    I balked at the $50 charge for a piece of injection molded plastic that the local hunting shops wanted so the traffic cone is getting a haircut - good idea Matt

    half a powerade bottle seems enough to get the wairarapa reds going.. the price is more than manageable compared to some of those fancy shop jobbies haha

    Yep that is right GA, or cockle shells if you are after Sika
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Munsey you shouldn't really fall for a couple of old buggers winding the rest of you up.

    Length of flexible 40mm pipe from Payless Plastics resonates well, it is certainly cheaper than the proprietary ones that H & F Hamills etc sell. Advantage being flexible is I can get slightly differing tones out of it

    I don't know what it's out of.

    I do know my old man has had it since I was a boy, it has never been fitted to a vehicle and we called up three stags with it last roar.

    Cheers
