But like you say nightmare at raiding nests. Well done mate. I'm finding it hard getting used to these new cattys. That simple shot my son got gifted that he lost i went out with him with that. An was doing well with that so was he. Im guns order another. With these new ones I'm always hitting my hand. Caught myself last week in-between my thumb an finger just at side of my knuckle. Smarted abit lol They no longer make the scout lt mate, they've done a upgraded version but it's a change again.. they do come up for sale in the catty groups every so often. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A certain style fits my hand well were as some don't unfortunately no matter how nice they are. And I can only shoot 90mm to 100mm width forks. Also I'd love to shoot tube but am useless with it and only shoot flatband. I've only been shooting about 4 years or so. And it was just practice practice practice and more practice until I got proficient. That's what I need to do put the hours in practising 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Same as mate and i have collected a few now over the year's and last week i ended up buying another wasp apex after some how loosing my last one and this one i have definitely left the paracord off and streight away started hitting targets with it far better than i could with my cattyshack hgh and i do seem to have a bit more success hitting targets with a couple of different frames from wasp. It's a case of buying and trying and like you say practice practice practice and stick to the frame that you seem to have more success with. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
