Chuck Rock 18 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Tubes for lifespan. Dub dub as mentioned above, or Dankung. Ever shot one before? Depends if you like slow and heavy ammo (with a big THWACK) or light and fast (but gotta be accurate). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roosika 110 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Personly I say start off with yellow dub dub ans 9.5steel them maybe try orange dub dub with 9.5 for more wack if.you like small ammo ? Then could try 12 leads with green dub dub ? Could try flat bands for.small steel to but.I dont use flats much as they brake to easy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adrian Kenny 64 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Only got into it my self a few months ago mate, well addictive! Have a look about on YouTube.. Every one warns about bands and people in the beginning but I hand no probs at all just watched the videos.. Top tip rotary cutting knife! That was a sharp learning curve haha! But I will say if you take to it it's great fun making one yourself and then spanking what your aiming at 30-40 feet away and with power mate! Have fun anyway loads of cheap kits game keeper John is the way to look I think but a bit of a wait at the mo according to a couple of fellas on here but his videos on YouTube taught me loads of stuff you would have to spend ages looking for, and it helps that he is deadly accurate ! Takes a fair bit of practice Mine has been in my pocket nearly everywhere I have gone for the last month with a couple of hexnuts great craic 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Houghton 4 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 im a fan of flat bands personally start practicing on single gold flat bands but personally I wouldn't shoot any animal un less I was using double bands ... id start out with a cheep plastic frame because it wont do any damage if you get a fork hit . , there are some nice ones floating about. as said above ive been waiting for my game keeper kit for nearly a month now ! id advise getting a lead shot mould for ammo 12mm if your going for double bands or a 9.5 on singles , it will save you loads of money . also make a catch box for practice you don't want to loose every thing you fire . you'll have a blast 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
