Underdog Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 It's just a cheap thing off eBay, I lost it somehow recently and had to but another this week. A different one with a magnet built in to hold ammo. Seems good so far. The rabbit was about 25yds with a 10mm steel ball. The squirrel was in a small tree, ten yds or so.

Les*1066 Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 theraband.................is that the tubular elastic ? You can get it in two forms - tubular and flat. Both are very effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFN Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 I used the flat type but it looks a bit ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While most of the world hunts legally with arrow we have to stick to cattys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdog Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Because UK hunting laws are dafter than a bag of frogs ,if it makes sense to us it doesn,t to a politician Using archery equipment actually makes a lot of sense, it is a lot safer in some areas than a bullet and proven the world over to be just as humane, certainly peaceful and less stressful to the quarry.

winnie&bezza Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 They should bring bow hunting back but have licenses for it and then you should have to go on a course to prove you are accurate enough etc to hunt live quarry with it.

clakk Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) Shouldn,t need a course a simple range test would prove your safe and accurate with a bow and arrow.And if you already have SGC or FAC you,ve already been checked by the police .Dont start mentioning courses ,people will see ££££ and offer to provide one as long as it,s a legal requirement that you only use them Edited November 9, 2015 by clakk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentalmac Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 If you like cattys, check out JoergSprave channel on youtube, he's a fairly eccentric crazy German chap who makes insane catapults that throw spears and all sorts of steange things...
