Bee Baine/ I'm crazy

[Shorty]

Yesterday, two bees, five shots, and one of those was a cripple that I had to stomp!  Shameful, lousy shooting!  I've GOT to do better! :oops:
Today, patrolling the house, inspecting the painting job (I'm paying my daughter and son-in-law to do that, 'have to feed them and babysit as fringe-benefits).  Single Six strapped on, five shot loads.  The down-spouts are down, exposing old bee holes.  I know that THEY return to old holes, so I get out the oak doweling, cut plugs, and press them into the holes.  Now, I need a hammer to seat them.  That's way out back in the shop.  Well, in the old westerns they tacked up many a wanted poster with the butt of a pistol, so... :roll:   Yep, I'm crazy. :wink:

A few years ago, I was a pretty serious paintball player. I would play with a group every sunday for about 8 months. I would by a case of paint (2000 paintballs), and get my Co2 tank filled on friday night / saturday morning. I would shoot a little over half of the paintballs on sunday, and use up 1 of my airtanks. This would leave me with about 500-900 paintballs, and a full tank of Co2 for the rest of the week. To stay practiced up on my shoting, I used to go to my wifes parents farm, go out to their barns and sheds (they dont keep animals), and wait for a bumblebee to hover in the air for a second. It was great practice for snap shooting (which is shooting instinctively with no prior warning of the target being available). I got to the point that I could hit one with about 3 or 4 shots on average, and it would knock 'em down good.
