Longers7 720 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 If your elastic keeps breaking it could be that the ammo you are using is too light for it mate, what elastic are you using? And what ammo are you using? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blackbriar 8,568 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 if I used marbles would the shatter in say a pigion or a rabbit No mate, they won't. I personally prefer marbles, just because they're cheap and easy to get hold of, but your best bet is probably to experiment a bit - see what works best for you and for your catty. Try different ammo's and find one you can shot consistently. Good luck ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
