jazmin 42 Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 Ive been using flatbands .75 and 9.5 steel but ordered some 1745 tube as ive cast some 10mm leads for hunting in near future, do many of you use tubes? Also on a short draw would these tubes handle 10mm lead in a single set up? And what ranges do you all shoot lead up to for hunting, the mould i bought was a ebay fishing sinker type size 1 which for £13 works really well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Devon Minnow 152 Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 No you will have it double them up (looped) should be good out to 25+metre, it a heavy draw mind, if you want just singles better look at Orange or Green dub dub or 5070 tube. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Wilkes 2,914 Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 As Minnow says best looped 1745 for 10mm lead. I shoot 11mm steel with my set up which is roughly the same weight as 10mm lead and kill out to 25 + yards easily. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jazmin 42 Posted June 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 So got tubes made up yesterday but the clips on scout copy dont grip them very well also got a little wasp frame which ive had bands on and tried but not sure if i like how small it is to hold with a decent draw band on it... might slot the frame through to accept bands on the scout copy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Wilkes 2,914 Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 No mate the tubes don’t sit right/ tighten down on the xt or copy properly. The new flip clips are good tho. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
C.green 3,203 Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 I been shooting well with theraband purple-blue and 10mm lead. Them scouts are rubbish imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Wilkes 2,914 Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 Rubbish as in looks or your ability to shoot one ?. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Wilkes 2,914 Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 I have had some top named/brand cattys worth hundreds and not been able to shoot them. I envy anyone who can pick up any type of Catty and shoot it well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ive killed loads with one just think the new ones are very overated amd not as good as the cooy one in my opinion. I just dont see why folk rave about them 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
C.green 3,203 Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 Couple days out with the scout wintertime 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Wilkes 2,914 Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 I don’t shoot anything as well as a scout lt, they suit my style of shooting and are very pocketable for when I need to get it out of sight. A lad I know shoots a evo really well…. Me.. I’m crap with one. Each to their own I suppose. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
