Bugz 6 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 i use peanut butter spread onto a cracker biscuit, seems to work a treat for me Quote Link to post
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 No idea about trapping but get a catapult and some ammo. Keep it handy and get a decent shot with it then when the opputunity arrises youve got the chance to make it one less squirrel lol Quote Link to post

Nice shooting mate! i doubt ill be shooting at live quarry anytime soon tho! and ive got a Barnett Black Widow, i don't know what its like i haven't received it yet but would you say this is a good catapult for a first? Ive also purchased some 10mm ball bearings but i didn't know what size to use, and recommendations on the size you recommend? Edited July 23, 2013 by Miikee-L Quote Link to post

Ive also purchased some 10mm ball bearings but i didn't know what size to use, and recommendations on the size you recommend? i used a black widow and didnt get on with it so i took the brace off and put theraband gold on it as the tubes are shite, stupidly heavy pull for little power and the pouch is shite. now its a lot better, easy pull, powerfull and fits in the pocket like a catapult should do, 10mm will be fine for pigeons, rabbits and squirrels, but not with the black widow tubes as they suite really heavy ammo, go on ebay and buy a double theraband gold bandset and you wont regret it Heres mine Edited July 23, 2013 by youcanthide...BANG Quote Link to post

Matt 160 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Don't forget the tunnel if you are using Kanias; a gun is always handy on the trap round, I always use my Stealth .410..... A few fenns and magnums will clear the problem up; if it's a paying job I'd leave the catapult at home... Quote Link to post
Stuart Durrant 2 Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Cheers guys for the advice but as Matt said it is a paid job so don't think it would be appropriate to use a catapult. Quote Link to post
The one 8,397 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 I use the square wire boxes with a fen in the bottom a touch of peanut butter on the trigger ,or a bmi in a cubby with a biscuit at the rear of the cubby as where i trap squirrels theres no shooting allowed Quote Link to post
nod 285 Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Pretty sure the tunnel is not law now matt Quote Link to post
