Eyes go in, not out.  :o  My Uncle was playing with his buddies, after Christmas.  Dumbass friend of his thought it would be cool to shoot at the train running behind the house, danged if that BB didn't smack my uncle in his eye.  Had to get a glass one, I guess he was somewhere around 10 or so. 

I rescued his box of glass eyeballs when I came down to clean up what I could after Katrina.  What in the world does someone do with a box of glass eyeballs?  Though, they really aren't eye "balls" anyway.

I'm sure a few of them are at the store getting some dog food.  What I would give to have a camera and watch the ensuring fun.   :rotf:

Naaaw. Dummies ain't gonna spend their OWN money to help any other creature. More than likely they will march on city hall to enact a tax to feed the starving coyote chiiiiiildreeeeen!!!!

It's the dummie way.

When I was a kid we had Red Ryder BB guns, but souped them up. Out of the box, they were really weak shooters, just half-assed toys.

A couple of friends and I discovered that oil would change all that.

We would squirt motor oil down the barrel until it was oozing out all over the place, let it percolate for a while, then dry fire the gun until just a fine mist of oil came out.

The BB velocity would be at least triple what it was before supercharging. You could shoot through both sides of a tin can, where before the BB would bounce off. Sparrows, starlings, even pigeons paid the price.

I guess the oil caused some rubber seals to swell and contain air pressure better, but don't know for sure. We never tore one down to see how they work.

But I never heard of anyone shooting their eye out.

I recently bought a Gamo breakdown pellet gun, and its power and accuracy are really impressive. No more squirrels on the bird feeder.

I never knew that trick. The first robin I shot with mine I actually had to run down and knock in the head.

It is an honor to be eaten by a coyote. And what is with the gun violence in that DUmp thread?

 :lol:
Good memory. I had forgotten about that thread. Wasn't it about a hawk eating a cat or something?

I think Rebel revived it about a year ago:

No way! No kid with a BB gun has ever shot a songbird.

When I was a child in south Georgia robins weren't viewed by the country folks around here as being songbirds. They were viewed as potential dinner.

Doesn't matter. Half the Canada geese don't migrate anymore either.

Under federal law they're migratory gamebirds.

I don't see doves around here like I used to. Come to think of it, there also doesn't seem to be as many quails.

Doves are as numerous as they used to be, but i do see more hawks circling in the skies.  Never saw hawks here in the 70's, just farther down in southern Illinois.
