your vids brought out the boy in me. I have been hunting for years,airgun, shotty and practice field archery. I started whittling a year ago and my boy started ysing cattys,12yrs old. A good catty for me and my lad is my next project.. thanks gamey, your some marksman mate, love your informative vids,
I don't know John but on re-entering into this hobby after about 20 years away from it, he gave me some sound advice and sold me the Milbro MKIII and I am well impressed with the quality, not to mention accuracy of this catty as I'm hitting targets that I wasnt hitting with a cheaper made catty, that I bought from eBay. Very impressed. Additionally I think the price of his band-sets and patches are very reasonable, of course you have to pay for his time in punching and cutting them to length.
Come on John don't you know you should give all your products away for free . God forbid you make a living . Great vids getting ready to buy two of your slingshots . Looking at pocket rocket 5 and your pinky poacher . Keep up the good work .
To all the haters. The items may only be valued at a very low cost price, one thing that has been forgotten is that time costs money. Give the guy a break!
great sets, I make em by hand since I do not have a jig haha, they are not always perfect but work! Wish I had some nicer pouches but I just make those too haha. Great video, wish I could get my hands on one of your bandsets!
Thank you for this video John. If I might make a suggestion for a further vid, how about a good tutorial on hunting with a slingshot. Like what time to go out, where to look for what animals. ATB. Niels
Thats the cost of the leather not the cost of cutting and puching all the holes etc.... nearly all pouches across the globe by any maker is approx £1 each, cheers - john
Hi john, just about to make my very first catapult ordered all the gear you've recommended i.e. cutting mat and rotary cutter but where's the best place to get the theraband as it seems quite expensive?
Yes john say it how it is mush . Oh an did you send my catty today sound pal . Regards dan also il send you a catty iv made for you to keep cause its abit big for my hands sound pal
what would be the best way of attaching theraband gold to a commercial slingshot like a daisy, marksman, or trumark? I would like to convert my wrist rocket to use bands instead of the tubes.
Do the fork tips have to be the same width as the bands? I have a lovely bit of ash, was just about to sort out the bands and the though occurred to me. I have other, wider natural forks if need be, but I do rather like my piece of ash.
hello from spain, recently bought some rubber band on ebay, model Rolyan in its green / lime color. What is your opinion of these rubber band? Are theraband flat best band? Thanks
Thera band gold is the best mate the bands you have are good for shooting at tins but not hunting... I'd recommend cutting your thera band tapered from 25mm to 20mm :) all the best
Thats weird, you say your leather pouches cost 8p each. Well why did you charge me £1 each ( not inc P&P )when I bought 5 from you a few weeks ago. Can you explain that to me please
WTF ???? A bad sport for trying 2 save people money by not paying OTT on bandsets? & how does it cost £1 to make? i to buy it in bulk 46m rolls and it works out £2.20 a meter, out of 1m i can make 7 double bandsets which is 31p per double set, pouch leather works out approx £8 per meter and makes well over 100 pouches which is about 8p each so actually the cost of a double bandset is about 40p !!! i'm not spoiling anythink for anyone just trying to save all the newcomers and juniors money - JOHN
