I’ve always fancied a occularis, I think it would suit my way of shooting ( instinctive ).
-
Christ Fred ... don’t have a clue mate, I cut my bands at 150-170 and then trim em down to how it “feels”, different size’ for different bands if that makes sence.
-
Can’t remember the exact cost but I bought from simple shot and was hit with a £16 import tax... I vowed never to buy from them again, but I need another scout lt so I may bite the bullet ?
-
Yes pal, my bands for the scout are a good 20mm shorter as I don’t need to wrap n tuck ??
-
You won’t go wrong with the new scout lt , if your shooting pigeons, rabbits and close squirrels then get some gzk green .7 Cut at 25/20 and some 9.5mm steel from “ Balls of steel” Suffolk .. a cheap enough combo that’ll put food on the table.
-
I’ve shot a lot of stuff with the original scout (Xt) but the new scout lt Is something else. I only bought it in May and I could bore the feck outa people with pics of what I’ve shot with it, once you match your ammo with your bands it’s unbelievable. What ammo you using Neal ?.
-
I did yes, nice combo ( .66 and the pouch). these days I mainly hunt squirrels and for me I wouldn’t go any lower than .8 band and 11mm steel. They are tough feckers and to consistently kill you need to up the ante. But now and then I don’t perform as accurate as I should do I put on a light set up and gain my form back.
-
The.66 gzk you sent me is lovely stuff, I shot 7mm and 8mm fine with it ??
-
My anchor point never changes, if I shoot instinctive it’s just under my eye/top cheek and if I shoot gangsta with a reference point on the fork tip it’s the corner of my mouth, it’s the frame that moves up or down for me.
-
The scout has served me well over the years
-
I lost a bit of form recently so decided to use the gzk .66 that short straw sent me. I had a load of 7mm bearings that you get as freebies from balls of steel not doing anything so used them...WOW... the accuracy was unreal, spent a day just shooting bottle tops out to 20 yrd to get my confidence and form back . Yep it worked, cheers shortstraw ??.
-
Looking good mate, nice shot placement ??
-
Try 1745 tubes ( single ) for the 9.5mm steel and as c green says use a constrictor
-
I think the black is anti cold but don’t know about the rest.
-
Ott mate
-
Tried the ppmg....not for me I’m afraid but the scout lt is a different matter. I have never shot as well as I am at the moment , im killing daily with mine and with a bit of luck you should do the same ?? I’m after another but as you say the uk have sold out and I’m waiting for pro shot to restock.
-
There’s a guy nr me who makes these, I’m all for getting one but would a hedgehog feed and sleep in the same place ?.
-
I think I have to devise something for them to go in and feed, if not I’d be feeding the local cat population ?
-
Your more than welcome , enjoy ? .
-
Got to admit I have a soft spot for hedgehogs, what you feeding them ?. I know we have at least one that goes in all our gardens and there is a few up allotments. I once found one When I was a kid and carried it home (3miles) just to show mi dad, I put it in the chicken run but the fecker climbed out ! That autumn we had hedgehogs all over , possibly a pregnant female I found.
-
Funny you should mention hedgehogs .. I came across this one whilst on my morning walk, love to see em ??
-
Lovely shot Greyman and it’s good to see you feeding the birds ??
-
Looks alright that mate, let us know how you get on.
-
You did well finding it, I’ve let all my other cattys go now and only have the scout LT , the thought of loosing that frightens me ? can’t wait for proshot to get some More in . We didn’t try the green bands today but I’ll let you know how we get on.
-
Bands arrived today mate , cheers. My lad and I Tried em out with 9.5mm and 8mm steel. The 9.5 was a lot better accuracy wise. No noise or slap with em either ??
