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 .
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
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!
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?
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.
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
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
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

Nice easy to follow video, Nice one..
Good instruction and advice on making up your own band sets. Thanks.
It looks so easy for you John
This is probably a great video, if only I could see it. The work you're demonstrating is lost in shadow.
Nice vid 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?
Great video, How often should you replace the band set ?
great job, thanks for this tutorial.
Which slingshot is in the video and where do I get this?
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.
I usually have the rough side of the leather face outside for extra grip
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
Sorry, I mean your band ties at the fork, not the pouch attachment. Why do you leave so much TBG hanging at the fork?
i wish i could fiend this There-band in my country!
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
leaving excess theraband past your ties is only going to add weight and slow the shot down, i always keep weight as little as possible
John can you let me no how to order 1 or 2 of your slingshots thanks .
what kind of leather you use, and who thick it is
martkt10 if u r fork is in good condition it will last maybe 1 and a half or if u r like 2
Hey John what are the clamps you use on you jig? Cant find them on your website.
Thanks in advance.
hiya,, which end ( 25mm or 20mm) goes to the pouch and which end goes to the forks?
Please help, how long should i make my bands?
Is that a ttf band set or ott
save fendley amazon or ebay is the best place it's about 4 to 6 pound for a meter and that will make 5 or 6 catoults
Where do you get your leather from?
Can you do a tutorial about flicking your slingshot
Hi john, was just wondering if you sell the catapult that was in the video?
How long should the bands be?
Hi John
Where can i buy leather
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

What a silly comment!
