    Newbie to HFT seeks a good Whipping!

    Hello all,
    Having popped my HFT cherry at Mile Oak this weekend and christening my S400 MPR I'm on the hunt for a whip and valve for a charging bottle (i have an old 12 litre dive bottle I'm going to get checked for surface use in the near future) can anyone advise the best way forward.

    Also thanks to all at the Mile Oak shoot for making me feel so welcome on Sunday. Definitely hooked and looking forward to more shoots soon.

    Cheers,

    Rich

    Haven't seen them two together for a while...they had a brief affair, not seen each other in years though!

    Some things are just best left that way....

    You are in the right location for a 'good whipping'

    Take bottle to lancing dive centre i guess would be the best move!?

    Nice meeting you..

    Lmao Mikey
    I'm rubbing nothing on you :-)
    Beware, the Hobbit forces are gathering, the precious will be ours again! *crawls into his hobbit hole muttering about polishing his precious until it's good and shiny*

    So the cylinder I can get looked at in a dive shop (one of the guys works at the East Grinstead dive shop so I'll keep it in the shooting family) but where to get a whip to attach to the bottle so I can fill the tank on the rifle?

    Richie Hobbit :-P

    Rich,
    Have a friend who's given up shooting.
    He has two complete bottles, out of test.
    Sadly on holiday at the moment, but if you're not in a hurry ..... could be a cheapish option.
    Gary.

    Hi Gary,
    Thanks for the heads up. Definately an option if they will fit the S400. Happy to hold on until they are back from hols to find out a bit more. Will also take my bottle to the dive shop and see what they have to say. Keeping all options open :-)
    Cheers

    Hi Nigel,
    Work have me on a late until 10, followed by a joyous drive to the Bexleyheath office on Wednesday at the crack of sparrows :-(
    Was looking forward to starting work on sorting site marks and maybe working the power band out.
    Definitely there next week though.
    Have a good one tomorrow night. Will catch up soon.
