Isn't discussion on shooting at living creatures againt forum rules? Also considering the fact that I am a cat fanatic,I highly disapprove of that action. As for the rifle, it's pretty cool. I second that the ammo looks lethal.

Nah, it's ok as long as its your first time. I kick my cat whenever he pisses me off so, not much difference, exept that shooting is animal abuse. Of course, kicking is probably too, so i'll just leave it at that. :shock:

No, I hunt myself. I'm against shooting smaller animals like cats. My motto is "Don't shoot anything you intend not to eat."

Iowa seems like a great place to shoot potatoes from. Idaho is probably better though. :D :D :D I use epoxy and it works pretty well. Not great when you pump your barrel up to 150 psi, but pretty good none the less. Great Gun! :wink:

When Mac said shooting potatoes in Idaho was better i thought of something is there a certian potato that is the best for shooting? I always buy them for the price. Or are they all about the same? Sorry for getting off the subject but i was just wondering.

Oh, this is funny... when i said that Idaho was better, i was just kidding because it is the potato capital of the world :D . However, the denser a potato the better. That is very true... oh, and usually supermarkets like Savemart have really big bags of Potatoes that cost maybe, uh, $2. Well, thats usually 12 per bag! Great price i'd say, and thats here in sunny California.

i get 50lbs of russets for about 5 bucks at a farmer's market, i like using russets over the others, they seem more solid, and putting a slight taper on the inside of your muzzle knife can really improve distance, i just shaved away a little bit with my pocket knife (went around 2x) and the spuds went noticeably farther

but scince the time I lost my potato garden,
my tears refuse to dry
