    Hi, I have been out all week experimenting with a set of bands i have designed and made and thought i would share my exploits with you lot!! Enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3PhjxTyad8&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4_EoOWBXjI And pics of some shots that made it through my catchbox My maximum reading off cam with the lead was 292fps which is around the 26ft/lb mark John-boy

    I will sometimes cut and leave to dry (cover cut ends with epoxy before leaving to dry to prevent checking), but i find that microwaving them dries them well enough for finishing!!

    Simple, just place the theraband over the fork tips and bind with small strips of theraband or other elastic. The tips of a milbro are nicely rounded so abrasion isn't a problem! Here is a video of joerg sprave using a lucky 7 with squares and flatbands, look closely at the way he has rigged his up!!

    When i was 15 i used mine with a simmons 4 x 32 scope and took rabbits out to 35m max, but now that its a bit more powerful and equipped with better optics i think i will be able to test this rifles full potential!! John-boy

    In Northern Ireland every airgun regardless of power output is classed as a firearm so therefore it is on a FAC.

    As title, my da bought me a .22 BSA superstar secondhand 8 years ago when i was 15 and shot everything from rats to rabbits with it (under his supervision of course )!! But then when i turned 17 i got a motorbike and chased after woman and beer i put the gun to one side for 6 years!! But recently i have started gaining interest in it again now that i have a woman and drank my fair share of beer :alcoholic: so i treated it to a new set of optics in the shape of a sabre airgunner 3-9 X 42 AOIR scope, then decided it could do with a little more take down power so stripped it down and fit

    A "big ole pike plug" to me is 12+" in length, not really a good lure for trout, whereas a small plug like a 2-3" rapala or big S would be more suited. Or try a mepps spinner they always produce the goods for me!! is there any particular breed of rapala, there are that many of them on the market its hard to know which does what niall_b73 Team Esko brown trout pattern (it imatates small fry really well) but be warned i have had large pike on this lure in the past!!

    This is my latest natural slingshot, its made from a fork i obtained while out for a mooch a while back!! I will bring you through the steps i took to make it!! First up, a spot of prunning: Then i got it home, removed the bark and knobs with knife and rasp then microwaved it to remove moisture in the wood (3 times in a sealed bag, 40 secs each time and left to cool for 10mins between zaps) not necessary on deadfall: Measured it up to my desired length and feed it to the bandsaw: After that i cut out the V in the fork (not necessary but i like it): After roundin

    Turn the catty sideways, line up the bands so they appear as 1 and use the top fork as an aiming reference. And pick an anchor point like your bottom jaw, just keep bringing the pouch back to this point over and over!! Also when releasing the shot use a relaxed motion with thumb and finger and remember to follow through with the shot!! Below is the video i used to improve: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6q6LCexg00 John-boy

    Bull x lurchers and bull x grey's!! Should have been more specific. I like them for their rugged look over anything, no real reason other than that. what you looking to hunt with the dog mate? I knew this question would come up regarding the choice of dog!! But before you jump the gun and suggest deer or foxes its not, big no no I will solely be using it for rabbits mate
