@freefallI want her to have a shovel in case the snakes show up! At least a rake...
And she's not much of a shopper tho she's a way better story teller than me.
So she just as well stay and dig.
Forgot to tell you the only way that shot with the air rifle was possible was because of modern technology
To get the velocity needed you cock the rifle, insert the pellet and while the action is open give the air chamber a few drops of ethanol and a good squirt if WD40. Close the action and take the shot. The extra lubricants really boost velocity
Problem is my mate was standing about 4 foot to the left of the muzzle and a few feet back. He somehow lit a cigarette at the same time as the pellet and gasses from the lubricants left the muzzle. The resulting flame from ignition of said gasses burnt his eyebrows clean off and singed his beard and moustache. You should have seen the look on his face. He just said man that old BSA sure has some oomph .
TRUE STORY. Would I lie to you
