wymberley Posted June 1 Report Share Posted June 1 (edited) I've got the red one. Picked it up at a show from the guy who had them done. Annoyingly I can't remember his name - a right character who turned up at shows all over the country - it'll probably come to me if I stop trying to remember - hang on, Ronnie something or other? Anyone know his surname? EDIT: Not too sure I've got the right chap now. Was it Sunshine and did he have the fox?

TIGHTCHOKE Posted June 2 Report Share Posted June 2 (edited) They should have been called "STROKE, DON'T POKE" I have a black paper case with a word printed in gold that I cannot use on here, it starts with W and has 6 letters. I would be most interested to know what the idea was. Possibly placed in to the gun by a friend who when the bird was missed would say "now look at the shell" Edited June 2 by TIGHTCHOKE SYNTAX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
