gaza 504 Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Stumbled across this section and fancy getting a catapult. My mates got a few and has been having big a lot of fun with them. What would you guys recommend. Spice up my dog walk through a little forestry block. Will see my mate soon and probably be able to borrow one but what would you recommend. What’s the difference between tubing and bands? cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Wilkes 2,914 Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 If your just starting out I’d have a look at a hdpe from Nick hegarty on eBay or catch him on Facebook group catapult addicts, as for flats and tubes.. it’s really just what you preferr , flats are faster but tubes last a lot longer Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Wilkes 2,914 Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Asa does some lovely stuff and so does John Jeffries but I think he’s made the right decision as a beginner . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t worry about it mate I am classed as crack handed because I’m right handed and hold my fork with my right hand I also pull my bands back behind my head instead of an anchor point on my face but it don’t matter just find what suits you and perfect your own technique Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gaza 504 Posted February 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Haha yeah will definitely find my own way. I thought if your right handed you hold it in your left and draw with your right- but I must be a bit gammy. Ball bearings coming tomorrow from Reece. Just been my dads though and he’s had a play and snapped one of the bands! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
