L-Style Shell Lock Flight Punch

As I almost exclusively used Lstyle shafts and flights, this punch and the shell lock rings have opened many new flights options. I previously only used Lstyle flights to save my expensive Lstyle shafts from being damaged. Now I can use any papers flights with the same protection from Robin Hooding. The rings do hold paper flights at more of a 90 degree angle too. I'm now shooting more accurately with my fav' barrels and Harrows Retina Velos flights that I shell locked.

This works well for the most part to get a good set of practice flights and not keep the high payment and destruction of molded flights. However if you look carefully there is a lot of wiggle room which tends to lead to Robbin hoods of the caps that go into the flight and on the shaft. It defeats the purpose that the caps do a great job of with molded flights. Overall I will still buy molded flights, but this will be a good money saver during practice sessions.

This new shell lock puncher is way better than the old design... I've always like the shell lock than any rings or even champagne lock as I love using old school flights with a bit of protection... Now, everyone is in to flight shaft incorporated thing...

It's small compared to models I've seen in on-line videos, but does the job. Haven't punched a lot flights yet, so it remains to be seen how durable it is.

Study, does well.
