Re: An old trick for rust

Good call perry I had no idea about the tomcat thing, a great handy gem. I have also used white vinegar with some iron nails left in for a week or so to wipe over timber and bring the grain out before sealing, makes the grain jump out.

Re: POLL - Trad 'Eligibility'.

You blokes are just missing the point and continuing a zealous crusade to evolve the current trad shoots into something else. Moving the benchmark for each flavour periodically will eventually end up just another open shoot. Root cause of your angst you want a new group to be eligible, either )$&...

Re: POLL - Trad 'Eligibility'.

I think you hit the nail on the head there longbowinfected it is a niche that fits well now. It's not a one size fits all, that's what club shoots and open tournaments are for. The shoots are put on as is for this niche and most also do other shoots catering for other niches as well. We have the fre...

Re: POLL - Trad 'Eligibility'.

I don't see a tuning issue I see whinging; and a group that needs to get off their bums and either go to an open tournament or a 3DAAA tournament. The line is defined for those shoots and they are called trad shoots not bitsa shoots. Instead of making nieve statements about yokels who haven't shot a...

I keep saying it and the brigade just keep nagging; just start your own open shoot. If your not prepared to move said bum and sort it, why would anyone else fix what isn't broken.
