Guest whippet Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Went out for a walk earlier with slingshot (Barnett Black Widow) in coat pocket and with marbles for ammo. Went along a nice public footpath that is absolutely loaded with rabbits, got quite a few shot opportunities but shagged them up. I was coming to the end of the footpath and spyed a few rabbits about 30 yards away, picked one out, pulled back and let go. Thwock! Hit it right on the bonce and it fell over , it was only knocked out so I legged it over and gave the poor wee dear a nice neck massage :whistle: Only a quarter grown, but still proud of the shot. I'm gonna start taking my catty with me whenever I go for walks now but need some proper metal ammo for it. Ego's slighly inflated now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest whippet Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 I got a shot at a squizz but missed by a few inches, I can see how a catty would be handy when shooting squirrels, to make ones that have hidden in the foliage but you can't see them, move. I agree about the steel balls, I have run out of them though. I am trying to find a supplier who can supply them in bulk and not marketed as catty ammo (I.e. not overpriced). I'll give you a shout if I do find someone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest baldie Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 barnett used to do a lead mould[ i,ve got one] makes 4, 38cal[ the best size] and 4 .45 cal balls at one go, if its no longer available, try your local gunshop, .38 is the best size, loads of moulds available for 15 to 20 quid.
