None of those breeds could kill a decent 50 lb bulldog, I had a old dog with hardly any teeth rag my mother's bullmastiff when I made the mistake of leaving them in charge of it when I was on holiday. Dogs are hard to kill especially bulldogs.
Cost me something like £36 all in for a torque a few years back, had to pay a tenner or so when I picked it up from the post office. He will not mark as a gift.
My daughter has a young dog out of mouseys stuff, good looking pup, excellent coat and a strong dog. I have a 7 year old out of one of tbags dogs, only ever used for mooching about. Think there's photos on here of both.
I got a tt f from him this week too, shoots spot on, light and pocketable. It was fitted with tbg 30/20 and a nice microfiber pouch, my bandset didn't last long either.
Using the blue scout ot t mostly atm, just got the evo and I am struggling with it, shame it's a lovely catty. Shot the best with a ppmg just not that keen on ttf.
Cutting yourself or buying? Mine has 18/12 white gzk and a leather pouch from Nick Hegarty, because that's the only roll I had,9.5 flies and band life is good, easy draw too.
