When the conversation "revolves" around about Shooters and Guns, it always reminds me of the old Hollywood Cowboy and Indian Films, which we all watched...

..maybe that's where the whole idea, and fascination, comes from... ;)...!

I blame John Wayne...and Clint Eastwood!... ::)...!

Over here we had Robin Hood, and Bows and Arrows*... ;D...!

Paul....Hi-Ho Silver!... ;D...!

Especially when a buck's sticks are bigger than yours.
Would you like to repeat that again, very slowly, very clearly, and very precisely...
Don't blame me -- he's the one who mentioned "animals with sticks." I, of course, was referring to antlers... you, on one hand or the other, may have thoughts (thank the Lord I changed the word I first used!) elsewhere.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could start all over again...

... with just using a grunt, and an angry grimace...

I had great fun in with a spud gun whist on holiday in the States this year. We did it at night, it was like watching a Howitzer going off. Building one in Germany though would get you a very nice one room hotel with three meals a day........................ ::)

2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Matt, spud guns are illegal in Michigan as well but every decent man has either made one or shot one. My dad may or may not  ;) have had one he named "Big Bertha", man she was a beaut! Sadly after a LOT of use we had to scrap her  :'(

Greg, FN?! Nice!  8-)
