I've needed to post this for a while, but life keeps interfering. Got this from Bill a little while back, and it's become my only double band frame that's in the full time shooter rotation. The fit and design are so perfect, it makes the double tbg's seem effortless. I literally got tired of changing out beer cans when shooting it and hung up a 1 lb steel coffee can so i could get more than 3 or 4 hits without having to hang a new target.

It came with the pink golds gym bands, cut quite a bit wider than these, and a straight paracord lanyard. The bands were confiscated by royal decree by my 4 year old, and I added one of my adjustable lanyards, as I prefer a little more support when shooting doubles.

The finish is fantastic, multiple coats of satin poly, hand rubbed till it's as soft and silky as oil and wax, but with better protection! If I wasn't too lazy to do all that work, I'd make him tell me how he does it :-)

Bill; Thanks a ton, I'll be using this one for a long time, I can tell.

James

That's fine by me Bill, less fighting for me to keep it, cause it's not going anywhere :-)

That looks to be a great shooter. I have several Dayhiker naturals and one of them is my current "favorite" shooter, can't seem to miss with it!

I can't say that I have that particular problem with mine Nathan, but I've never had a frame that made heavy bands feel as easy as this one.
