  2. Simpleshot...jelly Bean Ocularis And Maxim For Swap...

    in Catapult & Slingshot Hunting

    Posted

    I will swap a brass and bone milbro style fork for the maxim or I will do you an Ali starship for them both if you would like one to try, here is a pic of both, not really worried if it's not for you but these two don't really get used much as I have several starships, and loads of nice natty,s

    Thanks Greyman,, I really appreciate your offer....I would to say yes, but I'm hoping for to get something that's going to be easy on my hand...suffering with my muscles, and unfortunately I think I'll struggle with the brass milbro, although it looks lovely. Only recently Come across the starship recently, bit too big for me.

     

    Think I might buy a sniper type eventually....I think that's the name, one with finger grooves.

    Thanks again

  5. Trouble Hitting Things,recommend Me A Catty.

    I bought a Scout a couple of years ago after constantly hitting the forks and my thumb with a milbro and my accuracy increased amazingly. The big benefit with them is that you can take the elastic off and change it easily (as it's held in place by a screwed in plate) so it makes experimenting easier.

    Had one fork hit on my scout......and guess what? Yep you got it...smacked one of the clips and bust it in two.

    Tried both......putting up for swap, not for me....don't suit my hands.

     

    Owned a week, probably 15 balls gone through each.

     

    Jelly bean as new, latex bands....with leaflet on different ways to band....takes tubes as well.

     

    Maxim,,,,,, takes flats and slits for tubes, one folk hit on inside of arch. Bands bust, must have a nick or something in them.

    Bit off topic.......I had to laugh the other day i was in a local animal food shop and pinned on the sale board was an advert for lurchers...about £250/300....little description and pics of dam and sire.

     

    Sire....deerhound/ greyhound first cross.....it was a tall, short haired bull cross.....Unbelieveable.

  10. Possible Swap In

    Balls to it...ill give it ago.

    you will always fail if you don't mate, but you might get on with it if you do, and in the overall scheme of things it's not the dearest sport in the world, so you might end up with more than one, I think I have around 8 at the moment

    Your right mate. Gave the simpleshot maxim and jellybean a good going over today. What I'm finding is I definitely seem to find some more friendly on my hands ( I suffer with the muscles in them ), I don't have the grip I used to have, but it's not going to stop me having fun.

     

    I got on quite well with my scout, but I sort of made a mess of it cutting slits in for tubes, did one side real nice with a little saw blade, but screwed the other side up with the dremel.....it melted and cut the plastic at the same side.

     

    Eyeing up my next already.

    Anybody ever do swaps on here?

     

    It's a bit premature, early days yet, but today I've just got my new Maxim from SimpleShot and I know I haven't shot it yet and it might be the best thing since sliced bread once I've shot it and go used to it, but it just doesn't seem to fit me as I'd like.

     

    I suppose I could put some padded grippy cloth on it and see how it feels.

     

    So I may be up for a swap sometime soon.

  16. Import Charges

    Anybody know much about import charges?

    So I was wondering if I ever fancied buying something from simpleshot in America what charges should I expect . Do you get charged per item or for the full cost etc.

    If anybody is clued up on it can you shine some light on it because I don't have a clue.

    Cheers

    I have just seen on an American slingshot site that simple shot mark all international packages as gifts, so there is know duty to pay, if your not already sorted

    That's exactly what's been done. It states on the package exactly what's inside and the prices of each item.

    The package was marked as gift and I haven't as yet received a charge.

     

    I have read however that if the gift exceeds a certain amount charges will apply and as far as I'm aware I'm sure the limit was in £30 bracket...I could be wrong.....seems very hit and miss.

  18. Reverce Breed Collie Greyhounds

    My lurcher although not a collie lurcher (although there is collie in her) is less than than half sighthound being spaniel x lurcher.

     

    She is not as fast as most lurchers......or particularly looks like a out n out lurcher, which causes people to judge, but she has caught me more than any other dog I've owned.

     

    More importantly to me I get more pleasure from watching her field craft than any other dog I've owned....not all about numbers.

    Just order it here:

     

    http://www.slingshotchannelstore.de/english/

     

    Coming from Germany, so no extra charges or import duties ;):thumbs:

     

    Cheers ......I noticed a link on here not too long ago for there. I managed to ruin my scout by putting slits in it for tubes, one side I did perfectly with a little saw, the other side I decided to use the dremel which ended up in cutting and melting at the same time...probably used the wrong attatchment. I nearly bought the torque from the slingshot channel, but I ended up buying a maxim and jelly bean from simpleshot........I'll post the charges on here when I get stung.

  22. Whippet Section Needed, Whos With Me ?

    I think I was a bit unlucky when I was on there, strange as it sounds this fella who was selling some pups said he wouldn't forward the pedigree of the bitch pup until I gave him proof she had been spayed if I bought her.....he guarded his SS lines that seriously. I was stunned and obviously didn't bother buying one and to be honest I couldn't have given two hoots about a paper pedigree.
