September 5, 20187 yr I know I'm not the only one here that has one but it's probably a top 3 greatest things I've ever bought. It's legit, works as advertised. The first thing I grab after I fire up the smoker, or grab a drink and turn the porch light on. Aim for the abdomen if you shoot at a wasp.
September 5, 20187 yr I've got one. Works like a champ. Nothing like wounding a fly and blasting the fucker while it's on the ground. Pretty good at shooting mosquitoes from my leg. Gotta shoot at an angle though. Reminds me - I need to lube the gears.

September 6, 20187 yr Mine must be a dud. I have to fire from point blank (like 3-6") to even disorient a common housefly. It's boring as shit and nearly as useless. Give me an Airsoft any day.

Give me an Airsoft any day. Yeah you got a bad one. That happened with the first one I had. I called them and they sent a new one out for free, no questions asked.

September 6, 20187 yr Author Speaking of wives - they don't respond well to being shot in the foot, even from across the room

September 6, 20187 yr Have one. It is fucking awesome. Kids got it for me for fathers day last year. Use it almost daily as we use our back porch almost daily. Was doing trick shots day one after a few drinks. Good times.
September 6, 20187 yr Mine must be a dud. I have to fire from point blank (like 3-6") to even disorient a common housefly. It's boring as shit and nearly as useless. Give me an Airsoft any day. I had the same experience with mine. I may have to get a new one.
September 6, 20187 yr Love this thing. I'll sit in the pool and wait for the fucking wasps to land to peacefully get a drink and then blast away. You do have to get pretty close for a wasp though.

September 6, 20187 yr You should get some royalties, mine will be here Saturday. That's 2 new orders bc of you

I can see the novelty of shooting bugs outside, but where it's really necessary is inside when you have one of those shitty flies bouncing against a window, but then you've got a salty mess to clean up. I'll take the electric tennis racket thing In that case.
September 6, 20187 yr Author It's a pinch of salt. You won't even notice it unless you only vacuum your floors twice a month

Just ordered Been fighting myself over buying one of these things, so I just pulled the trigger on it. It sounds like it would be a blast, and probably better than shooting the neighbors and their cattle with an AR....like I've heard of others doing😎 Edited September 7, 20187 yr by SHOOTER12
September 7, 20187 yr got this for my birthday from one of my best friends. pretty fucking fun and a big hit when people come over

September 9, 20187 yr Author Absolute massacre this morning. Rained all day and the flies congregated under the porch cover. Made a bloody mary and put a peeled banana on a paper plate on the table in the back patio. Wife sipped her coffee and talked about this, that and something or other while I shot the fuck out of some flies. Looked at the laser guide. Wasn't all that interested until I saw that you can calibrate it, will definitely be grabbing one.

September 9, 20187 yr I have a can of beer with just a bit left in the bottom on the patio table. Nail the little fuckers while they try to climb down inside.
September 9, 20187 yr Brought this up yesterday and turns out my nephews got a few of them as gifts recently and are mailing me an extra for free. Can't wait.
September 9, 20187 yr Original 2.0 or lawn and garden? They warn the lawn and garden can make a mess of fly's, but that sounds sort of awesome.
September 9, 20187 yr Author I think the lawn and garden is just the 2.0 with a different time paint scheme
September 9, 20187 yr How often do you have to use it to salt the earth (a.k.a your yard) to the point that grass doesn’t grow?
