Anything like these or something different? They're Roe, Alder, Oak and Birch.

Once you've had a deerhound X lurcher, you'll always want one. Yeah, you need to let them grow up slowly but when they do they're formidable. They can turn, mine have all entered cover in pursuit, they will face teeth and hooves, seem to know how to please you, use their brains, are a pleasure to train, jump stuff for fun and have enough stamina to last the night/day. They do excel on the big fields where they can really lay down the speed and match any quarry.

There's nothing new in catapults. Board cuts have been around for years and years, look at some of the very early commercial made ones. Multiplex is what most use now as its a very strong ply and works well. As stronger materials are made they'll be used. Theraband flat bands are another example of modern materials replacing older stuff. We used to use flatbands cut from inner tubes, years ago and people have been using it since inner tubes first became available. There's been a recent trend for people to make pickle fork shooters (PFS) and one guy was even claiming to be the invento

Looks a decent shape, can ypu shoot it as it is or does it need wooden scales on the handle?
-
That's not a realistic question.

Spot on, they never take off properly until they feel the dogs breath on their rear end, then they kick on. If you put one up at your feet that's been dozing and hasn't noticed you coming, you'll see just how fast they can hit top speed .

,you practice every day nd have done for 25 years, :laugh: ,,you have more money than me nd live in a better area ,but when i offered to take you on at anything your flapping lips can think of, ,you wanted half way fule,your dog was too young,(i have made no excuses),you say i have to use 5mm to beat you i ve said ok,,you also say i must do my research then i will fear you, :laugh: ,,,yes i somtimes dont even read what you write,,,why because anyone that has to brag about using a catty everyday for 25 years is rather boring :yes: ,5mm steel is easy to get off ebay cheep nd lighter to ca

Hahahahaha!!!!! Riding the back pedalling bicycle are we??? You made the challenge. You said you'd send me and my Lurcher home with our tails between our legs! I know what size 5mm is, I also know what the difference in weight between 5mm and 9mm is. It's enough difference to matter. You were saying that 5mm is more accurate and it'd be doing around 12 ft lbs with double TBG. Now prove it, let's have a hunt you with 5mm and me with .38 conicals. Remember, you stand your ground!!! Lol!!!

I'm sorry micckey (strange spelling), I didn't realise that you weren't well mentally. You've obviously managed to get access to a PC in your secure unit. Now, I'm not wrong, ballistics aren't just about projectile weight but also velocity. Catapults only have a finite amount of velocity available to them. You can't add a bigger case with more powder or more air to a catty projectile. Ask Steve Pope or Ben Taylor about .177 air guns. They won't tune one to do more than about 20 ft lbs. ask yourself why. Nobody follows me and I don't know where that comes from. You need to read back

Did you not read the previous post? Not to do it in this thread. Listen, if you can afford the fuel I'll meet you half way. I ain't coming to yours, I doubt it's what I'm used to. My Lurcher pup is 11 months and deerhound cross. What do you want to match him against? A bit silly again trying to challenge a puppy. Catapults, are we having a hunting comp? Are you using 5mm ammo? It'll be interesting. You aren't trying to help people out, you're giving them advice which isn't correct. No one agrees with you, it's just yourself who uses 5mm ammo and thinks it'll be putting out 12 f

Fair enough mate. PM's it is.

:hmm: :whistling: in air guns why is 177 use for field target shooting rather than 22 + a 22 pellet will kill most game at 20 yards,,so 5mm or 8 mm shot from doubble theraband gold would be shooting well over 12ft lb psi Airguns aren't catapults. You can't compare the two. 5mm is way too small for anything. That's .20 cal. The smallest I use is 9mm steel when I'm shooting through dense branches and leaves. I can thread a steel ball through a gap and headshoot birds or squirrels. 9mm steel doesn't usually kill squirrels, even with a headshot but it knocks them from the tree, if the

Don't put your thumb on that thumb pad!!! You'll shoot your thumb, trust me!!! The forks need to be held parallel to your pouch hand as others have said and the ball/marble needs to be dead centre in the pouch and the pouch needs to be held so that it's perfectly in half and the bands are of equal length. I'd stick with your marbles or try lead or even steel. I wouldn't go any smaller than 9mm steel. Smaller than that has poor accuracy and doesn't retain much energy. I'll try and put a photo up of how you should hold the catty but it won't be today.
-
How do you hold your catty? Hand on the handle like holding a hammer or with your index finger and thumb up on the forks?
-
Because in the midst of all this no one's seen photo's of her/his dogs! I suspect that Irish Lurcher is PM ing to be a pest as he suspects no dogs exist. . I fairness, there's nothing here that makes me think he/she's asking for a bunk up. I don't want to see his/her tits, if they were any good he/she'd take them to a pub and use them there, instead of trying to get attention on the internet.
-
Give the fella a break, these dogs have been on holiday...............................they've had all their vacations!!
-
Do you have transport?
-
Where abouts are you mate?
-
What height do you expect them to make? What are you doing with the one you don't keep?
-
Mate, I run a business during the week, my weekends are spent out with the dog, or with the family. I don't sit glued to the Internet when I could be out doing a bit.
-

-
