Currently using an ESP pult, which is very much the triggers broom of catapults.

Can anyone recommend a catapult for medium range work? Ideally one that'll allow me to fire 6-8 baits in a tight-ish group at a time. I do understand that is somewhat down to the user obviously.

Having looked on the internet and tackle shops, I genuinely can't believe the price these have gone up to now. Having said that, happy to pay out for a decent one. Cheers lads

I have a few ESP Boilie Pults, some with the original pouch, some with the particle pouch. Tend to use the particle pouched one for boilies.

I have found the spread can vary depending on how you pull the pouch back - If you grip the boilies inside the pouch, they tend to go all over the place but if you use the loop on the pouch they seem to stay tighter - also I try & keep the pult at right angles to my arm as any slight angle seems to effect the trajectory of the pouch on the follow through & again, spreads them out.

Distance dependent of course, but for value and accuracy I always end up resorting back to the Drennan boilie pult
