Yes. I'm becoming a connoisseur of toothpicks, much in the way Yourdaddyjoe knows cans. The maple ones are easy. You can't just wing a bamboo toothpick, oh no. You have to smash them dead on to get them to break. Flat-nosed (i.e., "wadcutter") pellets are best, because of the "hammer" effect. A broom is essential, also. "She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed" did not accept the "Why don't you wear shoes?" defense when her bare feet found the pointy remains. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Mon Apr 20, 2009 4:25 pm Crosman140 Senior Member Joined: 13 Dec 2008 Posts: 663 Location: USA heh, I'm giggling. _________________ My Critter Gitters .22 Crosman 140 (1955) .177 Crosman G1 (2009) .177 Crosman 1377 (2009) .177 Daisy 880 (2019) BB Daisy Red Ryder (2012) BB Daisy Buck (2019) BB Crosman 1600 (1980) BB Marksman 1010 (1979)   Posted: Tue Apr 21, 2009 2:01 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Slavia wrote: A broom is essential, also.

Only tghe ones made in China, you say? Check. Maybe I could line them up behind a 2X4 so only head shots are possible. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Tue Apr 21, 2009 9:04 pm TONBON Veteran Member Joined: 02 Jan 2009 Posts: 468 from how far away are ya'll killin' these soldiers?   Posted: Tue Apr 21, 2009 9:21 pm ThatGuy Member Joined: 25 Feb 2009 Posts: 68 Location: nor cal TONBON wrote: from how far away are ya'll killin' these soldiers? 35 yards.... theirs body parts every ware,its fun shootin.   Posted: Tue Apr 21, 2009 10:06 pm yourdaddyjoe Supporting Member Joined: 26 May 2008 Posts: 4027 Location: Tatorville, USA Just make sure they are not too rubbery/flexable... It takes several hits before they come appart... The harder the plastic... the more dramatic the kill! Dollar Tree carries them.... _________________ Say "NO" to BB Gun Wars...

And Crosman140 wrote: Quote: Could or would? heehee Thanks for the compliment. Sure, I would try to "dial in" anything I pick up. Sometimes I'm successful, but just to come clean - I have failed several times. For example, there is the Pioner 2: http://www.airgunhome.com/agforum/viewtopic.php?t=1233&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 And then there was the nadir of my addiction last Christmas when I wrung an astounding 1.57 extra FPS out of a nerf gun: http://www.airgunhome.com/agforum/viewtopic.php?p=21820&highlight=nerf#21820 The Waseca Sportsmen's Club has a 12-step plan for this kind of addiction - it's 12 steps from the car to the firing line. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!
