Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

Well I received a custom .715 bal mould from Jeff Tanner in the UK. This is the recommended size ball for my Pedersoli Kodiak. I cast 75 balls yesterday in the South Florida heat. Thank goodness there was a breeze. I did this all out in the yard, so I that means I bent over at least 75 times. It was a tough day and now I can see why cast balls cost so much. I am still gathering all the necessary items needed to fire the monster.
