And where best place to get new tubes. when you say milbro type forks do you mean this style with holes in the ends, like in the pic, if so I normally shoot this one with looped 1745 tubes or with flat tbg wrapped and tucked, not sure what pin you are referring to I am guessing you are using a fatter/square type elastic that you pull through the hole go around the pin and back through the hole to hold your bands, if I,m correct in my assumption a lot of people use a .22 bullet case for that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
forest of dean redneck 11,698 Posted November 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Yeah similar mine has a thumb grip below the fork.it looked like they had split the tube and used something to glue pin in place don't know why. It's grey theraband tube,but it looks knackered so will replace. My knowledge is limited to either Barnett where it pushes on or just tieing it to the forks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My knowledge is limited to either Barnett where it pushes on or just tieing it to the forks. is the pin poking through the hole and the tube just pushed over it? If you can stick a pic on I,m sure I could sort something out, even if it means removing the other pin and starting from scratch, I like that little fork with flat bands just whipped on tuck and wrap style, I find some of those big tubes and heavy square stuff ok for lobbing big ammo but not the best for accurate shooting with ball bearings, it lasts forever but is,nt that nice to shoot, flats are really nice to shoot but don't last that long and the 1745 is the best compromise between the two, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
