    And to add to my problems, my boy found a day or two old pheasant chick that had been abandoned and bought it home. We've been raising her for the past few weeks and will likely have to release her in the next few weeks. There's no way I can go out this coming season and shoot any hen birds with a clean conscience!

    For such a low tech hobby, I seem to no have end of problems lol

    People are slagging the dankung tubes off now too though, stating their not the same as they used to be and inconsistent. The trouble i find with buying from China is that you never really know what your getting and by the time it gets to your door step, I can't be bothered to complain.

    It's mad how dolifferent people like different bands, that's why I always try something myself before making an opinion. There's so much inconsistency in batches too

    Lovely job, some decent kills there. What tubes do you use for the 10mm?
  6. andysparks
    Looped tubes seem to be doing the job on the pigeons for me lately, 2040 and 9.5 lead.

    That's ideal then, might have to look into a clipped frame. I agree with you on the dankung tubes mate, the gzk tubes are abot 10- 20 fps faster but have a shocking life-span....I'm lucky to get a couple of hundred shots out of them.

    Do the tubes wear much faster where they go under the clips? I love shooting looped tubes OTT but always struggle to keep them secured on the fork.

    Dropped you a message thanks

    Lovely collection there! Where do you get the sps frames from, I'd love to get one but can't seem to find them for sale?
  11. andysparks
    Good shooting and a very nice looking catapult, is it one you made?

    I was down to my last two jills this year so decided to have a litter from both. The result was the usual five kits from one but a surprising 10 from the other (but only a few jills across both). As a result I've got a number of polecat hobs available in Norfolk. Good working lines, medium sized and currently 14 weeks old. Well handled and eating both flesh and dried.

    The Barnett tubes are good but really only suited for heavy ammo such as half inch lead. There's always the option of attaching flat bands to the bare forks which gives you far more choice in the respect of draw weight and ammo. I'll hopefully attach a link to a video showing how it's done...

    I've got another frame I made up for sale. It was a spare to the frame I use everyday but I haven't used it and it seems a waste just sitting on the shelf. It's a 10mm ally HGH core from Wayne at catty shack with natural linen micarta scales, fitted with brass pins. I'm asking £30 posted.

    These were the only two frames I used for along time, shooting 14mm lead with square elastic. I haven't shot with them for over a year now and use flats with 10mm lead.

    Nice one, what bands and ammo was that? Squizzers are tough little buggers, you did well.
  17. andysparks
    That sorted him out! Nice shooting bud.

    Lovely job thanks, I'll have a look at those. Nice way of attaching them to the collars too.
  19. andysparks
    Great looking bunch of dogs and ferrets!
  20. andysparks
    I've recently been looking to get a few bells for the collars. There seems to be loads of choice in size and quality, would you be able to put a link up to the ones you recommend or even the make and size I should be looking at please? Rgds, Andy

    This is my two. 5 year old dog whippet and a little 1 year old whippet/collie/greyhound bitch. Perfect for a mooch about, the little bitch will retrieve anything that falls to the catapult.
  22. andysparks
    Nice shooting bud! Glad to see you're putting it to good use.
  23. andysparks
    Bloody hell! They're not even a great frame to shoot...in my opinion obviously. Someone must be mad to pay that!
  24. andysparks
    I made that one mate.
  25. andysparks
    Hi there, I have an ally HH for sale. It's a 10mm core from Matt fitted with East Anglian bog Oak handle scales. Im asking £40 delivered. It's had very little use so just a few minor wear marks but no fork hits.
