Longers7 720 Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Was kindly gifted a lead ball maker from Scott (Saluki bulls) on here, so made a few up during the week, my mate rang me earlier to see if I fancied a walk around his permission so thought I'd take a few of the lead balls and the catty with me, spotted a woody in a tree around 15m away, so pulled the catty out, my mate laughed and asked what I was going to do with that "toy"..... Next thing the woody was at his feet stone dead! Lol..... I let him have a go on the "toy"and to be honest he was........ Shite! So on we went, next up a young woodie sat on a gate.... Mate gave it the " you won't be so lucky this time" pop woodie no2 in the bag ;-)..... On the way back to the car, my mate pointed another woodie out to me that was way up in an ash tree..... Took a verticle shot at it and the lead hit it in the crop and passed straight through it!! Couldn't believe the damage the lead had left on it! So thanks very much to Scott for the mould, top man!!! And my mate now wants me to make him a catty :-/ lol ... Trauma that lead causes..... 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Well done mate. Love 12mm lead but its just a pain in the arse to make 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Longers7 720 Posted August 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 I prefer 10mm to 12mm, I find 12mm drops off a bit to quick, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 It does with the 1745s you need a heavier band set. I found 25mm straight doubles were bang on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saluki bulls 118 Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) Good to see you doing well with your sps Harry I think the set up you have now is the perfect combination. Sps,looped tubes,super sure pouch,10mm lead. 12mm lead needs heavier bands to get its full potential. Keep it up mate...

Keep it up mate... nice one buddy, yeah I agree with you, I'm loving this setup at the mo, tubes last sooooo much more longer than Theraband, I can't never be bothered to make TBG band sets up no more, so it suits me down to the ground, I'll get them tube sets made up for you this week mate, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
