That is Impressive, I need more practice and patience me thinks........
certainly inspired me to get new rubber for my catty! Where do you get the lead shot from Fish?
Theres several places to buy commercial lead shot - or you can make your own.
Lots of info about cattys + hunting on these sites - have a look on here:

Catpults co + Bells both sell bands and various sizes/types of ammo. There are other sources too, but these are easy + offer good service albeit not the cheapest.

Most good Gun Shops stock lead balls for Muzzle Loading.One can also buy moulds,to cast various calibers.Some fishing shops I think may stock moulds for ledger weights.Then all you need is scrap lead.
Must confess,I use glass marbles.(big bag at toys r us.for a £1.in my catti..44 lead balls in my Remington 1858,n Colt 1862 Army.

Steel balls in a cross bow? That seems very brave! Or daft, not sure which.
I have thought about trying this as An alternative to air rifle or bow n arrow. Much easier to conceal.
Great pics fish :-)
Winter is coming
Cross bow designed to shoot 8mm balls n 5" bolts.175lb pull.Steel pods n string,Very accurate.have not had it over a chrono.so don't know FPS.etc.
PS you cannot shoot any animal in UK with a bow n Arrow.
In France you can hunt wild Boar with them on the estates down the loire valley.
