Catapult or throwing stick? Tactical advice needed.

Afternoon chaps. Well, the rod and reel are set ready to go for tomorrow - just one dilema. I don't want to give away too much about my opening day assualt but theoretically speaking - if i wanted to hit an area aproximately 5'10" x 25" containing around 18 stones at a range of about 50yds - which baiting tool would be choice for (a) accuracy and (b) impact? I'm going in with 20 millers - figured shelflifes would carry more weight than air dried freezer baits and thus make more of an impact on the target area!? Any advice would be most welcome. Thanks. :D
 
spare rod and big pva bags ,tie a weight sufficiant too hold bottom too the end of your line ,pop it into the bag ,top up with pellets and tie off ,then cast out .
 
Start off with throwing stick for maximum impact initially. Then I would go for catapult and spray the boilies over a reasonable area, to land what i assume would be a moving target after a few throwing stick delivered rounds have hit home.
