A mate of mine is going to convert my hw100 and put carbon fibre buddy bottle on it, he is getting me a buddy bottle for about £130 i think he said, 300 sounds steep mate
It is, that’s what I thought
-
I’ve read that carbon fibre bottles have a lifespan of 15 years. Does that mean that if you have a rifle with one of these fitted, you have to replace the buddy bottle after 15 years? Looks like they’re around £300 for a carbon fibre buddy bottle, not an expense that you’d want really. Does anybody here know what the situation is regarding these, are they unsafe to use after 15 years?

Good write up Ian, an interesting read and good result

Had a bit of a walk about and finished up with a bit of a shoot over a small splash. It was an enjoyable couple of hours anyway.

Not a clue mate have a look on YouTube an old boy in America called chief aj hunts wild boar with one and claims to have shot a grizzly with it as well, would say you would drop a deer from up a tree in a survival situation
Plinking ‘eck, I wouldn’t like to face a grizzly armed only with one of those. Maybe he’d been on the moonshine?

Air guns look to much like a firearm and will draw you unwanted attention were as I can go shooting with my catty in the local park or city centre and as long as I’m discreet it’s not a problem, these are very easy to convert to arrows, get a cheap whisker biscuit of eBay and take out a screw on the Barnet and pop on the biscuit simples
Any idea of arrow speed that these can generate?

I’ve been using gamebore 3 inch mammoth steel for a few years now, found them to be very effective.

I,ve tied the Barnet , Diablo/wrist rockets/black widows and they are all very usable with flats on, it’s the tubes they come with that make them a struggle unless you have arms like Popeye
I had a wrist rocket in the seventies, subsequent catapults have never seemed as powerful, or am I just seeing it through rose tinted glasses? I’ve never used the flat bands though, only tubes. Are the flats such as tbg more powerful?
-
What bands are you using Mr Wilkes?
-
How do you find these tubes compare to tbg for example Mr Wilkes?
-
Is this the same tubing that comes standard on the Barnet slingshots?

i have used wasps for a while now
they are good value for money and tough
i bought a few and use them to experiment with different type of bands etc
if you have a few wasps all banded up differently it is easy to see the differences .
then when you decide on a bandset you can band up 2 or 3 the same and not worry about any breakages when you are out using them
they are also of a size that you can fit a few in your pocket
Which bands would you recommend for the wasp?
Carbon fibre buddy bottles
