So as not to keep hijacking Smashie's thread in the break room, I'll be bringing my air rifle, old pistol crossbow with bolts, and ye olde black widow catapult with 8mm nuts for ammo. The odd shape and hole in the middle makes it more interesting. Anyone can fire a ball bearing straight(ish)  :D

Is that sufficient to contribute the entertainment items?

I know its a month away but I like to plan

The crossbow bolts got delivered today  :tu:

Just the new string to come. It should be 75lb but could only find 80lb strings

Not far at all, they are 6 1/2" crossbow bolts and only went 3/8" into the wood. It was a piece of old dry plywood in my garden and was a lot harder than I anticipated. The first shot I tried I was stood very close and it bounced back at me and I nearly found out adrenalin can be brown and lumpy. Scared the smurf out of me  :facepalm:

Has anyone got a suitable target for these things, which won't get vindictive and start chucking projectiles back at us?

That would make it no different to any other year  :D  It's great to be able to meet up with the guys for a few beers once a year, and it's a shame nobody has been able to come from further afield to join us yet

I've often thought of showing up unannounced.  Maybe get one of the guys (sworn to secrecy of course) to pick me up at the airport so I could just show up!  :D

I'd need to be picked up because I'm not sure I could find Donninghambrooktonshire-on-Kent by myself....   ::)
