    So many hilarious thoughts from the last few posts
    As for lead, I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time when a customer was ripping out his old sash windows before the plastic window guys turned up, I still had time to go sea fishing back then so was always on the hunt for lead to make weights.
    I do have a shed load of 9.5 bearings here from my days messing with a catty, but I always preferred the deadly effect of a lump of lead, my list of exotic victims was to say the least extensive, but anyway moving on swiftly "we unfortunately live in different times now" .
    Sadly now with how short sighted I am I struggle to hit a chicken egg at 100 yds












    Yeah right, more like struggle to hit a shed if I'm stood inside it!

    You had better ask for an orderly queue for that Mike! PS, I was first to offer you drink at the bash, just saying like.

Maybe I should circumcise that back a bit cos the diameter of the sight clamp won't fit over the elastic
    I shortened the elastic on mine, having penguin arms means its barely stretched at full pull, power goes up if its nearer the extreme length.

    I'm looking good for the April bash as well now. The family have agreed on going to Cyprus later in the year as they can appreciate the importance of shooting things and drinking!!!
