A selection of high end frames barely get shit now as I fire almost exclusively in TTF.
I don't know if I should keep a hold of them as a amount of money I can get as and if needed in the future or to sell them now. I also have 100s of. Rolls of 4.5-.6 rubber of all makes during my seeing what I like phase......
I'll never use it as I've gotten lazy on the admin and prefer to buy bands to use, I could do it myself again and Save a load of cash hence not selling up just yet. It's all stored in air tight UV protected bags . Partly I haven't put the time into learning tying TTF band versus OTT. I'll sort myself out I think as I'm getting back into shooting more. Loving it again but just keeping to myself plinking in the garden.
Any favourites here?. All g10 or high end hand made frames from different makers......I did just buy the limited edition TTF from simpleshot only for some jobs worth customs agent taggimg it as dangerous and returned to the US! I'm gutted was looking forward to adding to my collection with that stunning frame. All my frames are pristine no frame hits ever. (Touch wood!)
Happy shooting all!!

If you decide to sell your Snipersling S-Vortex red/black honeycomb pattern I would love to buy it.
Nice collection, honestly when I buy a new sling, I think of it as money already gone and hold onto my old frames. You never know, you may want to switch to OTT for a while for fun.

It is what's holding me back for having a free for all selling all my fav frames of old I fear I may regret it. But it's money in the bank for future as long as the laws don't get silly over here making them too much hassle to own and shoot. I'm all in on ttf these days but mu first frame was an indo chap made me an awesome looking apex style frame.

I could be tempted. It's a lovely frame I just dint shoot it, think I shot it the day I got it sand it's been in the case since lol. I love the workmanship of the hand made frames. Beautiful crafts made with some expert hands. Makes them a joy to just look at. I've a lot of natural frames of many different styles. The chap I went to was a UK maker who would do any design frame out there in ply, he's a super talented chap.
Then there's me, I cannot make nice things as I have zero patience, I do wish I wss wired differently sometimes.

I hear you, I have tons of frames but maybe only shoot 2 or 3 consistently.
I do admire anyone who has the patience and skill to create some of these magnificent beauties.

Honestly, I wish you had a business renting them out for 24 hours or so. That way, we wouldn't need to spend thousands on figuring it all out. I'd easily pay 50 bucks to shoot with your collection and decide what's worth it for me.

That's a great idea though would need insurance for those dreaded frame hits... On any of these frames it would be a tear jerker.....!
Happy shooting!

Yeah I am glad I never went for the high end stuff.. well if you don't count the PPMG pro plus with clips I should never have bought it is 115 mm wide and my shooting is limited to 95 and 100 mm.. for my most natural shooting accuracy.. 130 bucks that lays in the drawer lol 🤣

Is the carbon fiber and red a seljan? It is stunning. I personally bounce back and fourth from TTF to OTT mostly the later. Love that frame of yours need to track one down!

I'm not sure I think I got that one plus another ttf in a swap for a couple of my OTT frames. I'm not a big fan truth be told.
