Im poor.... oh so poor (student) and i've ran out of filler (i've got shit loads of poly pellets just no weights) and i need some weight

Do anyone know where i can get some from in the uk?

most us website won't ship it over here, i can buy BB's but they never seem heavy enough for a 1/2 to 3/4 filled bag (even on there own)

Also is there anything else i could try? my stichings pretty much on the money, and i would love to be able to start trading bags on here but to do that i know i need to use filler that ppl will want in there footbags...

please help

lol

p.s i have searched the forum for an ans to my question but they only lead me to us sites etc which were no good

Yeah i just found out why lead shot is hard to get in the uk lol it's cos it's banned as a hunting material lol so i can't get it in big bags and diffrent sizes

I found ONE place which was that scuba website so i've emailed them to find out what the size is roughly of each peice other wise i'll have to find a us website that'll deliver to the uk with out costing LOADS

If it's that hard to get lead shot, stick with the steel shot. It's not toxic like lead is!
