Adrian Kenny 64 Posted January 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Work better? I had singles and said I would try doubles.. Am hitting harder (cans) harder to draw was just getting used to them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1Wally 204 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Looks mint mate, it's not that it won't chuck the lighter ammo banded like that, just that you'll have more hand slap and the bands tend to wear faster. It's bet to match the bands to he ammo that's all. Ace catty all the same 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roosika 110 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Yeah mate singles shoot bwtter lighter ammo or try double 15mm 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Quality mate. The bands will be fine, doubt you will get handslap and with the cold weather the doubles will be better as ive found single flats to reduce too much speed wise for me when its so cold 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adrian Kenny 64 Posted January 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Thanks gents, just took it out the doubles are taking a while to get used to 25cm long and my draw is not as long as when I had them it on singles, the 9.5's are fricking fast but at 40-50 feet those hexnuts are spanking cans am well happy! Gonna play around with the bandsets thanks for the advice Working on a few more should have them all done by the weekend (have cut enough blanks for 10 more) next one am gonna try do like a pinky hole but for the index and the thumb (if you can imagine that) am defo hooked lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LurcherLad94 2,582 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 like that mate well done Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roosika 110 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Yeah mate all personal to you I like.singles for light ammo tbh but aslong as your doing good with it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adrian Kenny 64 Posted January 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Just giving the doubles a try out am hitting so might jinx it if I change lol! Was using tubes before on a different catty so all quite new to me, having great fun trying out the different band sets once I got the hang of tying them on.. What's the best taper? I have just copied the one that came with it 25-20 is 30 better ? Am gonna try it out have loads of TBG about 10 meters so gonna see what works! Ordered some 12mm steel to see what they go like - but not a huge fan on big thwacky ammo there's a god punch to the 9.5's at 40 feet through a coke can out the back would certainly stop a bunny reckon it would bloody hurt me any way lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adrian Kenny 64 Posted January 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Oh and I thought in the beginning that handslap was just a part of it so just put up with it lol! When I got a bit better i realised it doesn't happen as much haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roosika 110 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Nor mate your set up at 25-20 doubles atm would rocket 14mm leads ! Singles in cold weather I would use 30-20.... warm weather probs the same but could.use 25-20 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
