    He doesn't sell RWS pellets, but I thought I'd get an extra tin of FTTs in both flavours. He had run out of .22 ones, but gave me a nearly full tin that he had been given on a part exchange deal. At a glance, they look fine, so I'll give them a go.

    Was so very nearly tempted to pick some .177 Barracuda Match up, too, as I used to love the old (slightly lighter Silhouettes) years ago. Talked myself out of them, but kicking myself a little now. Anyone else use them in sub-12 boingers?

    Found myself stroking a '57 that was on the rack. I thought it prudent not to pick it up and start handling it, as I knew what'd happen....

    I'm sure the slingshot will be capable, John.


    The user, on the other hand, a different matter entirely.

    For your own health do not try and follow this thread closely. Some of us have been trying for years. You'll spot us at the bash drooling like drummers.

    Mick suggested anytime soon.

    Indeed.

    Had many a "natural" one when I was a sprog.

    Dad used to get a fair few bunnies at close range, too.

    And many a rat on the canal and farmyard met his maker courtesy of these and, later, a Saunders slingshot and the Barnett ones!
