RossM 7,979 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Dankung toucan.... Tbh gnasher.... Yes,some catapults suit some people....but it ain't the catty what makes you accurate... a gamekeeper chunky milbro is a perfect catapult to start with.... You need to stick to one frame... And shoot and shoot it... And don't think that it's the frame what's not working.... It's you... Or something about your shooting... It could be something very simple... And use steel ammo... Stones are inconsistent... Some people can shoot Em.... Some Can't.... oh no i accept a good workman dont blame his tools im absolutely useless at the moment just wondered if a change of type might help a little........must admit ive been practising with stones maybe thats not a good idea......cheers. Relax gnash....... I've got 2 style/types and I'm just as shite with either........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ocset 91 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Use ball bearings or marbles or bullet heads or hex nuts or bits of cut metal bar. They'll all be more accurate than stones. Stones are all different size and weights. Even 2 identically shaped stones can be different weights and fly differently. If you really struggle and are ever near Croydon or the Surrey/Sussex borders I'll meet up with you and we can sort out what frame and bands suit you best. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RossM 7,979 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 You think you'd get on better with a pistol like grip gnash? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 29,663 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Im not sure mate i have got big clumsy hands which dont help but a big problem i have is getting the ammo to travel through the forks rather than clipping them ( or my hand ).................ive tried gripping it sideways and straight up it makes no difference.................and now because ive hit my hands so many times im being a bit of a sissy about fully committing to drawing it right back !...............In some ways i wish it was a bit bigger as my hands are already f****d Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Longers7 720 Posted May 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Try using a TTF catty gnasher, I couldn't shoot a milbro like you got for shit when I first started so I started using a TTF catty, I find it much more accurate, plus no fork hits or hand slaps hers one I made that I use . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
