Deker 3,491 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 My trusty, faithful Reddicat has finally given up after about 16 years....... This has been great, and the best operating and VFM catapult I have had, but I can't seem to find these anymore. Does anyone know if they are still available or if there is a modern equivalent? I can't seem to find any appropriate elastic either, if someone could steer me in that direction it would be great, it's just the elastic that's broken, the frame is fine. Many thanks.

ratbuster 808 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Some Dub-Dub catapult elastic should do the trick http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rolyan-Exercise-Catapult-Tubing-Rubber-Band-Slingshot-Resistant-Elastic-Dub-Dub-/251270602578 Hopes this helps in restoring old faithful to its former glory. 1 Quote Link to post
gnipper 6,870 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Looks like some dankung tubing would fit it nicely. Quote Link to post
Deker 3,491 Posted September 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Thanks everyone, it seems the Dankung 3060 tubing is the stuff, so I'm ordering some of that. During the search I found this daft thing, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bait-Thrower-Kit-Fishing-Bait-Accessories-Slinger-Carp-Bowfishing-Catapult-JB21-/262022725800?hash=item3d01c580a8 which seems to work on the same principle of the tubing running through the handle. The whole thing, and the tubing don't seem as strong as the Reddicat, but I've ordered one anyway, at that price it must be worth a try for some close work. I find the catapults rather useful as I have managed to break both shoulders and an arm over the years, so I throw like a girlie these days! Cheers Quote Link to post
