  1. even cockers will go to ground ,my last one used to all the time . i eventually lost it presumed gone to ground. so a terrier would be more tempted to with years of breeding behind it
  2. better over gunned .my catapult dog is a bull/grey/saluki grey
  3. Love it. Going on safari with dog and catapult is one of the pleasures in life
  4. 1745 i was using 9.5 and 11mm steel to be fair at close range there pretty accurate have used the tapered tubes before with hex nuts ,they worked ok but for speed and longer distance dont think you can beat bands
  5. After being inspired by mr Wilkes and his exploits I decided to tie a few tube sets and give them a go first go tapered tubes. Good and accurate but a bit slow so then tried looped tubes there a lot more powerful but he’d to pull back compared to bands dont think you can beat 0.7 20 15 gzk
  6. out tuesday what do you want ?
  7. good little video ,dogs getting switched on now
  8. never seen them before cool find
  9. its not just teenagers i,ve a 40 yr old bloke that works for me exactly the same
  10. Do they come with the clips or do you have to pay extra for them?
  11. Just swapped to ott to show these are 25 mm do bit of over lap and just to show how carp the clips are over tightened slightly and split the clip
  12. Shouldn’t be any excess. If the bands are to long cut them down to required length
  13. leaves are falling now ,so happy days on squirrel hunting
  14. The wasp ones really good no problems at all. The Celtic catapult ones break when you over tighten. Wasp clips on the blue
  15. Tried loads and still go back to the scout Dont know how many catapults I have but the scout is the frame I choose. plus the Chinese copIes are cheap
  16. ame for me I,ve got big hands and the find no problem shooting with the uniphox frame
  17. When I was in Africa this is exactly where big cats hang out. We were looking for cats for two days and this is where the scouts look for. South facing rocky out crops over looking flat Savannah. When asked if they ever saw any on the flat ground they said only when they are on a kill. Out in the open there vulnerable and will get pestered by other animals ,hyenas etc or vultures
  18. 9.5 mm. steel is the most popular from balls of steel mmmmmm8888 nuts from Wilkos don’t bother with the sights just practise and practise a bit more.
  19. I have one of these scout copy with clips https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HDPE-Professional-Outdoor-SPORT-hunting-slingshots-Catapult-smail-pro-slingshot/293645587454?hash=item445ea413fe:g:8lEAAOSw3Zxc2WHS
  20. Good idea. Thanks I will make a set up and have a play
  21. sounds like a plan how have you tied the knot in the tubing?
  22. do you think that is the best tube set up just looped ? do you think it would work ttf just as well
