2nd and 3rd September 2017 Boinger Bash And Fundraiser In Aid Of St Giles Hospice

Double the reasons for a celebratory drinky at The Bash, Pete.

Excellent!

You deserve it, matey.

Absolutely Pete, congrats on both counts

I think I would like De-twanging Possibly silencing too

Been having some good fun in the back yard but quite aware of the noise hence the thoughts of a pfft!

Yep, someone at the shop said you could do with a good de-twanging, David!

If you decide on a de-twang at some point, they're dead easy to work on and I know you'd be well capable of doing the fettle.

If you're not doing so already, a nice quiet backstop / pellet trap works wonders.....Argos catalogue, concrete / slab enclosure filled with sand, a large cardboard box stuffed tightly with old clothes / rubber mulch will all be good.

Good advice above from Our Tone Davy. I would also add squirrel as a good backstop in the garden

Lol!!!!

Don't you find, however, that the crack of a good old head shot can be a little loud, Pauly?

More of a satisfying Thwak ! Tone Even better is the silence coming from the loft in the Winter when it's squirrel free

Absolutely, PaulyBoy.


Hey, I hear that there's some wet weather coming our way.

An opportunity for some mollusc mangling?

[TonyL]

Anyone heard from Chris Allum ?

So, has anyone heard from Chris at all?

[NewPaul]

Absolutely, PaulyBoy.

Yeah, the weather forecast on TV said "ferocious thunder-storms" it looked mainly to be on the South coast though so Tinners and Moley are . It will be a challenge getting a pellet in a snail before the lightening gets it. Batten down the hatches lads.

S'ok, we're on the North coast!

Of?

Imagine the awesome footage though, Pauly....mega slow-mo camera and pellet smashing into old Snaily just as it's illuminated by the bolt of lightning!

Maybe catch some of the slimy buggers first and put them on a steel tin lid to guarantee the fatal, electrifying attraction!

As long as their gnashers aren't too ferocious.

It's not sport, it's survival!

Mmmm....nasty little f--kers, then, as Pauly and Pete had previously also alluded to.

Okay then bring on the .25s or Barracudas!

I see there's a thread entitled ".20 'slug' pellets".


Somehow I don't think the two are related!


Having said that Nick, now you have your own Sheridan, that'd be an excellent competition - slug vs slug.
