Dankung Toucan Kill.


Recommended Posts

Banded with looped 1745's and a kangaroo leather pouch. I grabbed a feral for the ferrets this morning, it was roosting under a bridge, 15ft up and about 20 yards away. I had missed a couple of others with 12mm steel and so I grabbed an M 8 hexnut as I know how these shoot. The bird sat up to look at me and my first shot at it hit it square in the face. It pitched forward, hit the floor, flapped onto its back and span around in a circle, before lying still. The hexnut took out it's eye and smashed the right side of the skull.

I need to practice some more with the 12mm steel ball to find out whether they shoot OK and where the aim points are. I wasn't able to see where I was missing but thought it may have been to the left. I'm going to try and driveby a bunny with them later, so I'll need to sharpen up.

I use TBG on most of my hunting frames. But I also hunt with 107 bands and different types of tube.

I like Dankungs, I normally only shoot naturals but I like the way these frames fit in your pocket and hand. The looped tubes are quick with steel and don't have the heavy draw weight that TBG can have.

 

I need to have a day with different ammo and learn the different aimpoints.

Yeah I'm pretty sure I've seen some similar ones on the bay I was thinking over buying. I have always used TBG and wanted to try something different, also the fact my catty is real chunky means its a bit of a pain to shove in a pocket if a nosey member of the public strays too close... I was looking at the mini catty's but was put off by some members on here telling me they are pretty shit. So these Dunkang bands fitting over very thin frames seems ideal for me.

The mini cattys are real hardtop shoot well, IMO.

You can buy cheap Chinese frames for about £5 on ebay but they aren't usually steel. Some of the zinc frames could break. They don't all do it, I've got a zinc one that I've had for ages that's fine, but it's never had a fork strike or been dropped.

Dankung post to the UK, in about 4 days if you pay for express shipping or about 2 weeks with standard. Their frames are stainless steel or better. The Axe Hunter or American Fox are a couple of decent ones that they sell and they are relatively cheap.
