Slingshot ammo_my way to carry

[Alfredo]

I hate little iron balls rolling around on the floor or on the ruscksack pockets ...so I decided to fix it.
This way you have 4 ammo always available on the handle of the catapult, and others ammo are well packaged, replacable and taking no space on the pockets (in this case, 10 ammo per each tube). Hope you enjoi! Ciao, Alfredo

Are they not really difficult to get out though?

 

[Alfredo]

No, it's easy enough

Interesting.

What is the tubing you used?

Also any advice for a novice?

Or any websites you can recommend?

Hi Alfredo simple when you know how. Here's one I use
Hold a ball in the pouch with a hair grip then you can take catapult out of pocket
and instantly pull and start to aim pulling hair grip off with your teeth at the last minute
this way your not trying to load a ball as it's all ready loaded

cheers Danny

Hi. The tube is as used for environmental survey (I'm a biologist

About advices: I'm not the best person I'm afraid, I think there you have some real experts

Nice! Thanks, I'll try for sure.
I also like your slingshot.
Next time I'll show modifications as I done to use arrows with a slingshot

Does anyone know a cheap place in the UK to buy them though? cant find many places?

There's a slingshot that has a little ammo dispenser on the side of it now but that mod would be easier than buying a new slingshot, and the dispenser one can only hold ammo so big. Plus your way you can have seperate tubes full of ammo, kind of like extra magazines.
Cool idea.

I have the 'brown hunter' on order. Only £20 and I just love that wooden bushcrafty finish.. Simple but effective.

Thanks for sharing, I really like both the MODs shown on this thread. I will have to share it with Justin as he uses catipults a fair bit, he made a nice one of his own a while back. It's got me itching to use them again now.

 

[Minotaur]

Do you think I can find the thread I got these two links from?

Anyway...

the catapult kid slingshot forum

Slingshots of the world

Last one has lots of info on making, and using them.

Received my hunter catapult in the post this morning.. it's well crafted fair play, chuffed to bits.
