Just got a suppressor the other day for my air rifles- makes a huge difference. If I were gonna depend on pellet rifle for survival I think I’d go with .30 cal and a .45 for large game if food became scarce- plenty of power to take deer and wild pigs.

I bought an air venturi avenger .22 and wow is it accurate. I shoot about 80 yards, and it is very accurate if the wind isn’t blowing too hard. I get a out 110 shots on a fill which is great. My seneca .25 gets only about 40

LOL! I sense the beginning of an addiction.......

One thing is certain, in the world of PCP air rifles, there's a lot of beautiful rifles out there. I'm thinking that my next one might be either an FX MK-III compact or the Brocock Atomic XR like that gal Jessica shoots

I just need to figure out where I can get the money to buy one.....,

Lol me too. Would love the fx, and there are some real nice automatics too.

I bought the .22 for target practicing. The rounds are cheaper, and it gets a lot more rounds per fill, so I can do,a good session without having to refill air. It’s a cheap-ish gun at $340, and reviews were great for the accuracy on them. Thougn they don’t stand up to an fx for real long distance shooting or energy produced.

This,fella does some great reviews on air rifles. He has featured some pretty cool ones. He’s quite a shot too

—”Do you have some instructions about making quilts out of old sweaters? “

The sweaters go in the wash for felting, a fancy word for shrinking. Usually, warm regular to thicken them up, sometimes hot. WARNING! I once used the sanitize cycle; it came out has large dryer balls!!! Forever felted together.

Then the dryer, clean your lint trap!

Cut the sweaters along the main seams. On both sides to remove the seams.

Layout.
The hard part.

I do most of the sewing with a serger (overlocker); straight lines are the easiest. With wool, puckers on curves can usually be worked out with water and an iron.

Make panels of a similar height from the large cuts and sew the small pieces into panels. Trim sides straight.

Our grandkids like the pockets and some buttons left in place. Sometimes a whole front; fill in to make a large panel.

Sew the panels into strips of the desired with.

Sew the strips to make the length.

Trim and bind the edges.

EASY PEASY.

Tastes like chicken. Really. Tried it in SE Asia once.

Check YouTube. Lots of iguana “services” in South Florida. Their burrowing can ruin bridges, and there’s a surprising (to some) amount of agriculture down there.

We were at Las Hades in Manzanillo, Mexico. They have an iguana habitat there. They roam around everywhere. And the ones there are old and huge. They like the pool area and will lay under the recliners by the pool. Didn’t seem to bother anyone else but freaked me out!

You mean 'Las Hadas' not 'Las Hades' - right?

Hades is Hell - and Las Hadas looks actually quite nice - not hellish at all.

Have you seen the video of guys shooting the fetal hogs from a moving truck at night? I think they take out about 70 of them.

No, I havent yet. Sounds amazing, though! Thanks for the tip. I’ll try to track it down.
