    What you shot this christmas then?

    OK, the wife told me to chop up some old food and give it to the birds. So after she went to work, out came the HW40. 4 mini pork pies, three vol u vents and 4 out of date sausage rolls went in a cardboard box at 6 meters. 40 odd RWS Hobbys later, they were suitably shredded. Wonder if she'd miss that 100 pack of tea lights from Ikea

    Wot i shot

    You realise that when your local dickies have scarfed that lot,

    Your average heavier than air bird will have a maximum altitude of 3.2 inches,

    Your moggie/dog is going to have a field day



    Happy New Year.

    My funniest "lost arrow" session involved losing one (never did find it), but in the course of searching for it, finding one that I'd lost during a previous session!

    Pretty well shredded my target holder (big cardboard box stuffed with rags, carpet underlay and similar oddments) in two sessions with my new CX4.
    30 shots in under 15 seconds does cause some wear and tear.

    Seem to remember a similar problem to the arrows when I tried golf. Much prefer the fire and forget approach of a pellet (except the odd bit of plaster on the spare room wall)


    Anyone tried golf with a bottle of Gin and a catapult?
