Can anyone confirm which one of the catapults will put single boilies the furthest? Only asking as all the advertising on them is very confusing as some descriptions say it's the light version and others say it's the heavy version, or maybe it's just my tiny little brain getting confused (easily done )

Nah the light one is a tough and strong build and sends individual boilies absolutely miles

Get the light - not sure what the difference is anyway apart from a smaller pouch on the light

The light is far more heavy duty than your typical ''heavy'' pellet match pult such as Drennan X strong orange revolution

Maybe it is because they are basically a complete copy of the Korda ones

That's good then as they are cheaper to buy and will probably last longer

I bought the Korda catapult, first impressions were good,however after 3 sessions the pouch split,having spoken to others,this is commonplace,mine lasted about a month,couldn't see the point in replacing the pouch,so ordered the new Gardner boilee pult,just makes me wonder if they do actually field test these things,for a brand leader like Korda ,they are very poor

How so mate?
Short of being a similar colour I don't think they look that similar?
In fact, other than using the same moulds/tooling I'm not sure how anyone could say a catty is copied?

First time I'm saw it o thought the same. Korda copy. But as you say all catapults are similar.

Is the American latex an improvement or just a bit of sales gimmick on the video

I've not used the Gardner one bud, my comments based on pics alone.

I have the Korda catapult with the medium pouch I think, no issues at all since I bought it 10 months ago......

That pouch was well field tested then


Just replace it with a Scruffy Bob pouch. The End.

The latex has improved, no gimmick

If you want to save a few bob and get something pretty much the same with the same quality American latex, NGT is the kiddy

Their pult is big and strong and heavy duty but you can get neater little pouches on the fleebay (look up Seymo ones)

The difference is the thickness of elastics, I currently have the heavy version and thought I'd try the light version elastics on it but the green inserts for the light version don't fit thick the collars on the heavy version, and the elastic is too thin (light version) to use the heavy versions green beads (if that makes sense)

Heavy is a good Catapult. The pouches are poor. I stitched mine with rig material once I started to show signs of wear and it's solid now.
