Damn, I ordered this. I don't know why.
I guarantee you'll enjoy it. May I suggest this little bit of kit to go with it, at an unfrivolous £12.29. Holds the targets and as a bonus catches your ball bearings so you can reuse:https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01HTYGVVG/ref...
Decent quality steel so can be mounted to a fence and left outdoors.
Damn this thread and thank you Sisters of Percy! You reminded me of an old project I had lined up for one of my air rifles, so I’ve got them out, dusted the off and checked them over. One is still 100%, but the other needs some tlc.
The plan is now to 3D print an entire stock for it! Now trying to calculate how my filament I need, and how many parts I’ll need to break it down into so it will fit in my medium sized printer... no I’m not contributing to this thread by buying a 10 grand printer for this!,

If we're all getting them out (Ooer), I'll post my two. Both airsoft. I thought my glock was a Umarex but its a WE G26, shows how long it's been since I used them 
Literally just used for plinking these days and that's it. Overkill but they are satisfying things, weights, materials etc are both pretty good.

At £87 I couldn't resist. Not sure when and where we'll use it though.
Can I ask where you got it for that price?

Nice keyboard Rod! Literally just used for plinking these days and that's it. Overkill but they are satisfying things, weights, materials etc are both pretty good. Shnozz said:

I just bought myself a DJI Mavic Mini drone, and its BRILLIANT!
Just waiting to see if I can get a discount for Pure Scooters and then it'll be an M365 pro scooter that I don't really need.
I eventually succumbed to a DJI Mavic Mini and had my first play with it this evening. Coincidentally I also have a M365 in my basket with my finger hovering over the card details.Just waiting to see if I can get a discount for Pure Scooters and then it'll be an M365 pro scooter that I don't really need.

Cheers, it was a frivilous purchase along with a matching mouse earlier in the lockdown
Good work, have my eye on one to replace my Saitek Eclipse II when it finally dies. Mouse is fine, Razr Mamba but needs a new battery now and the wife needs a new mouse so I might just copy your setup and gift her the mouse lolgeeks said:

I'd highly recommend the Roccat stuff. My keyboard is last gen so got it fairly cheap (around £60) on amazon after a bit of hunting around. The Mouse is a Roccat Kone Aimo and the keyboard the Horde Aimo. Keyboard is nice as it's membranichal so feels great but is a lot quieter than a mechanical. Palm rest has been a saviour with working from home.
Went wired mouse as I'm crap at keeping stuff like that charged
less to go wrong! It's good but quite easy to knock the dpi buttons and send the mouse flying across the screen. This has kept me busy over lockdown. Not all my fault....
I wanted an arbour for the bottom of the garden so I could overlook the pond. Original arbour was about £150 and more of a seat. Then stepped in husband and arbour went up to £500. At that point he says 'well it needs a deck base to stand on', closely followed by 'oooh I could build a pier'. Pond level is really low at the moment so pier doesn't actually reach the water at present. It's spring fed so should rise again soon.
Anyway, arbour arrived earlier, built it and then went and spent a bit more on plants....
Need some nice weather to go and sit with a cuppa and my book now.
