Catapult masterclass: hunting steel

When it comes to well-dressed sports, you might think golf, you might think tennis, you could even think some of the top claygrounds. Now catapults are rising up the sporting class system. Top catapult shot Wayne Martin explains how he set the course at the Sussex Catapult Club and gives his top tips for shooting it.

I'm Glad to see that catty shooters are being recognised for what I have always seen as one of the most skillfull forms of taking a rabbit or pigeon. Unfortunately as soon as the catty comes out your instantly branded as a wrongun by most in the shooting community, well done Wayne for promoting it in a positive direction 👍

This video contains the single most effective explanation of gravity's effect on a projectile over range that I've ever come across. Anyone who is learning to shoot anything would learn from watching this 👌

[@adl2005]

What ammo are you using

[@CattyShackHunter]

I’m using my hunting set-up with 11mm steel balls, and Matt is using 9.5mm.

[@Hadrada.]

@@CattyShackHunter do you ever practice with clay balls
Or is that a no because you use 11mm steel as that’s what you hunt with?
Hope you get back to me I’m going to purchase on your site soon 👍🏼
