Milbro pro shot website

[Hammock Hamster]

Hi all,

Has anyone got any experience with the milbro pro shot website?

I ordered one of their catapults online almost two weeks ago and so far not received it.

Website doesn't state delivery times and although they have responded promptly to my emails, where I asked for a delivery estimate, I was just informed that it had been posted out.

Just trying to find out if anyone has used them and what sort of timescales were involved.
Don't mind a bit of a wait but two weeks is pushing it a bit and am starting to wonder if there's something dodgy about it.

Cheers, Hamster

i had a catty off them a couple of weeks ago and it took about a week to arrive. all seemed above board to me. hope that helps mate.

Cheers Simon thats just what i was hoping to hear.

As long as i know someone has actually recieved their goods i will wait a bit, i guess as they are clearly a small business they may have a longer turnaround than the big retailers just would be nice for them to mention it if thats the case.

Hi all, just to follow up on my post below I got back in touch with these guys and after a bit of checking it turned out there had been a problem with my delivery going out!

They were very apologetic and have sent me out another, in fact a slightly higher spec than I ordered, catapult via next day delivery which I should be receiving on Monday.

Bit of a false start but providing everything arrives Monday I will be a happy bunny and can recommend their response time and customer service.

Ok last post on this subject, as promised by email the substitute catapult turned up yesterday.

Very happy with it and would recommend them to anybody looking for a non arm braced catty (no affiliation blah blah just a happy customer).

Just goes to show that even though there was a problem the service from a small independent business yet again trumps the major retailers.

Universal forks as I want to experiment with over the top and through the forks shooting.

For those of you with a keen eye this turned up finely polished and I have roughed up a bit with sandpaper to give a better grip due to my sweaty hands.

Now I just need to get enough practice in to be confident of hitting bunnies and squirls from 20 odd feet!

Cheers, Hamster
