This is what I like to see someone is shooting slingshot with no editing. Shooting many shots as you can. Other guys on UA-cam they only show you one shot one and you don’t know many shots they miss. I love it ❤
I'm pretty new to catapult shooting. But as a beginner I've found the best way for me to get my eye in and work on my form is to use a suspended sheet as a back stop. Then I have an old curtain rail in front of that. On that I use sheets of wall paper cut from an old roll as my wife has hundreds! I cut them around 900mm deep by whatever width they are, probably somewhere similar. You can draw 4 targets on there and use different catapults or ammo and fine tune your shooting. Works great for seeing your grouping. Just something I've found that helps as a beginner to other beginners. Thanks for the video Wayne
really excellent tutorial. Been learning the catapult lately from scratch and got to say it is much more difficult to get to grips with compared to say rifles or shotguns, bows too. Bows are balanced whereas on the catty the pull draw weight is 100% on your wrist. I'm really impressed with the accuracy possible with the catapult and it's a new endeavour - thanks for showing how to do it!
Fair play Wayne mate. Nice to see an honest video with the everyday issues is catty shooters endure and no 100th take BS. Your vids have helped my shooting improve no end, they are awesome. Thanks man 👍🏼
I can't believe how big slingshot shooting is getting I really enjoy shooting target and hunting with my slingshots nice to see a new video nice one man
I practice nearly every day using 8mm on a 25mm target at just over 12 metres (40 ft) as I only have a small garden. For a spinner I use a plastic bottle cap suspended on a length of fishing line attached by a wire loop through the bottle top. The bright orange top shows up nice against my white back stop and it also has printed on it "Please recycle me" I couldn't think of a better use.😁👍
Great video Wayne 👍 I’m now 60 and looking forward to getting onto the sport. I’ve done loads of research, what frame, what band, tube or flat, what size of band, what amo, weight, material, what is my target bla bla bla… Jesus, it’s not was it was like in my day, you made a frame out of a nice bit of hazel, or if you could save up you’ll buy a Milbro and shot your thumb 😂 It was instinct shooting back then, now it’s a proper sport with methods, aim, anchor points, reference points, bands or tubes, understanding fall off etc. I love the sport and particularly the way you teach us beginners, keep up the good work son and you’ll probably hear from me, and I’ll be buying a set of your beginners bands to start with to go only the cheapish frame I’ve ordered 👍
Wow, you’ve certainly done your homework! Thank you, and it’s great to hear you’re picking up the catapult and getting involved again, times have most certainly changed from where we were thirty, or more years ago in your case. Best of luck with your journey, and I hope you have some fun with it! 👍
@@CattyShackHunter thanks Wayne, very encouraging to hear back from you with your comments 👍 And thanks again for your great vides and sharing your knowledge, you are a true sportsman, so many are too secretive and don’t get involved with their supporters, unlike you! I’ll be watching and learning for sure 👍
@@stevescott8735 thank you very much, the kind comments are much appreciated. I’m pleased that you’ve found it a help, and it’s inspired you to get involved 👍
Good video. Just a question. Is this possible to purchase this new (metal) EVO within next 2 - 3 weeks? I have the old version already and is fantastic, but I think the new system of putting the rubber on is much more convenient and saves a lot of hassle.
très bonne vídeo didactique , une de mes astuce j arrête toujours l entrainement sur une série de 2 ou 3 tirs réussis @cattyshack des news sur le stock de EVO
Haha! There’s no way I queueing outside the barbers, I can wait a bit longer. The draw weight on this set-up is 17lbs, speeds around 245fps. The band is my own Catty Shack ‘Great White’ 👍
Try and shoot instinctively. Instead of holding the catty on full draw and concentrating on your reference point being millimetre precise before you release the pouch, .....try getting your shot off quicker. Raise the catty, glance down the bands, and let it go. Instinctive shooting is releasing the pouch a split second before your hand and the frame lock onto the target. Start glancing down the bands as the catty is still rising up towards the target, then while it's still rising up, let the pouch go. Keep practicing and eventually it will become instinctive.
Not particularly, no. Watching it back, my elbow position didn’t look too much different, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it wasn’t different enough to cause a small change in trajectory. It was either my elbow, or my release.
Hi Wayne , love to see another video out..💪 would you recommend practicing with hunting set up " heavy bands" only ... At the moment I have no interest in shooting just targets soley the only reason I do it is to better my hunting shot placement obviously ... Do you ever practice with lighter bands sets like .60 so you can shoot longer periods of time? Or do you only practice with heavy set ups ? Must admit I've suffered tennis elbow in the past from excessive shooting with heavy bands..
Thank you. No, I only ever shoot the set up I hunt with. As a beginner I’d always recommend to start light and learn on targets. Once you’re proficient and understand accuracy, if you want to solely hunt, I would only shoot the set up you intend to hunt with. The only way to get better at shooting a heavier set up, is to shoot a heavier set up. Get stronger. I personally practice while I’m out walking / hunting, so I’m never standing in one spot firing shot after shot for hours on end, you’ll just fatigue and learn nothing. Hunting shots aren’t all at 10m head height. Pick targets high and low, and at varying ranges. The fact you won’t be constantly firing shot after shot, means you’ll be able to fire more shots in the long run, and learn / hone your skills the whole time while you’re out. Hope this helps 👍
Cheers WAYNE, i can pester you on here instead of Instagram, i completely understand what you saying, and thanks for inspirational TIPS n TRICKS, BODDERZ!!!!!
Your sound quality is poor Wayne got something to say thanks that 1 time u called me back when my misses ordered two much items theres not many people who would do that thanks mate 4 your honesty ment alot👌
Yeah I know mate, it’s only filmed on an iPhone, but it’s free content without ads. I do need to grab a proper camera though. With regards to the order, it’s no problem at all. Honesty is always the best policy 👍
i wish i could practise... i have some pains in my index finger, since i used a too heavy band and I exaggerate it a bit. Now i have problems with it since around 5 month :/ went from 0.7 to 0.5. Did anyone here had the same problems? and if so, how did u fix it. i did a couple of breakes though
Its a funny thing but i can go out on say a Monday and with a Catty i have made and Hit 90% of what I fire at ..But then a few days later go out and hit nothing but with the same set up etc! ..

No problem! Completely agree with you, shooting paper is a very good way to practice, because you become visually accountable for every single shot 👍
I always been impressed with your shooting skills and take your information very seriously because i know you know what your talking about buddy.
Thank you very much John 👍🏻
Good to see you shooting, I've been watching archery videos for advice so your catapult specific instruction is always particularly useful.
Good to hear! Thank you 👍
Hi Wayne thanks for the video, good to see you back . Old saying of practice ,practice practice.
Thank you Barry. 100% correct! 👍

Cheaper and disposable ammo too, you can bring around a slingshot in an urban / suburban area too
Fair play Wayne mate. Nice to see an honest video with the everyday issues is catty shooters endure and no 100th take BS. Your vids have helped my shooting improve no end, they are awesome. Thanks man 👍🏼
Cheers Mike, pleased you’ve got something from them 👍
I beleive this vid is the best you have made Wayne .
Thank you Mikkel 👍
Such a great vid, I've come back to it more than once to remind me of the things to keep in mind while I shoot. Thank you for this!
I'm also out of practice, been out of it for about 9 months now. My arm is about fixed though, so I'm slowly getting back to it.
Be good to see you doing a bit again!
Hitting stuff with 11mm steel is so much more satisfying than with the 8mm that all the competetive shooters shoot
Yeah, you can’t beat that wallop! 👍
Love it! Thank you for the new video. Been slacking on my practice as well. Time to get back at it!
Thank you 👍 Sounds good!
love this channel ! next slingshot i get will be from you sir! the "ghost" color slingshot looks amazing
Thank you 😊👍

Thanks mate 👍
Its good to see that even a very good slingshot shooter like you needs consistent practice.
Thank you 👍
Good honest video Wayne ... Oh ! Happy new Haircut .
Haha cheers mate 👍 Sod standing in line for a barber! 😂
Just watched the video mate. You mentioned elbow position. Just had a go with my practice bands. 15 shots. 15 hits. 👍
Excellent! 👌🏻
Very satisfying to watch someone shoot a heavy setup so well. Excellent shooting! I look forward to trying one of your G10 EVOs soon:)
Thank you 👍
Nice video Wayne a pleasure to see this shooting and these tips. Cheers 🤙🎯💥✨👍
Thank you 👍
Hey bud really good to see you 👍thanks for the video 🍀 hope you and yours are all well 🐾🌞

@@CattyShackHunter Thank you for the info. Will be in touch.
I haven't shot for ages but after watching this I may band a frame up and get out for an hour.
Top man! 👍
Hello Martin. Super video thank you. 👍👏👏👏
Thank you Josef 👍
Practice is always paramount, pretty consistent shooting though.
Sure is! Thank you Trefor.
Wen u gonna do some more hunting Wayne? I'm off out in a while Sunday shoot day 4 me mate just waiting 4 my lift kidda👌cant wait
Good luck mate, shoot straight. I have absolutely no time to get out at the moment, I wish I did!
Sir please how we can upwards and downward targets
Always enjoy your vids. Thanks.
Thank you 👍
I'm a novice and really appreciate these videos. what catty are you using, and what would you recommend to knock over cormorants? Any help appreciated

Cheers Johnnie 👍 lol, happens to everybody mate! 😂
Quality mate still better than me on a bad day targets will fall when hit lol
Haha! Thanks man 👍
Love the vid bro as always.. ordering myself a 9mm lead mould off ye next week
Looks like we all got that Rona cut! 💇🏼♂️ Awesome shooting, these 1mil bands look real FAST. What is the draw weight on a setup like this?
Haha! There’s no way I queueing outside the barbers, I can wait a bit longer. The draw weight on this set-up is 17lbs, speeds around 245fps. The band is my own Catty Shack ‘Great White’ 👍
@@CattyShackHunter thanks man, for letting me know 😁
What’s the ammo speed on your hunting set up Wayne? And thanks for the honest self analysis when rusty with lack of practice as it happens to us all!
Hey no problem! I use my set up around 240 - 245fps.
Do you still post to Ireland Ireland mate??
Yep! No problem 👍
Seen a few things on your site I want to get
What should be the active band length? And should I do a headshot always to hunt a dove?Answer please.
So if your dominant eye . Like shooting a rifle is right handed what hand should the catapult be in
Your bad day, would be my red letter day. 👍
Haha! Thank you 👍
How do you aim it does it have a sight like a rifle
Great video brother! Brilliant frame! Thanks for sharing your knowledge! 👊💥🙏
No problem man! Thanks for following along 👍
Just got this catapult. My only criticism is I no longer get to hunt for the perfect slingshot!
😂😂👍 Thank you 👍👍
From being very young av always had a hand tremble this makes shooting very hard for me is there any tips you have or am aye a lost cause 🤔🤔
Try and shoot instinctively. Instead of holding the catty on full draw and concentrating on your reference point being millimetre precise before you release the pouch, .....try getting your shot off quicker. Raise the catty, glance down the bands, and let it go. Instinctive shooting is releasing the pouch a split second before your hand and the frame lock onto the target.

Thank you very much for the advice al give it a try 👍👍
What catch box is that you are using
Just one of the cheap ones available on my website 👍
So did you figure out what was causing you to miss? I would be stoked just hitting it once from that far.
Not particularly, no. Watching it back, my elbow position didn’t look too much different, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it wasn’t different enough to cause a small change in trajectory. It was either my elbow, or my release.
Hello, if I’m right-handed, do I have to hold the slingshot in my right hand?

I'll keep watching and I'll be ordering 1ml g.w and of the month and a few more bits
I can hear him fine just turn volume up and stop whinging.
What are good beginner band sets from your shop?
Could be nice to have some time to practice.
11mm steel ammo flying in the air is a nice sight 👏👍😎
Cheers Janne. Was nice to get out! 👍
Just out of practice Wayne you sound like me I analyse everything to the point of obsession some times alway have 👍😁
I think you have to mate. It’s the only way to improve 👍
What bands do you use for hunting? And where can i find them?
I use 1mm Great White. I have them for sale on my website - www.cattyshack.co.uk 👍
great vid 👍
Cheers 👍
Nice 3 steps:
Analyse
Diagnose
Improve

Thank you very much.
Im shooting consistantly.. I do know what Martin is talking about

Não entendi foi nd kkkkk oque ele quis dizer com esse video nd aver
The birds are louder than you.
Way high 😂 you must be high to shoot 11 mm steel for practice mate 😂 or you’ve got to much money
😂😂 neither!
Your catapults are decent but ever since I've bought from your shop I have been getting absolutely bombarded with junk emails! 👎
Glad you like the products, thank you. We don’t share details with anybody, so it won’t be because of us.
I’ve also just confirmed this with my tech guy, and here’s his response. “The emails are secure and definitely no one has access to them”
Once you can shoot it’s all easy as you probably see his misses are just a hair of the target
