Bubbas down Under Go Full Hollywood on big wasp nest. A real SWAT team!

Charles, back in May I pre-ordered one in .20 cal, which will take ??? to be made and get to the USA. I hope it will be as good an experience as what you have found with your .177 units. So far, the Blue Streak is my favorite gun; it made me seek another .20 cal gun that doesn't need an external...

How about just before sunrise when air temp is coldest and the effers are in the nest but sluggish? I've used Raid Black to kill individual yellowjackets and paper wasps when I see them, but not a nest of them. Good for maintenance and prevention of nest building. The fuller the can, the better...

Just me; I'm happy with that because I consider shooting an individual, long-term attempt to improve skills. My husband does not mind in the least, and that is good enough. Of course, I spend only my own money for the gear and supplies. We treat hobby expenditures that way. Necessities are...

It used to be COLDorado. Now it is ColorHOT-o.

If Alvin and Theodore are Alvina or Theodora, you'd better look out for Simon/Simonette also. Oo ee oo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang!

Downsizing, oh, yeah. The benefit of downsizing in both of our last house sales/purchases has been downsizing each time. Not so much about the space but in getting rid of things that take space! This year I've repeatedly eyed gear and my own creations from past "addictions", knowing I could...

Shooting them or buying them? For me, the shooting is sort of addictive but the buying is not, other than the ongoing need for more pellets. Either way, it is as addictive or as expensive as how big a slice it is in your pie of activities and spending that allows you to be happy. I love...

I thought voles only came out after dark. We often see their dirt mounds but never them. They killed two beautiful yuccas by burrowing over and chewing the roots. I wouldn't mind "chewing" the perpetrators in return.

Starlings and house sparrows abound in nearby pastures and aggie properties, yet they almost never fly to our property despite proximity. I think our forested and brushy/wild land harbors too many natural predators for them to feel comfortable. Euro doves, OTOH, continually try to expand their...

I like crows. There, I said it. They and many other bird species watch us and figure out if we intend to shoot them. Nuthatches here actually would fly closer to me when I start shooting, or even when I come outside with rifle in hand. I occasionally put peanuts in trees for them. Flycatchers...

Project guns don't attract me. If I were mechanically gifted, they probably would, though. I enjoy the hyperfocus aspect of shooting, whether it is plinking cans or working on my accuracy with paper targets. It is a brief respite from what often feels like a manically distractive, jangling...

Marflow, I don't know if it has a ball bearing under the rear sight. I can't see under it. After dinner I tested the trigger by shooting 10 pellets. Everything was back to normal.

I tightened it...the wrench set I bought in January was perfect for the awkward angle. One end of the L has a multi-angle shape on each of the 9 keys. The trigger needs the 2mm key. They are made in Sweden for Pedro's NA, a Boston company that sells bicycle tools. I ordered mine from...

Strange, but if it is easy to adjust I can't complain. The gun has had 5000+ shots so far. Thank you. The only maintenance I've done is to very occasionally Patchworm the barrel and add a drop of ND30 to the hinges (if needed), plus check the condition of the breech o-ring. Nearly every session...

Shade overhead and good concrete below the feet (or butt)! I'm jealous.

PEP3, I was wondering if that little hole in the trigger had a recessed adjusting screw in it! I will try your idea. Is it a metric Allen? Pretty sure I have a 1mm Allen key around, definitely have 2mm. The trigger mysteriously recovers from its slackness, BTW. During today's shooting session...

My P3 began doing that a couple months ago. I have not tried opening the gun. From the comment above, it sounds like something for me to leave alone as long as other functions are good.

Myself, if that counts. Never with other people, let alone in competition. I don't even know any women who shoot airguns. Or men, come to think of it. (This is PB-crazy country.)

One other visual identifying difference: if you watch both kinds in flight, the beautiful high-contrast pattern on the Mourning Dove's tail is obvious. The tail is also noticeably longer than that of the eurotrash dove. I haze the eurotrash doves with steel cans, either the noise from shooting...
