AAA Gunner was a "Tough Job"! My wife's Daddy manned up a mount as his General Quarters Station aboard his ship in WWII. Pacific Theater and Japanese Bee's!

Yes! I went out and bought a red rider a few years back specifically for the same purpose. Lots of fun.

Thanks guys.
Its much easier to hit them without holding the IPhone & aiming the Red Rider at the same time.

I wonder if they make shot shells for 22 cal air guns…

I'v heard of folks inserting a felt cleaning pellet in the chamber then dropping a pellet weight charge of #12 shot down the muzzle. Never tried it. Don't know how effective it would be.

when i was a kid, i wondered why they could not make a guided missile to shoot horseflies and flies down... lock it on, and fire

Talking about horseflys:

As kids in Uriah, we’d stick a pine straw in a horse flys butt.
Point it up and let it go. It would fly straight up clean out of sight.

Called them Alabama Bottle Rockets.

I use a single shot .410 with 2&1/2” 9shot… works every time…

Sounds costly, yet fun….

 

[Plinker]

I’m gonna give it a try.
Just loaded some #10 in 2 1/2” with the MEC.

The suspense is terrible,
I hope it last.

I wonder what the effective range of that would bee.....

Unknown………
The known is that if that pest hovers for a second or two at less than 20 yards, I’m gonna send him to wherever vaporized carpenter bees go.

 

[Mullet Hunter]

Man I want a 410 loader setup bad…think8ng I might swap a 12ga mec 600 over. Those #10 should do the trick just don’t hit the house…

Mullethunter,
Got a box of #10 with your name on it.

Lets go to war.
