Do you olduns Remember catapult's

Yes started off with a Milbro as in the pics above I’d say circa 1982 ish give or take and then a few years later progressed to a Black Widow. From memory the steel ball bearings cost a fortune so that limited using the correct ammo so then you progressed to using gravel or stones which damaged the rubber and rendered your catty useless in any case! Great fun. A bit like asking my mum if she could take me down town to buy me some more pellets and I’d always get the “Gosh have you shot all those already.” You use a lot of ammo shooting up your air fix models in the sand pit 😂😂😂

My first catapult that I was allowed to keep was a black plastic and rubber fishing one with built in rubber cup. Late 1979's 

Before buying a milbro, Then a Black widow.

Son bough some new fangled version with bance weighted bars out front. I said How'd you keep that in your pocket or up the sleeve of your coat.

That's the Barnet Diablo, big bulky thing, however very easy to modify into a very powerful slingbow. Two cable ties and a key ring ring bigger the better.
