  1. I've been shooting for a few years now and if i could give anyone advice it would be find out what outer fork width suits you best (80-100mm usually) and then shoot paper to find and dial in your anchor point judging from where you're punching the paper. For me my sweet spot is a100mm frame and I anchor on right on my cheekbone and hold the frame gangster and aim on my target with the top corner of the frame. also bands you can draw smoothly and comfortably without too much strain / shake help with accuracy. wasp uniphoxx frames look brilliant but I just cant shoot them consist
  2. Ive used them in the past to good effect especially in the summer. They are great if you can get them going fast enough they'll go straight through a woodpigeon. think i was on 20/15 .6 I just feel they deflect too easily on foliage sometimes.
  3. Im the same tend to just use 9.5s for everything these days. I have tried 8mm to good effect in the past but I'm just more comfortable and confident with my 9.5 setup
  4. It'll do the job! I have one of his other designs in the same material. I didn't think id like it that much but its become my go to when I go out camping / kayaking. Cheap, cheerful indestructible, what more could you ask for ?
  5. I can shoot both fairly well and I think OTT looks a bit cooler as there's more frame options but despite my best efforts im a TTF man at heart lol ? Especially for hunting. A pinch grip TTF frame with an aiming dimp is best for me I'm just more accurate, confident and faster to set up and take a shot with it.
  6. my brother applied for a squirrel control job up here in Scotland last year, I don't want to get too specific but it gets pretty much all of its funding from the government. The position was poorly paid and had been vacant for some time. It turned out for every 1 front line pest controller there was multiple admin / managers / etc. very top heavy organization with a huge amount of people getting paid big salaries to do basically sod all. He lasted 2 weeks and then handed in notice said the whole thing was a joke and its primary purpose was for lazy managerial types to have kushty
  7. Thats cool, Its a great idea to have a podcast for the hobby. alex davidson is the real deal aswell I remember asking him for advice on instagram when I was getting into cattys. Super nice guy and very experienced hunter / outdoorsman.

  11. Hello, Does anyone have a gamekeeper john ttf pocket poacher boardcut for sale? I have one of the hdpe frames but tbh I really prefer the classic multiplex wood cattys the best in hand. Tried contacting him through ebay but said just hdpe now. Hoping theres a wood one second hand floating about somewhere. cheers lads pic of the one im talking about :
  12. I make my own now but a uk based small independent seller on ebay like GKJ and the like are good. avoid cheap Chinese bands on ebay and amazon in my opinion I had some in the past that weren't the taper advertised or the rubber was old and a bit stiff etc.
  13. basically cattys are considered a toy and perfectly legal unless there's evidence or suspicion of it being used for a crime like poaching or vandalism.
