well, well, what great memories, them was the day's I could throw a dart, biggest mistake I made was swapping my brass for tungsten.

Thanks very much indeed 'getagrip' for the great memories

Dennis

You did that with brass darts?

If you want that mag I will send it to you if you PM me your address.

Brass darts...... That's where I've been going wrong, I've been using tungsten like an eejit.

welcome to DaRtS NuTz Dennis!!! No need to be concerned about being new. Everyone here keeps things light and appropriate. Don't be afraid to get involved and enjoy the friendly banter
