Yes, no pult will put a boilie 100y, maybe 50 60 max imo.
Why not get a boilie rocket, Gardner still do one I think, would easily do 90/100y

Ok thanks guys. Looks like I can forget that idea. Got a cheap throwing stick but I can't get the hang of it and I'm wasting a lot of boilies practising

Stones and marbles maybe

Doubt it. The Boilie itself is a big factor of course - forget 16mm shelf lifes.

There are catapults that are designed for distance (not fishing), they are usually 2 part and have a hook that goes over your foream so your wrist isn't taking the strain. I have one but whether it'd put a 16miller that far I have no idea, never tried it.

EDIT, I'm guessing bait density would affect distance too.

I don't think that is possible, I've never heard of one that could achieve those distances!
I would get a throwing stick

The atomic one is pretty good but not sure if you can still get them or not
Whether or not a catty can do 100 yards or not I would think is debatable.

Seen claims of catapults that can fire 16mm boilies upto 100 yrds. Do any of these catapults actually achieve this?

I fish a venue where I don't need to feed heavy so firing out a single 16mm at a time around 90 yrds will do me. Any recommendations please?
