youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) what are the best catapult tube bands for hunting with 12mm lead. gonna replace the bands on my new slingshot as they are wearing but whats best. cannot attatch flat bands due to the catapult design. i want to double the bands up or is this not recommended seen the video of gamekeeper john using dub dub elastic is this the best or not. thanks Edited April 1, 2013 by youcanthide...BANG Quote Link to post Share on other sites
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted April 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 im hoping to hunt with the elastic aswell once i get a good enough shot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted April 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 or could i use double theraband gold and attatch it as you would a leather pouch so put the elastic over the top groove then pull it through and rest it on the above elastic then bind it as you would a pouch or would this make it inaccurate or cause any problems this is the catty http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=370707687213&index=8&nav=SEARCH&nid=57080234171 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B.P.R 2,798 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 What catapult do you have? Attach the double theraband gold by using a knotted piece of paracord and attaching the bands to that. Like so... Works with tubes too... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 its the one in the link bud. like the paracord idea will give it a go.thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B.P.R 2,798 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Have you bought it, or thinking about buying it? Theyre not too good tbh.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 ye ive already bought it. just using it to get to grips see if i like it before i buy a proper one. didnt want to buy a handmade one until i know how to shoot them properly as id probably up shooting the forks and damaging it lol. the forks are wider than a handmade one so there more forgiving until i get to grips with catapult shooting. thanks for the help bud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B.P.R 2,798 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 You wont get a feel for the slingshot with one of them mate. Theyre completely different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 im gonna get rid and go with the advice of getting a homemade one. im after a design like the one in bpr second pic or one like this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B.P.R 2,798 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Just realised your wanting to sling 12mm lead...... With that? Mate, for 12mm lead id definitley go for something better The last ones similar to the above turned out like so... Double theraband gold...will sling 12mm lead with ease Quote Link to post Share on other sites
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 so if there are any catapult makers that sell a design like that and fitted with theraband drop me a pm. ideally would like to pay via paypal. thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
