b'CAST CLASSICSBATTERED BOXER ne n \x08Supplied without any bandset. It is expected these will be going to folks who can source square elastic and make their own bands. (Ranger in Surbiton is good. Also The Hunters Lodge in Tonbridge.) Legend has it that this was once a door knocker. Long since spotted as a slingshot, it was modified and copy-cast at a foundry. John Webb III believes Bells of Hythe were the first to do so. The frame features in his early videos. Available in aluminium or weighty brass from ProShot ever since. Seen here banded with flats via WASP squashy-plugs. Brass is 50, ally is 40.Material: aluminium or brassLength: 135mmFork Width: 70mmFork Gap: 40mmTip Hole: 5mmWeight: 240g in brass, 87g in aluminiumSized for young hands RUNNING LURCHERS & HARESAgain, no bandset included. For these are embellished versions of a 1950s classic shape, seen in the collection of N. Bird on page 45 of this issue. Yet these are a serious evolution. The old ones were just round-handled but all these have three carefully smoothed-out finger grooves on their backs, making for a much better grip. Then either a single or dual lurcher or hare motif has been added before casting. You can see the grain detail again, around the dogs and the hare, despite their shined surfaces. Suitable for boyish hands, they are small sized.

This may not look immediately like a Game Fair design. In fact Pete reminisced that it was a Chinese-American guy, properly credited on the new ProShot website (which is dead whizzy by the way) as Daniel Ko. A very early flat band tip frame, he told Peter that he was inspired by an element of design from BMW, although we bothAhead of its timehave no idea which bit. What do you think? It has been on sale for ages, even further ahead of its time than the Viper but with odd tips. A bit like a Raleigh Chopper. Kinda cute. Available in black coated aluminium or polished aluminium for 50 and bronze for 70.
