Guns n Stuff

[Ivywoods]

Has anyone noticed that Mamacatpatch, (who started this thread) has not been back on here since her fist post?

Maybe she learned all she needed to know.
Maybe she learned more than she wanted to know.
Maybe hubby made the decision for her and went out and got her a gun.
We may never know.

It would be nice to know if she got one, what she got,and what she thinks of it!

Carry on.

Don't y'all just love it when some one starts a thread like this and then never rejoins the discussion? Kinda like opening a can of worms and watching the chickens all scramble to see who can get the most. And, no one even mentioned a slingshot.

Maybe that's because the only thing I ever hit with a slingshot was the back window of our station wagon when I was a kid. Shattered it.

I swear, I swear I was aiming at the lisence plate!

lol I'm no "King David" ether so I'm not a fan of slingshots ether.

My son's FIL can take out a chicken with a slingshot.

I was once a real crack shot with a slingshot and a ball bearing

Furries and fowl alike feared me, lol!

Then I grew up and moved on to a rifle and shotgun.

I tried a laser sight, it didn't work for me. It works fine for paper targets, but small game was spooked by the red dot of light. (Squirrels & Rabbits). I learned "Kentucky windage" for drop and drift, the laser sight actually made it more difficult for me to hit the bull’s-eye.

Are you certain it was the "red dot of light" that was spooking them? Most animals cannot see the red spectrum. That's the premise of using red lenses on spotlights for varmint hunting at night......the red light does not spook the animals like white light does. And you can always use a green laser. They show up far better in daylight. I have one on a Glock 23 that is visible over a hundred yards away in broad daylight.

I will dispute the concept that animals can't see something when you use a red light. Why does a cat which supposedly can see only yellow, blue, and green wavelengths chase my red laser pointer? Why does a dog which can see only black/white chase it? Why did that squirrel in the Mulberry tree flinch and move every time the red laser dot touched it? And I popped 5 squirrels in a roll sitting quietly on the ground, using open sights and CB 22, with a laser pointer----nada. Even rabbits noticed something and left when the red dot approached and not otherwise. You might of well ask why it is Bigfoot sees and avoids trailcams.
