Sarci sparki 16 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Right basically is this possible? Ordered two rotary cutters and neither have arrived for what feels months.. and as one of my tbg snapped on a pretty old double setup I snipped the other one off and discovered 11mm lead and single 20-15 is spot on with the easy draw, if feeling a little less snappy than I would like, so desperate to make a quick single 25-20 setup to go do some woody and magpie shaped targets tonight lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Yep I've never used a rotary cutter. Use a snap off craft blade or Stanley knife. Mark the width of your bands with a pen. Put sellotape over that mark. With a metal ruler or other straight edge run down your mark. Better than any rotary cutter I think 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Keep the bands from stretching for a clean cut. Otherwise the blade just catches all way along 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Hmmmm, try keep the blade as low as possible, and make sure that you put enough pressure on the blade. I've never had a problem and neithers anybody else who I've shown how to do it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sarci sparki 16 Posted March 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Nice and low is where I was going wrong, the last inch has the tinyest nick, not even half a mm but itll do for a night, does everyone use pouch rigs to tie onto the pouches?
