gurnster75 21 Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 I lost my Permission for my air rifle a good few years back when I moved from Scotland to England, stumbled across this forum and the glory days of hitting sod all with my Black Widow came flooding back so thought a catty would be ideal instead of an air rifle. Cheaper and a lot easier to conceal on a mooch, plus not classed as armed trespass - bonus. I've read all the old posts rather than ask the same question of best newbie catapult, so I've bought a snide scout off eBay, some gzk bands from Sheepy and the biggest outlay 6000 9.5 balls from balls of steel. I'll let you know how I get on. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Wilkes 2,914 Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 Can’t remember last time I went out with the guns... much prefer a mooch wi the catty, the set up you have will def put game in the bag ... what bands you get from sheep’s ?. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gurnster75 21 Posted October 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 Green GZK OTT .76 23/18. Reading the threads on here I was looking for 25/20 but didn't seem to be any decent ones on eBay and I had a limited time discount voucher so went for these, as I've got nothing to compare against I thought why not. His add stated best with 9.5 balls and plenty of poke for game so time will tell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Wilkes 2,914 Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Yes they will be ok, 25/20 will have too much poke for 9.5s 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oxo 381 Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Just fitted new 25/20 1mm gzk to a tac hammer, usually TTF but went ott this time. Had 3 shots yesterday with 9.5 and gave up, hand slap was terrific. Back to TTF or lead! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darrren 414 Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Just remember 1 on the catty is worth 20 on the gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
