paddy.t 8 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Just wondering how many on you on here hunt with catapults/slingshots or any other names you have for 'em' Im quite suprised how accurate they can be. I know fishfish makes some very nice ones. What would you guys say is the best readily available ammo? At min im using large rounde pebbles and are working fine for me.

Paddy my oldman used to do it when he was my age, use to silouette pheasant, he used led folded and hammered until round enough to be accurate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

claybusers al 9 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 marbles are good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paddy.t 8 Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Good idea about the poll. Only thing about marbles is they make a mess when they shatter. round pebbles are working fine for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
