Greyman 28,800 Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Good find mate I think they use camel bone on them, I sold one to a member on here before Christmas, they fire really nice with a set of flat bands whipped on over the forks I only sold it as I have to many catty,s and need a clear out from time to time Quote Link to post Share on other sites

C.green 3,231 Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 You'd of been better of pinning that through the holes in the fork mate looks a handy little find got a few myself heavy old things Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ratbuster 807 Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 As you can see on the left one in the picture, instead of tying the tubes on top of the fork, you double them and put a metal pin in to secure the tube. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ratbuster 807 Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Thanks Greyman, really like the traditional styles Just to prove yours went to a good home Pinned and tubed ! Will give the Theraband also a try on this one, when the tubes need replacing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
samuria 331 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 looks good, but the tubes seem rather long..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ratbuster 807 Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Like a long, light draw, still enough speed and comfortable to hold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ratbuster 807 Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 PA you're right, the right one is an antler fork with a hazel grip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
