Ketty Gun – Pro Hunter (Model: 25)

Description

Ketty Gun – Pro Hunter (Model)

This is the rugged and robust version of the refined – aluminium – Model 21 and comes in black only (with red grip). It has the same basic design metrics and features with added functions for those seeking maximum power performances.

Big Bore: This is the big-bore African KETTY GUN option at 3,15 kg. Boasting superior power with an extended tension range with two settings, 12 mm sturdy stainless steel load-bearing bars and a ridged, cast aluminium frame to manage and deliver terminal ballistic velocities. It is the BAKGAT model of choice!

Easy to operate: These KETTY GUN models are very easy to operate without any strain, even at maximum tension. Simply press and release the tension bars, load up the pouch with ammo, hook it in the trigger mechanism, and then use the front foot pedal to load the tension on the elastic bands.

Sights: Recommendation – Red dot / Reflex.

Pellets / Ammo: Steel only – Sizes 8- best 9 / 9.5 mm with flat bands but 9.5 to best 10mm for full bore power.

Size: At 55 cm folded the unit is quite compact when the tension bars and folding stock are retracted and only 95 cm maximum extended.

Christophe Roelofse (alias “Bakgat” from Game & Hunt Magazine): “What I like about these kettie guns is that you can tune the power; simply reduce the number of elastic bands to two only or reduce the diameter of the tubes or the thickness of the flat bands to suit your needs and your ammo requirements for indoor or outdoor shooting, … and goes on to say:

• The rest of the world calls them “slingshot rifles”, while in Southern Africa, we refer to them as “kettie guns”. This is a modern take on the old traditional kettie (Rekker) as we all know it. Add a stock, trigger and aiming device, and you have transformed your resilient kettie into a precision speed machine! A good comparison would be the difference and practicality between a bow (kettie) and a crossbow (kettie gun).
• The concept is certainly not new, but technological advancements bring the kettie gun into its rightful own.
• It is easy to master, reasonably affordable, no licensing requirements and therefore pretty much accessible to all. It is a great family activity, a brilliant training and education platform for community development, and a thoughtful alternative, to perhaps air rifles.
• Easy to tinker with – and pimp-up to great expectations!

“Wow! What is that?” This is the reaction you will get every time!

“Safety first”: Always wear eye protection.
