I will do what I can to save one if it gets in my fenced yard. It's not because I'm fond of spiders but they take care of insects. I will kill most other spiders but not teranchulas. Scorpions, dead on sight. We've got these very very very small ones around us. They're so small you don't think they are scorpions but they are and get into everything. 3

Air Gun Gate / Re: How often do you clean your barrels?« Last post by airgunaut on Today at 02:06:23 PM »Keeping tabs on accuracy would be simple if all I did was shoot with the gun on a rest (or two of them: front and rear), indoors or in another sheltered area.
I’m also still puzzled by different instructions from manufacturers. The Daisy lady told me in no uncertain terms to just start shooting the 880 without cleaning the barrel. She also said they don’t recommend anything more later on, other than running a dry patch through (harmless). The one time I did that was when I disassembled the gun to replace o-rings, which occurred after more than 5200 pellets fired through it. The patch showed only the expected lead residue, no visible contamination, and no bits or chunks of anything. So I’ll just trust the advice to not bother until a noticeable drop in accuracy happens. The word “noticeable” being subject to the question of bench supported or not. Yet the Beeman pamphlet clearly stated that the P3 should be cleaned BEFORE shooting it. Because I didn’t yet have the Patchworm or patches, I just shot it anyway, ordered the cleaning items, and cleaned the barrel after maybe a couple hundred shots. And wow, the Ballistoled* patch dredged up not only lead residue but also a tan-red grease. After a few more Ballistoled patches and subsequent dry patches, the grunge was removed. However, given that all my shooting of that gun had only been offhand standing, there is no way I could assess whether cleaning improved the gun’s precision. Two days ago I cleaned the P3 barrel for the first time since that initial cleaning. Probably at a little under 2500 pellets since then. The Ballistoled patches came out with just lead residue on them. The last two or more times I shot the gun were either offhand standing or sitting with elbow on bent knee (or both elbows on bent knees). There were some flyers but it could well be Just Me anyway. I’ll keep leaving things alone unless a big degradation occurs. * The Beeman rep said Ballistol was OK to use for that purpose. 7

Back Room / Re: Good morning! Are you up yet? What's your plans for today?« Last post by Blowpipe Sam on Today at 01:42:49 PM »Afternoon y’all. Well the great vacation trip was a bust. We made it as far as Gainesville but the motorhome wouldn’t start yesterday morning. I called Mercedes and read them what the diagnostics on the dashboard said. They said under no circumstances drive it and have it towed to the nearest Mercedes dealership. Do you know what it costs to tow a motorhome? There went our vacation money. Now we’re waiting for the other shoe to drop. How much will Mercedes charge us to fix it?
We’re home safe. The dogs are happy! 9
