Just signed up for the shoot and made sure your names are on the list Stu and Ozzy, also that we are in the same group. Yippee.

BTW if anyone's over March way this weekend have you seen there's a meet up arranged by Leigh at Wimblington (50acres of woodland with 5 fishing pits )?

 

[ozzy1977]

Cheers Steve it will be a laugh, do you know who else is with us?

 

[Cromm]

No Ozzy I didn't ask.

First sheath almost finished. Just needs 'finishing' and some shoe polish i guess. Rushed really, i was eager, didn't take me long. (maybe 30 mins at most?) I look forward to doing more leather stuff, though something I realised, need a better hole punch but it will do for now.

I posted the Green Chilli recipe in the monthly meet thread.

For those that wanted to know about my smock, this is it http://www.titanproducts.co.uk/tita...ded-cotton-fishing-smocks-from-2299-153-p.asp they don't do it in green anymore it seems

 

[MarkinLondon]

That's the smock? How does it shed water? A fishing smock should do it well.

Its plain good old canvas, not water repellent in the slightest, I had toyed with using nikwak cotton proof on it though.

 

[MarkinLondon]

The Nikwax stuff is pretty good, but certainly not waterproof. I tried it on a sack made from a pair of old blue jeans, and while it didn't absorb any water, the water leaked in. It wasn't a complete failure though. I use the bag and it's definitely better than having no treatment at all.

As promised I've sent an email to the Titantex manufacturers asking if they do any bulk/ group buy discounts.

A little disappointing that they don't do green or black anymore though, we'll see what they say!

Hi there, not posted anything for a while but have been following things hoping I'll have a weekend free when you'll meet up sometime!
Anyway, found a very fresh muntjac roadkill last week. I won't be using the hide and don't want it to go to waste.
I've stuck it in the freezer and if anyone's passing Woodbridge and would like it please pm me.
Cheers.

Looks like it's going to be a wet weekend, should be fun to do archery in.
