I found my old catty in the shed a few weeks ago, Pigeon on the electricity pylon missed twice, then hit it right in the head, it just looked at me and flew off. next shot the band snapped. Mind they must have been on there at least 5 years or even longer.

You have to be careful in there, park rangers would be straight on you if anyone reported you, loads of squirrels, pigeons, parrots etc, she was jogging past, very pretty lady ?

My first introduction to them was an imperial mint up side the head from a mate from a good 70 yards .After that I had to have one .Shot many pheasants to roost and pigeons .Never mastered the running shot but mate used to take his ratting with the smoker and whack a few on the move and in trees .Decent in the right hands .Used to collect lorry wheel bearing ballbearings from a fitters shop and use them about 8 mm I guess .Used to practice on fray bentos pie tins at 20 m ?

Went out the other night at dusk with thermal and shot a jay with my catty ,  was pleased as first one I've shot with a catty. That thermal opens up a whole new world when wondering about with it. I wished I'd of bought one sooner.

 

Loving the avatar Mac, years and years ago when I was having a go at different little businesses here and  there my mates used to call me Mr Ben pmsl .
