BEARINATOR 2,825 Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Wasp or that one already posted, I am thinking of getting a clip one as easier than tying bands on so might be worth you getting a clip type as loads are swapping to them https://www.waspslingshots.co.uk/product-page/new-wasp-logo-printed-uniphoxx-slingshot-kit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel cain 42,890 Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 these are a good little frame to keep in a pocket/ cost you more for decent bands..f**k off the band's they send you( only good for target practice),beef them up abit and away you go Professional Double Aiming Sights Resin Hunting Slingshot Archery Catapult WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for Professional Double Aiming Sights Resin Hunting... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
booboy2 139 Posted April 15, 2023 Report Share Posted April 15, 2023 I would say either wasp or nick hagerty are your best starter cattys because of price and material wise there very forgiven in the way of fork and frame hits while finding both your suited style and suited frame width because until you find them your never going to progress in both accuracy and consistency in shooting 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tatsblisters 7,950 Posted April 15, 2023 Report Share Posted April 15, 2023 I have a few now in my collection and i would say the wasp catapults are the best value for money catapults out their for clipped frames though their is a lad on eBay doing a clipped frame for 20notes that look decent. Its only my opinion and no matter how much i practise with them i can't seem to get consistent with them and that's the hedgerow hunter and the EVO clipped catapults from catty shack though both are very well made . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 1,787 Posted April 15, 2023 Report Share Posted April 15, 2023 Another thumbs up for the Scout from me too. I've also got their slightly smaller version (simply because it fits in a pocket better) but I usually prefer to use the original one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good well made catapult and easy to change the bands with an old one pence piece instead of an alum key like other clipped catapults. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I like that about it. One thing I find though is if I use the corner for reference theres quite a lot going on with it so I have trouble knowing what to line up. But thats a me thing 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
