Re: very important chrony lesson!!!

Bugger ... You even have the Kiwis down in New Zealand laughing on this one ! A couple of inches to the right and half inch lower and you would have been smack-on the cross hairs on CHRONY !!

If we had an issue like this in New Zealand we would go back to the retailer and give them the opportunity to sort the problem before featuring on YOUTUBE !

Yeah through my keyhole they released the biceps tendon, stitched or tidied up another tendon so it could heal and ground a spur off too, the only external evidence is 4 little 1/2' long slots around my shoulder, no external bruising whatsover... absolutely amazing technology and :idea: :idea: out f...

Another big problem I'll have for many months to come yet is that I won't be able to cock the crossbows even with the rope cocking device I have so going to make up a type of C...
