My son had bought this piece a crap Armex Black shadow from the bootfair for a quid,the bands it was wearing were about as powerfull as a piece of knicker elastic,so when he notices im bored tonight he asks me to pimp it up (his words not mine).Remembering what Henry had done to a bent rod shooter i took the ideas from that,removed the yellow bands it was wearing,cut them down and used them to cover the arms,removed the wrist brace,simple lanyard,single thera gold and the jobs done.THIS THING KICKS BUTT !! So much so i have ordered one for my self £4 (oh the shame) and will be doing excact same thing but with double thera gold.

thanks for looking

Marcus you did a great job on that. One question did it have huge plastic end caps that the old tubes went over?

I have one that's similar to that in a closet somewhere. Too embarrassed to throw it out, I case the garbage collector saw it. Now I know what to do with it!

Thanks for sharing!
