Favourite taper and band thickness
Sayosen replied to Beardedwoodsman's topic in Catapult & Slingshot Hunting
I use 30/20 0.80 sheshou 13 cm active 11mm steel, strong pull and very fast, over time I use to play with different tapered bands, but I finally managed to get used to this one. It's overkill for most small game, and I believe that even if I don't place the shot perfectly this band taper is more than enough to take out the game I am hunting! -
New bands packing a punch

Hey everyone, I live Inverness Scotland, and I would love to meet people in or around this area that enjoy shooting catapults, I usually go out when I have a bit of time, but most of the time I think that maybe I am not the only one in this area that dose this. I recently moved here from Wales, so this is why I am asking, I make my own catapults and I have some knowledge when it comes down to shooting and building them! So let me know if anyone in the area is interested. Cheers and thanks!

Welcome to the from, I live in Scotland as well, where are you from?
-
OK, so as long as I am careful about it, yes it's true that many people tend not to see or basically don't notice you, but this was always in the back of my mind and I had to ask, thank you again for the advice, not sure how I will explain dead game found and taken home, but I hope I won't need to explain myself on that matter in the future ??
-
I have those too, thanks for the idea ?
-
But would you really get in trouble if police let's say catch you with a pigion or a rabbit? Could you like invent a permission for that or? With the rest of the curious people I get the idea of telling them to f..k off, mainly dog walkers will keep their eyes on you and wonder why you around.

That's true, but I haven't seen many farmers around, hopefully I will find some who will give me permission, until then I am just careful of what I do, usually I just hunt wood pigion, and I always have this bad feeling that someone will stop and ask me on what's in my bag or why I am in that area, I would like to get in an argument over a wood pigion, but thank you for all the ideas you guys give me

Usually when I go out with my catty and I mean just taking it from my home to a place I could shoot it I don't even keep the bands attached until I get to the place I could safely use it, this because I know that even though you are aloud to take it with you, you still have to have. A good reason for it, my story at the moment being target practice, there are a lot of nice woodland here where I live, so much small game rabbit, pigion etc, but I don't hunt any because I don't know where or who to talk to about permision! I will look more into this, but thank you for the answers!

So this is new for me, for I have just recently moved to UK and I want to know how do most people who hunt with a catapult get permission to do so? Well... I know most people cut corners on that, but I genuinely want to find out if I could ask for permission to hunt using a catapult and that the land owner would understand that hunting with a catapult is a realistic way of taking small game.
