Lovely job, some decent kills there. What tubes do you use for the 10mm? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I knew someone was going to ask me mate buys a tonne of different tubes off that Ali express some are good some ain’t I know the stuff I’m shooting at the minute is 5080 you will get odd fliers but it me got some speed. the only downside I can say is on the little leads if your shooting stuff infront of dogs in bramble the shot doesn’t quite punch through like a 12mm or 14mm and where they are so small it’s hard to see ya shot and adjust how your shooting Quote Link to post Share on other sites
C.green 3,253 Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 (edited) I have been shooting a real good flat bad I think it’s catty shack red shot 25-20 for 12mm steel or 20 straight cut for anything smaller it’s brilliant stuff I’ve not seen a flatband come close to it for longevity and power the 1.1 was better again seemed stretchier Edited July 3 by C.green 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Wilkes 3,163 Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 I'm using. 85 redshot with 11mm steel and its killing at good distances. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oxo 533 Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 I've got a roll of .8 red shot and I think it's shite, heavy draw, inaccurate and not very fast! Not a patch on snipersling imo. Used to like the old milky white 1mm gzk cut 30/20 on a ppmg years ago. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andysparks 127 Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 It's mad how dolifferent people like different bands, that's why I always try something myself before making an opinion. There's so much inconsistency in batches too 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Wilkes 3,163 Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 There's no continuity in any of it.. they vary from roll to roll never mind manufacturer. That's why I went onto dankung tubes. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Wilkes 3,163 Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 I was given a .9 snipersling green set cut at 25/17 and it was brilliant and the lad sent me another set from a different roll and it squeaked as I pulled the bands back... terrible it was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andysparks 127 Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 People are slagging the dankung tubes off now too though, stating their not the same as they used to be and inconsistent. The trouble i find with buying from China is that you never really know what your getting and by the time it gets to your door step, I can't be bothered to complain. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andysparks 127 Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 (edited) For such a low tech hobby, I seem to no have end of problems lol Edited July 3 by andysparks 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andysparks 127 Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 And to add to my problems, my boy found a day or two old pheasant chick that had been abandoned and bought it home. We've been raising her for the past few weeks and will likely have to release her in the next few weeks. There's no way I can go out this coming season and shoot any hen birds with a clean conscience! 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's so much inconsistency in batches too Yes I’d very much agree. The difference in the 1.1mm and the 1mm was enormous performance wise yet you wouldn’t believe it on paper. mr Wilkes you ever tried tapered tubes ? I cant remember where I used to get them but they were very consistent but I found you had to choose pouch and tying material carefully Edited July 4 by C.green Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Leo Sayer 3,624 Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 I've just never got on with tube, seems so slow to me to shoot compared to flats. Should give myself a kick up the arse and practice more and give tube another try. Another thing with me is I can only shoot 90 to 100mm frames so I can't shoot them little gypsy frames with tube for love nor money. I think maybe a lot of lads possibly shoot instinctive with those small frames and tube ?? Were as I shoot ott and aim. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
