darrren 414 Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Anyone on here shoot squares? I'm enjoying making traditional style catties at thr moment and I'm going to put square on, can't see it causing accuracy issues? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 25,165 Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Used to buy it by the foot in the local hardware shop as a kid they would just peel it off a massive roll also had a box full of leather boot tongues for pouch,s have not seen it for years, we used to use some massive ammo with it car wheel nuts being a favourite good luck let us no how it goes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
leegreen 2,099 Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 They still sell it down the local gun shop, it'll be readily available on the net https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/173439958169 there you go. Might get my self a bit and get the Milbro out. I don't think there will be any accuracy issues, it may take some getting used to. Personally I don' think I could get any worse 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darrren 414 Posted October 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Haha fair enough, I think it's easy to get lost on the bandwagon of all the bands etc these days, I fancy something simple, traditional, and pleasing to the eye. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

darrren 414 Posted October 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Funnily enough mate I attached some barnett red bands to a brass frame last. Are they better with big ammo are they? Do body shots drop stuff with ammo that big? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But im shooting stuff fairly close either sat in bramble or hedges or in trees at night. Body shots are no problem but i try not to shoot stuff chest on crop or through the sides better.

darrren 414 Posted October 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Looks a nice sling that mate. I do kill plenty but sometimes a head shot is hard with small ammo so fancy going back old school. Lovely catty mate. And those bands thrown the 16s isit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darrren 414 Posted October 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Also to change the pouch, do you just cut the old on or undo it where it had been spliced and slotted back through it self? This is how I've attached the bands to my old catty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
