this helps.....

I’m shooting that exact copy of the scout, used to have the original, but I ruined it......no difference between the two. Ive just treated myself to ordering a new scout lt, it’s a bit smaller than the scout and slimmer, also it comes with those aluminium band clips (which you can also buy separately). Looking forward to it arriving.
