Not a quiet day in Central Maine. Not by a long shot.

Have a neighbor somewhere within a 1/4 mile, I think....has been firing small arms, long rifles, single shot and semi-automatic all day.

I'm thinking he dumped $500.00 in ammo....why?

I'm getting a serious slingshot. Something that handles 1/2 ball bearings. My practicing will cost a lot less. And will be a lot more quiet.

1. I practice with...

Buckeyes and chestnuts. Save the bearings for when shit gets serious.

2. My range will be approx 40' off the deck. A localized target with bearing retention.

Just for funs and something to do when I am not reading DU.

4. I used mine for chasing...

Rogue cats out of the yard. Some would terrorize my cat so they got the treatment. I could fire away and, in the off chance, if I hit one there would be little damage. Just the sound of something that size whizzing by was usually enough to do the job. Buckeyes don't fly very far and never made it past my fence, the perfect yard clearing tool. And I could gather them on my way home from work since there were several trees on my route.

5. Actually, just bought 3600 3/8 in bearings. Biodegradable!

3. Haven't you heard,...

... The Orange Fuhrer declared Martial Law and Civil War has commenced in the USA. Starting in North and Central Maine and then sweeping across the country.
