Banded this up with 25mm singles and added a lanyard, after finishing with Briwax. It has a dull sheen, rather than being shiny and looks and feels ace close up. I had a mooch out, took a pocket full of hexnuts. I didn't manage a shot on anything living but I got rid of about 50 nuts shooting at random leaves and twigs. I like this catapult, I got pretty accurate with it quick but had a bit of a problem with band slap that i couldnt adjust for.
I apologise for the pics, as you can tell I took them with a potato
