  1. Have a search on the Slingshotforum.com, all you need to know about it is on there. It's not as strong as HDPE though so be careful!
  2. My father once got a pigeon at 63 yards, that was bloody lucky coz usually he can't hit fek all
  3. I prefer 10mm lead for small game too Mick
  4. Yup, like said 1745's are what you want for 9.5mm steel pal.
  5. What size ammo are you shooting? To get the best ammo speeds your bands/tubes will need to match your ammo weight.
  6. The newer formula is a bit faster, it's ever so slightly thinner so some people found they needed to make their tapers slightly bigger. Personally I only noticed a very small difference and didn't find a need to alter mine. I have a feeling they changed the formula to cut costs as they also changed the amount that you get in a box.
  7. Has anyone here ever made their own cider? I have been offered an abundance of apples and fancy having a go at making my own. I've seen a few video's on youtube with people using juicers, has anyone got any tips or recipes they would be willing to share? Thanks for any help.
  8. Hi mate, I find 20mm-15mm tapered TBG doubles are ideal for all the shooting I do, from 9.5mm target shooting to 18mm lead close range stuff. All the best, Jim.
  9. Being waxed just helps stop them from cutting into the rubber, you can make your own with a block of wax just as effective.
  10. Try using waxed cobblers twine to tie your pouch ends instead of using rubber, it will make them considerably lighter and faster. You will also get a lot less band slap, especially when using a large pouch.
  11. That's indeed true mate, your ammo must be suitable for your band set up. I tend to like to go with a medium rig which I feel caters for all my shooting needs.
  12. They may feel more powerful but that's not to mean they will send your ammo faster.
  13. Air Arms S200 or BSA Ultra's are good little guns, nice and light for kids.
  14. Most CA glues will work to good effect, as for hard wax oils it's down to personal preference on what you want from the finish. Try visiting a flooring company and seeing what they have on offer. They should be able to show you some different examples of what's on offer mate.
  15. Tru oil gives a very glossy finish but I don't find it offers much protection, a CA finish or a hard wax oil finish will give you the same glossy appearance but will be much harder wearing.
  16. what a fooking depressing photo Isn't it just, but you know what they say; "One man's trash is another man's treasure!"
