NO worries NR, you are right though there is another company using the same name. I believe there is a fishing line attachment option for the Talon, but I have never seen it to be honest as you can't use them in UK, maybe they are just for export??. I might contact Crossbows 4U and have a chat with the guy.


RE: What have done towards your prep? - NorthernRaider - 17 December 2013

IIRC its the budget Tiapan that has the fishing attachment, sold only in the US, my Tiapan was from CB4U and they were advertising it as a 100lb draw, then after a while they altered the addto 80 lb drawn then a while later to 60 lb draw. mine only lasted a very short while before the trigger failed.

we buy new OS maps in the weekly market at £5 per time, we've got 2 sets of all the ones we use regularly, 1 set in the car the other indoors.
