Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted March 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 I love them mate. Whichever catty I put them on, I can't seem to go wrong. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lapin2008 1,587 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Good shooting! I bought myself a catty recently, looks like the same one as you have there Gaz. First time in about 20 years I have owned or used one.... turns out I still cant hit a cows arse with a banjo! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted March 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 It's good fun mate and great for feeding ferrets. I've come a long way in a short space of time. A few weeks ago I couldn't hit a 2 litre bottle at 10 Yards. I'm still really hit and miss though. Only yesterday I was practicing on a coke can with my mate at about 7-8 yards and missed a few times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lapin2008 1,587 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 I am not too bad I suppose, just used to always carry one with me when out with the dogs as a kid. I just havent used one for ages either. I took the dogs for a blast the other day with catty in pocket, with all sorts of daft 'one for the pot' notions in my head,headed to a place I knew would hold a reasonable chance of some pheasants and and a possible duck... After 25 minutes with the dogs at heal watching me in disgust as I missed shot after shot and let stuff get away... I just let them get on with it in the end.. got to the same result just without me embarrassing myself 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pip1968 2,490 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 well done gaz,i find im a better shot at distance rather than having something close to shoot but i think thats down to my nerves when you think you cant miss 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.338winmag 78 Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Gaz nice shooting that catty though some of those is made of like pot metal an they can break off a fork quite readily just seen one last night some fellah tapped to see what a fork hit might do an the fork broke off clean as a whistle ,so just a heads up be safe man.

Really? That's surprising. I really like this catty. I'm gonna twat it with a hammer now and see what happens Saying that, I've heard a few lads saying they've had fork hits and snapped catapults. How bad a shot must you be to hit the forks? I'm pretty new to catapults. I've fired about 2000 shots give or take. Not hit the forks though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty poor when plinking at cans in the garden. But I've surprised myself with these couple of kills. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hixxy1979 18 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I own a simple black widow and at 15 to 25 yards I'm 3 out of 5 on rabbit size target but that doesn't mean a head shot or kill shot so going to practice some more as don't fancy chasing a wounded animal around. Maybe laddie could pick it off for me (my saluki) he's also a little new to this. He has taken a few rabbits though. Yet to bring back to me though. Time will tell!
