i went to see an old muzzleloader shooting buddy this morning (i had lent him a ball mold).
i mentioned that i was building small balsa airplanes.
he flies rc but he does not put anything together. he tells me that a friend of his gave him a small box of balsa and said i could have it. sure why not!
we go to the garage and this is what he gave me.. not a very small box of balsa.
what the heck am i gonna do with all that?

but of course, there was always a size or shape that I didn't have, so I'd get some of those next time I went.
But now that Steve Webbs, from Frodsham, has closed, I'm having to use my stock, and I seem to be out of moulded leading edge and triangular trailing edge stock, so may have to resort to laminating and sandpaper!

Nice pile of wood by the way, plenty of building there.
Do it now, you may never get another chance

There were two advantages - disregarding the lack of weight of the ammo, it was a lot quieter, and you didn't have to wait ten minutes for the cloud of smoke to disperse, so you could see if you'd hit the target!

a jackknife in a pocket here can be considered a concealed weapon.

Although it wasn't of the same calibre (sorry!) I did a lot of .177 air rifle shooting a few years ago, but became tired of the long tedious drive to the range, just for maybe ten minutes on the 'step' (althogh it wasn't a step!).

Eric.
that is an issue here as well. a 45 minute drive to an overcrowded range that is expensive to belong to.
i actually gave all my .177 's to my grand kids. (they are in north alberta outside of town where they can plink in their back yard). i used to live where i could shoot my air rifle in my back yard, the kids and i had a great time plinking away at pop cans. i look at what is out there for sale now and i see some pretty nice air guns.

We are allowed to use lethal force but it's just not worth it. All your firearms are taken into custody and by the time the Police get to the scene it's been modified to favour the criminal by his cronies so you have to spend time in the cells until the magistrate can hear the case! Out on the farm owning a JCB is a definite advantage.

There was a 'thing' going arond on Facebook that read - "We in the UK have free speech, and the police will arrest anyone who disagrees."
