Sarci sparki 16 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) Well just got back from a few hours mooch with the catty and dog, didnt get anything this time, couldnt of been worse. First shot was at a drey because there was nothing about. Took a quick half draw shot and crack straight into my fork putting a big crack through the bamboo.. annoyed isnt the word lol. Second shot was a woody 10 yards sitting low In a tree, quartering on to me with its breast and crop on show, perfect. Took the shot and the asda blue straight cuts (which im preferingto shoot now im getting used to them) gave abit of a crack and my hexnut hit it as it jinked from the crack of the bands staright in the top part of the wing absolutely gutted. Third shot, was another woody sitting about 15 - 20 yards high in a tree. This is the furthest shot I've done so far on quarry as my consistency is coming on. Let off the hexnut, crack again the woody takes off just as my hexnut glides perfectly to where the pigeons head/neck would have been. Not that bothered about this one as I didnt hit it and know I would of dropped it if the bands werent so loud but why are they so loud? Is it just the blues or because thry are not tapered? My tapered theraband were really quiet. Leads me onto my next question are tubes like 1745 black loud? Opinions please:) Cheers fellas Edited March 1, 2015 by Sarci sparki Quote Link to post Share on other sites
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Only time I've forkhit recently is by half drawing and generally pissing about, depending on how bad the crack is I would fill it with some epoxy and clamp, be good as new. Also single 1745 with m 8 nuts is as quiet as it gets. Looped tubes are pretty quiet too 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Longers7 720 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 One of my reasons for now only using looped tubes, was the crack from flats. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Single flatbands aren't that loud maybe try that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roosika 110 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Single taperd flats are good , or dub dun us not to loud tbh 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 1,783 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Apologies for interrupting the thread, but what does "half drawing" mean? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Only drawing half way, usually when your twatting about trying to shoot a mate on the arse without hurting them lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roosika 110 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Yeah , but sone times I be a c**t and shott them full power hahah 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sarci sparki 16 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Yeah I'm just going to two part expoxy it, will be fine and in the meantime just use as is as the crack closes with the pressure on the bands. Will try 20mm straight cut blues with [BANNED TEXT]'s until the rotary cutter arrives, got a small poly hts on the way from pocket predator to carry while I'm at work so my wooden ones dont get scratched - lol - I think that has the option to put tubes on if i remember rightly so going to order a length of 1745, wheres best for 1745? Ebay? Exactly what youcanthide said mate, only drawing halfway to piss about, eg. Bag thats blew in a tree, at a drey to see if anything pops out or firing a mouldy acorn at your dogs arse cos its ran off with your squirrel... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Straight from dankung mate. Cheap as chips for 10 metre. Love the pocket predator catties. My main shooters 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sarci sparki 16 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 The tubes cheaper than the shipping! Lol Ordered some anyways, I hope so mate, did you buy your topshot to order? Just hoping this small poly hts isnt a beast lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 No mate it was second hand from a bloke on another forum, the small hts should be fine, if you go onto the gallery bit at the bottom of the page there's a picture saying prototypes for sale, have a look on that pic and see if theres any you like. Cheap for the materials they are made from Quote Link to post Share on other sites
