  1. it's proshot mate,the bloodshot is a model, not to be confused with the eBay seller of the same name, the time of year is massively important when your collecting forks and most other woods, January and February is when the wood has less moisture and toxins in it, as soon as the sap starts rising at the end of Feb the wood is likely to split, I,ve used hazel all my life and never had one split, I also cut a load of hazel sticks to dry out for the stick makers as they take around three years to season and most of them can't be assed so I have a rotation system for drying so I have a load to se
  2. I know what you mean, he is the man and it would be nice to own an original made by him, I,m probably going to order myself a scorpion from him in the not to distant future and as I already have more catty,s than enough I am prepared to wait if I have to
  3. I found a bit of cloth gun wrap tape made quite an improvement on the grip but snap cracking catty

  5. yes that's me I pop in for a look now and then, I think they are a bit further forward in the states regarding the whole slingshot scene than we are though we are catching up fast, people like blue skeen and ruffus hussey were the reason we are were we are today I think and some of the lads on YouTube now are taking it to another level, I guess the Internet is to thank for things like that, if your on the slingshot forum you can ask bill on there what's the delivery time going to be, he's very honest just a victim of his own success some times I think, have never heard anyone say a bad word ab
  6. I know I will get slagged for saying it but proshot do make a few of his more popular models and you will get it in 24hrs were as bill makes them to order and they will take a while to get to you plus you may get hit for import tax, unless you can get him to mark the box as a gift, I have a hathcock target sniper from proshot and its sound only thing I think bills come banded up were as the proshot only send the fork,
  7. sadly mate as long as the energy company,s are owned by share holders, they expect an increase on there money every year, so us poor saps bills go up every year even though the cost stays the same to the company, it's one of the few things I think should of remained nationalised, so we pay only for the fuel and not to line some fat b*****ds pockets
  8. checked your page. nice work. now what would consider a good type for general use.for a left handed old fogeyif your not an experienced shooter forget plywood catty,s, they will fall to bits after 2/3 fork hits, they may look the bollacks but don't last, sorry to nick if that's his business but in my experience, ply catty,s are great for those making them but not for people buying, a proshot bloodshot is £25 made from solid ally and will last a lifetime, fires flats or tubes,left or right handed and in any grip you like and in my opinion is the best starter catty out there, i feel a bit bad fo

  11. I read something years ago about the navy,s use of sonar buggering up the whales own sonar system and that's why even if they put them back they just turn round and do it again ?
  12. I,d pack up and foff tomorrow given the chance, main problem is by the time we grow old enough and wise enough to realise just how shit life on the treadmill is we have a lot of baggage weighing us down and the roots that hold us in place have gotten to deep and spread to far, if I was a younger man I would be gone before all of the ties we make through life got to strong, now all I can do is sit here crying watching the last Alaskans on the discovery channel
  13. madly and sadly there are torch forums were people actually spend there life's pimping torch,s, it's a sad place to be but you can learn a lot if you just pop in then get out quick before you become one of them and start fitting regulators and shit to your torch
  14. If any of you have a Costco card they sell very simular torch,s in packs of two for £22 I have a couple and they do throw a beam a long way and battery life is great as they have the Cree chip in rather than an led bulb, it's more than powerful enough to mount on a gun have even lamped a few bunny,s round the local golf course with the dog, here's a piccy for the picture lovers the milk carton is for scale I also have a led lensor p7 with a gun mount, these are a little more expensive about £40.00 on Amazon but are another fantastic bit of kit and used by the police in America which is quite a
  15. nice reading wagon, my family come from the Romney marshes, then my great gran married into a Romany family so I,m a bit of each very dark skin not much hair but when I did it was dark and curly, I have a cousin that still lives in Essex and has also traced our family back for many generations, I would like to see my family tree, but the only time I see my cousin is at a funeral these days and it does not seem the right time to ask, it's nice to have a bit of history, FairPlay to you for keeping yours
  16. just tell him to get a pressure washer in the gap from time to time and maybe a bit of wax oil, the japs have always been fantastic engineers, but under sealing and rust prevention have never been a strong point even on there cars,
  17. funny enough when I mentioned it a while back on a thread I was told I was talking bollox, even my transit tipper has had lots of welding in the area between cab and bed, it's a dirt trap,every load of sand you pick up a small amount sits on the chassis between cab and bed, eventually the salt in the rubbish rots through the chassis, and as those penis extension trucks don't have the ability to tip they can't clean it off, at least I can tip mine up every few months and wash off all the crap or cut and weld a new bit in, were as with the non tipping type they are f****d, 21 years old 260,000
  18. Wow FairPlay that maggot catty is a beaut reminds me of my childhood days bet that's quite a collectors piece
  19. I just read the first thread and was about to say, a d series merc or a smiley face transit, and with thirty k on the clock and an asking price of 2k if I was in the market I'd be on that like flash
  20. so is the post man n milk man.ffspost man an milk man don't nick stuff for your garden like a lot of scrap man do they never ask just take that's just what your misses tells you after she's asked me round to chuck all your unfinished projects on the truck
  21. Have you any access to timber or turf mate?...........I disconnected my oil burner totally and everyone thought I was mental, i am lucky enough however to own 2 bits of bog and a wood so I am totally self sufficient in heating. Spent some money on a modern little range that will heat upto 20 radiators and now my only utility bill is electric. If you can get the timber cheap enough then getting off the oil or gas is the way forward mate I'd love to do that, because we had a combi I couldn't have the woodburner tied in to the heating system at the time. Not sure how practical it would
  22. it is sad mate, but something sadder, there were fecking hares everywhere pre ban, since coursing stopped hares are almost non excistent in my area, I never lamped hares back in the day always considered it cheating as even a shit dog could take a hare on the lamp, but it was nice to see them, last time I took a lamp out I saw 14 badgers and know hares, I wonder why
  23. Surprised the rspca have,nt been round to charge him with indoor coursing and hare fighting yet,
  24. think you will find its not are leaders that cause the division it's the muslims them selfs shooting innocent people and rape kidswhilst we are entering such a strong argument, shall we just forget the fact that your beloved leaders have been dropping bombs all over the Muslims for the last fifteen years at least, killing hundreds of thousands of totally innocent men, women and children, and before you come to the obvious conclusion and start calling me a Muslim,I,m an atheist I like or dislike people depending on wether I like them or not, not because of the colour of there skin or which god
