Loading a eurogun

Hello all!

I would like to know your opinions about what is the best way to load a 110 cm band eurogun.

Many thanks.

I can't tell you the "best" way but I'll tell you my way. You'll have to learn the best way for yourself.
I start from the hip and go to my chest. First I put the butt of the gun on my hip, grab the bands very close to the wishbone and pull down to the first notch. Then I move the gun up to the center of my chest and pull back to the last notch. Make sure the wishbone is seated in the notch well before attempting to remove your fingers from between the bands and the barrel of your gun.
Some people load directly from their chest. Just start out w/ the gun centered on your chest. If your arms are long and strong enough then this may be a possibility too. you'll find what works best for you and then that will be the best way.

The alternative method Jay mentions is found here:

Many people(including myself) use this method, but be sure to have some padding on your chest... i still have scars from dving in Hawaii one day without a wetsuit

Good luck

1. Go to the garbage can.
2. Lift the lid.
3. Throw the gun in.
4. Replace the lid. All nice and neat.

furthering euro relations wherever I go...

Method #2

Similar to Sven's:
1. Wait for garbage men to empty previously loaded can of Riffes/JBL's.

Method 3

Hire a caddy to load ur gun for you. If you have two guns, u hire two caddy, this way you can do second shot in a breeze.

I used to hunt with one of my client, an old man, very generous and sweet man. Evertime he is around me and if he missed the shot, he will grab my gun without any warning and passed me his gun to re-set....... He shoot with my gun and takes back his ready to use gun while passing me back my own gun, then I have to re-set my gun again. This is why I kept a good distance when I dove with him.... ha ha ha



Method 4

Ask Kapiten Rig for that girl's spearo number who has a 63" Wong Ono gun. If you court her, I am sure she can load ur 110cm Euro.... he he he he...just kidding.

maybe more geegaw but...

it could help you load your gun In Italy the trend has gone to 20mm elastics and as a result they have a tool that looks something like a horse shoes and hold the sides of the wishbone. the handles i suppose shorten the reach some and add grip. i can't be certain I have never felt a need for one, but it might be of interest to you.
