Anyone Made Anything With Rabbit/fox Fur?
micckey replied to DeerhoundLurcherMan's topic in Countryside Skills, Craft & DIY
Hi bud. Do you know exactly how he did it? I have tried alsorts with both rabbit hare and deer skins, using, saltpetre, borax, tbags, oak bark, etc, and i can never get them completly soft at the end of the process. I have heard the red indians used to chew the hides I just used salt nd scraped it off with any skin .. no expert but I moved it every day for a weeks and re salted it ,, -

Its hard one jim. I was given a realy great explaination from charles on the sling shot forum,He also gave me a link ,, But I have no idear how to post links ,,He realy did take the time out to explain in layman terms verlocity ,fps , ft/lbs , On bigger black powder calibers, On a few questions I asked .. while speed matters ,so does force I find It crazy that something traveling slower can hit harder.. But I think I am going off the question relic asked,, It will just be practice with both on your range as then you will get the answer yourself as one man force will change the outcome of your

While I've done loads of research on this.Also ive asked others who are better at explaining this than I am.You would have to weigh each leadball or steelball, Then take into account the distance as drop will happen even at one stride differance,,But stood at 15 yards I found a drop of at least 9 inch or more from 12mm lead to 10mm lead at the same distance,There is loads of info about this on sling shot forum ,, Also ppl who will take time out to explain it better than I can, Hope this helps maybe sheffield cattys can post a link on this

LOL. They would have had some explaining to do if she had slipped out if that harness. I bet she would have at least made a few hundred metres. I don't think BPR's cardboard bb backstop would have faired too well. Blue pocket rocket has left the building :'( lol

sorry i ment 45mm cheers fil Is this inside of forks the gap or the measurement of the hole forks? Sorry in advadce as I didnt make it clear enough, I find it realy hard to use small cattys,, I make them try them but cant work out why the power is not there same as a bigger fork gap.. I dont mean its not possible to do just I cant use them are you testin the power with a chrono? if there is its negligible, its how long you hold the bands, I don't use a chrono I am too tight to buy one.. I just know from my tin can target range, which is a old carpet backet with thin ply behind it, W

Well am calling it roylan catapult elastic...comes in green or orange.......... I upset loads of dub dub fans I tryed orange,, said it was for girls,, I would realy like to see anyone hunt with orange roylan single tubes

It comes in wide strips so you cut it into strips.The lenth also the width you cut it will make the power stronger or weaker,I would say its easy strong enough for hunting ,On the charts Ive looked at before. Its just below gold in strenth of pull ,,, so It should be ok for hunting hope this helps . atb mick

Made This Today What You Think Realy
micckey replied to bigoy19706's topic in Catapult & Slingshot Hunting
Well there is no wrong way or right way to add oil to woods some woods soak more oils up .. True Oil is a sticky expensive waste of time and is more like a varnish ,, Danish oil works good too and tung oil,I've even french polished a catty ,, No one will ever agree on which is best ,, But you dont want it too shinny or slippy or you will lose grip ,, Some use lacquer spay over paint. ) atb mick
