Daniel cain 42,796 Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 These are the bands... They any good? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Wilkes 2,913 Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 What I’ve found is..... most makes of .6 to .7 will shoot 9.5-10mm steel with enough power and accuracy to hunt with. If you are moving up to 11mm steel and 10mm lead then you need to use .8 flats or double 1745 tubes. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Wilkes 2,913 Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 Forgot to say... if you are shooting in cold weather then look for something like gzk black anti cold 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jas27 16 Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 I don’t know if they are any good but I seen these on eBay for £5 each so picked up 2. Just gotta wait for them to come from China lol Not fussed about the lasers and sights etc but the handle looks pretty comfy. Anyone tried these? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bit marmite I think I love mine and find it a good accurate catty, others pick it up and say feck that, best bit I was getting quite a few agency staff through my warehouse before I closed up shop and sold quite a few of them for £20 to them, they would see me shooting a few tins with it and beg me for one, luckily I always had a spare that was there’s for a score in the drawer 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have the wasp uniphoxxx at the moment, it’s nice but it’s too small for my hand and I find it awkward to hold lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
