  1. Catapult Wanted

    checked your page. nice work. now what would consider a good type for general use.for a left handed old fogey
    if your not an experienced shooter forget plywood catty,s, they will fall to bits after 2/3 fork hits, they may look the bollacks but don't last, sorry to nick if that's his business but in my experience, ply catty,s are great for those making them but not for people buying, a proshot bloodshot is £25 made from solid ally and will last a lifetime, fires flats or tubes,left or right handed and in any grip you like and in my opinion is the best starter catty out there, i feel a bit bad for saying it as I know there are a lot of people making money from it, but it's not fair taking money from people just because they are a bit naive, I think it also puts people off a sport when there new pride and joy ends up in the bin after a couple of shots, were as a well made catty can last a lifetime and even end up spanning a generation, just look at how many original milbro,s there are still out there, even a decent hazel fork will take a good beating and last years that's why they make walking sticks from it, so do tread carefully
    That's a load of bollocks. Correct grade ply takes fork hits great, it's a cheap but functional catty to get the correct form. There's no single catty or catty material for everybody. What suits one won't suit another. But ply is a great cheap starter option and stating they fall to bits is nonsense as long as the ply is quality.

    Ye that will be it mate. What I do is pre-tense the bands before you draw and try keep them level while pulling back. Rather than pulling back while the bands are slack as I think you'll tend to keep the catapult at whatever position it is when you start pulling rather than adjusting to keep it level.

    Just an update. She's started gripping with her bad foot again and the swelling does look to have reduced slightly. She was using her foot to grab the chicks today rather than using the other foot only so some improvement at least. Plenty of rest and she should be ok. Just glad it happened this early on rather than during he season

    Think she's just pulled it baiting from the perch all the time but all her foots swollen up. Been given some metacam but doesn't seem to have done anything. Nearest avian vets is 2 hours away and I think she's out he office because I haven't been able to get through on the two numbers I've been given. At a loss

    Metacam and Loxicom are the same stuff so either will do, vets will treat a hawk with it but I've always had to sign a disclaimer form first. Birds need a much higher dose than a dog per kilo body weight. It's thick enough stuff so I find its easier to squirt liquid into a day old chick than give it in tablet form.

    Been giving it into the chick but not seen much improvement and trying to get her into the vets is becoming a joke

    Well that's the deposit place. Antagonising wait now :(

     

    To be honest mate it was spur of the moment. The bloke that showed me the ropes had the pair a few year ago. Now this pair isn't how usual harris/reds are bred as they are a male Harris into a female red rather than the other way so they are more harris like than they would be the other way round. Anyway this bloke sold the pair to a mate of his and in three years he's only managed to hatch one female which apparently is smashing the hares. I was at the blokes house while he was on the phone to the man with the pair telling him he's got three chicks so I thought f**k it I've always wondered about them anyway so I'll have one. I did have a redtail in mind anyway but might aswell try something completely new.

    Going to see a man about a female redtail x harris for the coming season. Bit of luck I'll be putting a deposit down to pick the chick up in 4 months time. English pointer pups started showing promise too so with any luck this season will be my best yet. Good times ahead
