Yes, I make shot cups from coke bottles. It seems to work ok as the bore isn’t scored up at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildfowler Posted January 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 The website content can still be found here if anyone is still interested. https://sites.google.com/site/puntgunning/home The punt had an irritating seal encounter lol bet Christmas. It appears it was looking for a hammock and made do with the punt cover. During its mounting and dismounting, it managed to rip the washboard off and bend a load of the stainless brackets so my eldest son and I had to go down at high tide and bail the punt out and recover it!

7daysinaweek Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Wow! Just Wow! Read Colonel Hawkers diaries when I was a youngster. A fascinating read of a past era of punt gunning and game shooting. I take my hat off to you. P.S By the looks from the mighty explosion it could easily be taken for a rapport from HMS Victory were she still live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mat Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 Perhaps time for a hard cover? Less convientient but less likely to be a seal hammock! You couldn't dream of keeping a punt at moorings round here, it'd be stolen or sunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
