mel b3 Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 hiya guys , hopefully someone can help . im looking for catapult elastic , so that i can make my own catty . id like some round tube stuff rather than flat bands if possible , but id also be happy with the black square stuff. i only want to buy some from a pw member please guys , over the last two weeks , ive ordered and payed for elastic from two different suppliers , and neither has turned up. thanks in anticipation, mel.

Old farrier Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Why not just cut strips out of a inner tube biggest problem with most catapults is the elastic is tooo strong and you can’t pull it back and hold it steady enough for a accurate shot some times less is more 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mel b3 Posted May 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Is inner tube rubber stretchy/springy enough ?, it's never seemed very elasticy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old farrier Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Haven’t got a clue how stretchy it is nessesity is the motivation for inventing 😂😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of options I've tried amazon twice , but nothing has turned up either time , it's a shame because they're normally spot on😕.

Cheshirelad Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Here you are. The Theraband Gold is probably the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUNKS Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 I have mad a lot of catapults over the years. As a youngster we al ways used the square elastic but today TheraBand beats everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dipper Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 The black rubber you tried must have been 1/4 inch quite hard to control .3/16 so much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
