Hi there, a quick review of the elastic and service from Hunter Catapults aka fishfish.
Ordered the elastic and it arrived quickly, appearing recorded delivery within 2 days ( ordered over weekend so was quite impressed ) With child like glee I fitted it to my Poundland fishing catti and went off camping for the night. Now my skills with a catti are fairly non-existent so didn't even dream of using it other than for fun.
Is it powerful? Is it as good as fishfish claims or as his video shows it is? In a word - Yes. It out shot my mates Black Widow easily, by a long long way. At first we just fired off some roundish stones which went quite far, but then used a couple of steel ball bearings .. what a difference! Went for what seemed like miles n miles! Probably around 100 meters+ On the last shot we didn't even see the splash in the Loch so I'd guess it was pretty far.
Unfortunately, while the elastic is great, the leather pouch didn't last too long. The string attaching it to the elastic broke on one side, and after a repair job, the pouch itself snapped at the hole where the elastic goes through. I contacted Hunter Catapults via their websites contact form, and a couple of days later ( today ) we received another delivery from HC. What can I say, they went above and beyond the call of duty as far as replacements went - I was just expecting a replacement pouch, but received significantly more. Fishfish - the shot will be of great use in getting our aim to something at little more respectable.
10 out of 10 for customer service.
I highly recommend Hunter Catapults, worth every penny.
