I got this in Az in 1993 and forgot I had it . I open a ammo box today and found this in there . Just like a Christmas surprised . It is in new condition . I shot 50 rds in it . I think the flat bands wooden catapult I make are faster , smoother and more accurate then the tube type bands in my opinion . My #1 & #4 are my 2 favorite .

I still shoot mine almost daily in the back yard.

I still like to keep my eye in with my "catty" ( catapult ) occasionally, too. My left thumb still remembers the pain it went through during the learning cycle as a lad, knocking tin cans off walls and breaking the odd window here and there!

I love target shooting my whole life . Airguns and catapult on my indoor 10 meter range has kept me in the fun part of shooting . I'm no long able or want to go to local ranges or shoot in Matches . I have a 20 meter range outside I can setup but I like the 10 meter better for my airguns and catapult plus my cane FU bag is indoors too .

I have trouble getting away to the range so I built one in my backyard. Its only fancy metal serving trays hung on trees but they are an equal match for my Red Ryder. Each tray makes a different sound and they are all sizes and shapes. Some I can hit 50 times in a row which I've done on several occasions but some I'm lucky if I can plink it three times in a row.
