Scout LT

Just the right size for the pan

I'm really enjoying the new LT too. Finally felt confident to use one on game last week and have already taken one squirrel. Only weird thing I noticed was that the black bands it was supplied with only lasted me a couple of weeks so it was a good job I'd already ordered three HTH band sets from the same company. I'm wondering if it was because my band length is now shorter, thanks to the advice on here, which means I'm putting more stress on them.

Bands are a lottery mate one set gives you 10 shots before breaking another will give 1000s even though they seem the same, I only really use them in summer as I,m generally pissed off with retying them by autumn so get the tubes out

Yea I've recently started on game. if they are within reach. But there is a few trees with shoes in them ( kids from football chuck them up when they get new shoes) so perfect targets. 

So far good few pigeons and a rabbit with the scout

just used some precise. 65 23/18 taper. didn't get many shots and what I didn't like it snapped without warning halfway along the band. I have found with gzk bands they tend to get little tears near the pouch so at least you know they are ready for going.

You find if banda arnt freshly tied up they snap quicker

Bought one a couple of weeks ago cause everyone was saying how good they were. Lt is bigger than what I normally shot with. It shoot straight but well low, I'll have to work on it.

I got that pissed off with buying different rolls of bands, when I finally settled on one type the next roll I bought wasn’t the same as the 1st ie too much stretch , So I opted to go back to tubes... Dankung 1745 looped throws the 10mm lead perfectly. Can’t see me changing back to flats in the near future.
