Nice cattys, too big for the pocket though really. I hit the frame and the webbing between thumb and finger with mine, stung a bit. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hit the frame and the webbing between thumb and finger with mine, stung a bit. Haven't shot mine for years , but haven't shot TTF for years either. Like you say great catty but huge. I always found the handles cold to hold in the dead of winter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Leo Sayer 3,624 Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 Regarding frames what’s everyone’s sweet spot ? Mine is a 90mm , I can shoot 85 and 100mm but deffo sweet spot 90mm. Tbh there are some frames that I’ve bought that for love nor money can I shoot , I just don’t get on with them at all and a shame coz a nice frame. Same as shooting tubes over flat band , I just don’t get on with it. Tube seems a slower trajectory to me and I just don’t like it . Shame as again I have some nice small gypsy style frames but can’t shoot em . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oxo 533 Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 90mm seems right for me, the best I've ever shot was a uniphoxx with light bands (87mm?). Too small and no good for hunting though. Struggle with tubes too. Prefer clips now too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tatsblisters 10,925 Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 I seem to be a bit more accurate with the 95mm wasp apex and 9.5 steels. Never shot tubes but my mate swears by them on a millbro frame and he won't shoot anything else and his kill rate and accuracy is very good. My problem is with having a variety of frames is practising and using the one frame all the time. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 31,126 Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 I have never measured or known my fork size lol if it feels nice in the hand and hits what you point at that will do especially with nattys though I do tend to like smaller frames 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No mate I,m just all wrong I hold the frame in the wrong hand and my elastics long so as long as my elastic touch,s the tip of my nose and I look along the elastic I’m good to go, move the anchor point up or down a few mil between frames if ness, just got a new scout put a tin on the fence for a few shots hit the fence in the same spot but bellow the tin lower a few mil and straight through the tin then two woodies on my walk I spent most of my life with stick forks which I guess just makes you adapt the milbro came out but we couldn’t afford one, so a two pence boot tongue pouch and two foot of elastic from the hardware and we were off lol 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
