    Bloody hell, mate, I hope they sort you out very soon. I've never cut a tendon but I snapped one in my shoulder many years ago in a motorbike crash, it still gives me grief now...

    I opened a Facebook account about 18 months ago solely with the intention of useing it as a free way to help promote my own internet based business. I hated the feckin' thing with a passion as an ex of mine became obsessed with the bloody thing and it was very much a part of us splitting up but I could see it as a tool where I could reach a lot of folks for free. Within a short space of time, I'd stumbled accross a good few folks who I'd not seen for many years, not because anyone had fallen out but folks had moved away, joined up, gone travelling, whatever and we'd just lost touch. I'm ta

    Nope, I've got to be honest, I've never once shot 21 crows just before rost in a forest with a thew shots And what's 'rost'? Is it anything like Lent or Easter??

    I'm glad to hear you're OK, Tony. My offer will always stand, mate Cheers.

    The arrows alone will cost you at least a fiver a pop and for target practice with a high powered crossbow, they'll be past their best after 8 or so shots and that's even if you're useing a proper crossbow rated backstop... For those contries lucky enough to be able to legally use them for hunting, you've also got to factor in the cost of broadheads (hunting arrow tips) and for proper quality ones, not ebay sh*te, you're looking at the same again and you can't really use them again once they've been used in the field. Or so I've been told..... So it's not exactly an economic tool to be sho

    Erm... Target practice, 'cos that's all we're allowed to use them for legally in the UK If you're thinking of takeing up bow sports, check out your local archery clubs, there's plenty about but don't expect to get any joy with crossbows from them, they hate the things..... Go on a beginner's course if you can, use their gear and see if you like it before shelling out your own cash on kit Cheers.

    I've got an old belt mounted to my crossbow in exactly this way

    Great link!!! The wind can be a pain in the arse (no punn intened, honest ) but it's just like learning hold over/under, practice is the only cure. I've got to be honest though, in the 30 plus years I've been useing airguns, I'm still rubbish when it's blowey out. Never been any good when it's breezy, even when I used to be out pretty much every day Good luck!! Cheers.

    I rest my case......

    Ah, that's the diameter of the shroud that covers the barrel with the catch beneath. I measured my 90 barrel's only OD at 14mm, forgot about the catch on the 77
  12. andyfr1968
    I've just put the micrometer on my 90's barrel and it's 21mm OD. Sure it'll be the same on a 77. Cheers. Edit.....14, read it wrong

    Check out his posts, his claims, his style, the Google pics that are being posted again all of the same lines, the same questions being asked on here and many other parts of the forum, the Patterdale connection, the time of joining to the time he was last kicked off.... Shall I go on

    Hi, Tony, I really hope you're well, mate. Like I said to you before, stick with the positives like the time you've just had with Si and Laura, that's what makes the rest of the sh*te worth the effort You will be OK, Tony, just give it time. I don't know you personally but from the few chats we've had on here and after reading behind the lines of some of you're posts and replies, I think I'm pretty sure of where you're at right now and I know what you're going through and how you feel and also what you may be thinking, Tony. I'll PM you my number now and if you want to talk to som

    Give it a rest now, Liam, there's a good lad

    No Andy mate. I'm very happy with my COATRACK HW77! :laugh: Interesting that you had an S410 pcp for less than a whole year. That's a situation I saw coming with me and PCPs. I really wanted to like them but, I always immediately felt that they were incapable of absorbing something of me into them, the way a recoiling spring rifle can. You could put my spring rifles in a roomful of identical ones and I could pick mine out blindfolded. I just don't get that same sense of connection with a pcp. ATB Simon I know what you mean, Simon. The 410 was a crackingly good tool and I

    So then, Simon, you're not really tempted by one of those Hatstands after all?? I dabbled with inflatable airguns for a while but I've stayed with my springers. I only had the 410 for less than a year and to be fair, it was a nice bit of kit that didn't give any trouble but it just didn't do it for me. My 90's about twelve years old now, has shot tens of thousands of pellets and is as good now as it was when it was new.

    Hello again, Liam :welcomeani:

    Interesting clip, Jasper but the best thing was it gave links to some of John Darling's old clips, now they're really worth a watch!! Not seen those for years, god rest his soul...

    Back on track..... I'd only ever owned springers and the odd pump up until I'd tried a few modern ones at Davy's do in 09. I was having a bad day with my 90 and I was very impressed by the guns I tried. There was Davy and Scuba's 410s, an HW100, a couple for BSAs and did someone have an FN19, or am I remembering wrong...? The only other PCPs I'd used before were first generation from twentyish years ago, unreliable, p*ss poor shot count and VERY expensive I was amazed as to how far they'd come. I got myself a 410c and was very impressed by it to begin with but after a while it j

    No, that's deffo porn, mate!!

    Just another lovely example of all our rights to have freedom of speach, until you say the wrong thing.... I'm not saying I agree with all that the BNP stand for at all but that is just wrong however you look at it. One thing I am sure of though is that somethings got to change in the UK and change soon.
