darrren 414 Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Im after a load of square elastic and cannot find it anywhere online. Theres a few about on amazon and ebay but they only sell by the meter, i want to buy alot of it. I know you could used to get bull elastic but cant find that anywhere either. Sam and John Stanley on the warrener DVDs have the stuff by the bagfull. If anyone can point me in the right direction would appreciate it as i love square. Bells of hyth have it but not sure they are still open and again, in short amounts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carlstoke 31 Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Hi mate, I take squizzers with this elastic with big stones 3/4 to 1 inch diameter, wasted energy with light ammo 12mm lead minimum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darrren 414 Posted February 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Thanks mate. Im thinking of giving stones a try myself, give me a break from casting bloody lead all the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dave88 1,565 Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 I've tried square elastic a few times and just couldn't get on with it, felt a bit sluggish in my opinion...but I'm use to shooting flatlands so maybe that's why. Anyway good luck with it mate...you may end up liking them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 25,121 Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Thanks mate. Im thinking of giving stones a try myself, give me a break from casting bloody lead all the time. if you go to your local stream or foreshore if your near the coast an hour with a bucket will get you a load of small round pebbles that are pretty good and free I use them with square or Barnett type bands Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darrren 414 Posted February 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Cheers grey I was thinking of doing this amd giving pebbles a go. See a few lads using them to good effect,even taking game with them so something different to try. I know they're slower but I think its more the impact than the speed of the projectile that does the damage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ratbuster 807 Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Marbles are quite light, so after 8 / 10 meters they start wandering of target. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carlstoke 31 Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Had more kills with large stones than any other ammo, taken crows while out walking the dogs, big crow was bugging the dogs picked a nice round stone from the path and gave it to him, hit it in the chest killed it outright. Nowt wrong with stones and theyre free. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nowt wrong with stones and theyre free.old ruffus hussey seemed to do pretty well with stones, there's even an old video of him on some American chat show hitting things out the hosts hand live on telly, pre Internet days I used to keep the wheel nuts off the cars I scrapped and they made cracking ammo for the bigger tubes and square elastic of the time, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
