I just read about Ron. Terrible, like much of last year.

Yesterday was an unseasonably warm, beautiful day. Perfect day to head outdoors for some target practice. I don't have a slingshot and given the current shortage I don't want to use up precious ammo that can't be readily replaced. So I dusted this off and got to shooting.

That is a beautiful Lambsfoot you have there..

A real shame Christian, and totally out of the blue Glad you're having some good weather, that's a cool pic, beautiful old Lambsfoot. I haven't had a go with a blow-gun since the 70's, but I thought they were cool, and very instinctive to aim. For some reason they were banned here, no idea why, you could still buy an AK at the time

What the...!!!.

Misery loves company

Hunker down and stay safe, Jack! Oh wait, that's what you've been doing anyway...

Thank fellas. Jack Black like you I did find the blowgun fairly instinctive. Much more so than the old slingshot I used to have. I'd quickly go hungry if I had to hunt with one though.

I was very surprised at the penetrative power of the darts. Initially my backstop consisted of a single layer of cardboard box. After a half-dozen went straight through the cardboard, leaving the caps behind, I thought that it would be prudent to add a few more layers. I ended up with four in total. My shots would go through three with just the tip poking through the last layer.

All in all the blow gun is a very cool instrument. Now where to find some poison-dart frogs? ......

Good afternoon Guardians, may I introduce my newest addition:

And I would like to ask your advice. This Lambsfoot has a "split hoof", part of the horn is separated.

I am currently trying to rehydrate the horn. Once this is accomplished, should I epoxy the split and the other cracks or should I have the sides replaced?

Thanks Rachel Yeah, I'm on a hill, so it isn't going to make a great deal of difference to me I don't think - Danger of Inconvenience! - Might delay my beer delivery again though

Yeah, I was surprised how accurate they were Christian. I think the one my American pal had was the model they used to advertise in comic-books, with the guy holding up the big ant-eater! Easier to use than a slingshot, but I've also been surprised how fast you can get accurate with one of those too I need to get back to using mine now my back is OK again, for the moment at least

Congratulations B brewbear That's a shame about the horn Nothing to lose from trying epoxy, maybe press the layers of horn together as it sets? I wonder if clear nail-varnish might even be worth trying?

I would try to slowly fill the crevice with super glue, a couple little drops, wait some to let it reach the bottom and dry and repeat as needed. Once it's filled sand with very fine wet/dry paper and then buff. I did something similar with stag and it worked.

Great advise.I always listen to advise and tips from someone who has previously done a similar job..

Yes, it is and this is the reason I asked here, I figured someone with more experience will give good advice.

Thanks for putting us on the map Barrett

Good morning Guardians, miserable weather here, and due to get worse Hope the rest of you are getting some sunshine, with brighter days ahead Thought I'd carry this older TEW today. Most of the older ones I come across have these cheap Bexoid covers, but the steel is good. Take care out there Guardians, and have a good day

 

[Corto_Malt]

Have a nice day.
