The Pest Expert Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 no problem mate, think i am going to have a go at making my own... JDF to be honest i did see a video on youtube about doing it and it looked awesome when complete i think that would be a buzz to use because you made it yourself let me no if you do might have to take the challenge myself all the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDFrain Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Got some black theraband today from our physio department seems to be the strongest theraband available that is suitable to use for catapults. the leather pouch is also ordered. Cost so far £1.30 JDF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 If you are going to make your own catapult, do it the old way with a modern twist,.......for the crotch only use cherry wood, and for the elastic use an already made up elastic and leather replacment for a "black widow" catapult, i have one in the landy all the time and a bag of 3/4" rounded gravel,...its the ideal tool when you are picking up and have a pricked bird hung up a tree............and its great for releiving boredom with a mate.......

Bionic Man Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Years ago made one for my lad, used theraband and the tongue from one of my old combat boots as the pouch. Had to use the blue theraband as the black was too resistant for him to pull. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
