Oak Natty.

Recently bought this oak Natty and I’m liking the way it handles.

Got one very similar for my boy....

Sometimes I think we over complicate it, a simple fork , rubber and a pouch does just as well in the right hands.

Gona try naturals for myself. Atm the cheaper plywood versions seem to work better for me. Although I do like the idea of sourcing one myself and banding it up. Nice shooting Mr Wilkes

Where did you pick it up if you don't mind me asking ?

From a guy called Lee Wyld on Facebook, he makes some cracking natural cattys.

Tats, in the beginning it can be a bit fiddly, especially with narrow forks. Get yourself off to Tesco and buy a roll of double sided tape from their stationary section. Cut a couple of tabs and stick 'em to the front of the forks.

 Position your bands, press 'em firmly onto the frame and voila, they're held in place while you concentrate on getting your wrap and tuck done.

 

Cheers I will give this method a go.
