Darren godfrey cheers Darren. I’m not a fan of wrap and tuck for attaching pouches, but knotting this ribbon is great! I’ve used paracord and twine in the past, but I’ve definitely found this is the best way for me.
Nice tip that mate, I’ve always used wrap and tuck, do you just do a double knot with that ribbon? Just started use of constrictor knots too, seems to be working well! 👍🏼
That's a great tip Wayne, and one I now use when tying my bands. I have a question about band life. I've seen other TH-camrs recommend tying up bandsets right before use, rather than pre-tying them. Do you believe there's any noticeable reduction in band life if they've been tied in advance, due to the stretch preload placed on the band ends while attaching the pouches?
@@CattyShackHunter Thanks Wayne. I've never noticed any problems with pre-tying all the bands I expect to use for several months in advance. But since several TH-camrs advised against that, due to stress on the elastic near the pouch, I thought I'd get your take on it.
What tests can I do to know if my slingshot can kill pigeons with body shots? I use sheshou 0.75 and 10 mm steel ball, my drawing is 75 cm approx. Thanks
So staying in the limits of band size(sheshou 0.75) and draw length of 75cm what are the options smaller ammo size? lead vs steel? Ammo shape hex nut baby bean?
I hunt pigeon and squirrel with 0.65 precise bands and 8mm steel ball.. band taper cut to 25-15 and it work fine.. but i never attempt a body shot even on a small pigeon, its not humane..
@@CattyShackHunter. I ordered a jig from you and it arrived yesterday. I will be using your method for tying on my pouches. I'm new to this so thank you for all your hard work and videos.
great all videos...how much pull weight from a rubber like tbg is required for hunting with 10 mm lead...when your anchor point is your cheek or say 28 inches with with 6 inches is band...thanks a lot for sharing lots of useful information...wanted to know an average person limit to power and accuracy
@@CattyShackHunter thanks a lot but still while using one brand of band you can know some thing ...i knew you dont use tbg i heard in one of your video...which rubber you use... thanks a lot for your reply...
@@CattyShackHunter thanks a lot with your experience i just want to know is it possible to take a pleasant with body shot within ten mtrs..with 7.5 gram lead .
Wayne I've been doing this for a while after seeing this tip and my bands last twice as long or longer as they used to. Thanks mate 👍
Started doing my own bands not long ago and been using this tip ever since. Thx for it!
Great info! Thanks! That’s how I tye my pouches !
victor garcia 👍👍👍
Fair play Wayne I've not used wrap an tuck for year but from experience I know 100%that will work

Thanks Wayne... i will be going for the HGH & EVO next year
Work of art Wayne...
leonard whelehan cheers Leonard 👍
Makes sense 👍🏼 I’ll give it a go😉
Great tip, mate! That's exactly where each of my bands have failed.
StanCrafted they will most likely still fail there, but with a bit of luck you should be getting a few more shots out of your bands first 👍
Genius.
Giovanie Eugenio thanks man 👍
Thank you, ive been trying to figure out why my bands kept snapping at the pouch so often. 👍
great stuff fella
Top vid with a top tip pal
Very good. Thanks.

Ash Outdoors UK yes mate, double knot and it won’t budge 👍

I’ve never noticed a difference to be completely honest.

Dear Sir!
Could I have a private question in a message?
Hiya Wayne, what length are you using to tie your bands in this vid mate 👍
Lee vespa probably about 5” mate
What tests can I do to know if my slingshot can kill pigeons with body shots? I use sheshou 0.75 and 10 mm steel ball, my drawing is 75 cm approx. Thanks
Claudio Bravo you can’t, and it won’t, is the best answer I’m afraid.

@Hi Catty Shack. Do you still stand by and use this method or have you found a better way?
Yes absolutely! 👍

yasir arafat I really don’t know about tbg, and draw weight doesn’t tell you anything about speed when it comes to catapults I’m afraid.
I use a draw weight of around 8kg

yasir arafat at the moment I am testing a few different bands. But for a while before that I’ve been using my Catty Shack Hunting Series band.
