Been using same for 49 yrs. And would never change Change it up a bit and learn mate, if you can hit anything with those old square bands you should be like Robin Hood with some of the newer tubes and flat bands, nothing wrong with the fork after all it’s a Y shape but modern elastics are far superior to the old stuff 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
C.green 3,203 Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 Gone back to tube lately doing well with it. I like using sqaure but hard to find decent stuff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 25,286 Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 Quite rate the orange dub dub, but haven’t had any decent square for years last lot I bought was as horrible as the stuff we got as kids, but I think Darren off here had some really nice red square stuff a while back Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know everyone says u shouldnt need shot that big but i just like it ome thing with tube though some bits in a roll of it are good and others are rubbish i had a squirrel look at me and laugh today wheres before that shot dozens same mame of tube just a different bit. its easy to get good with flatband its a whole different skill to have a good day with a cut natural fork sqaure or tube and big leads but its in my opinion its alot more of a laugh for meself and the dogs Edited March 13, 2022 by C.green 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 25,286 Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 Sadly 40 years of plastering ave left my shoulders a bit wank, so a bit of 1m flat/ orange dub and 12mm lead is about as much as I can manage for any length of time nowadays Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andysparks 105 Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 These were the only two frames I used for along time, shooting 14mm lead with square elastic. I haven't shot with them for over a year now and use flats with 10mm lead. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
