Catapult king Wayne Martin has a job on his hands. Feral pigeons have taken over some big farm barns. Armed with their slingshots, Wayne and his buddy Matt are out to reduce numbers.
For hunting Wayne is using his EVO Field Pro catapult, with a 25/20 taper, of Catty Shack ‘Great White’ band, in 0.85 thickness, with 11mm lead. He uses the same for the target course with 11mm steel instead.
Matt is using a PR3 catapult, with a 25/20 taper of Sheshoo band, in 0.65 thickness, with 10mm lead. Same for the targets, but with 9.5mm steel instead.
