    .45 Round Ball Water Test

    Round balls is really all you need. Remember someone or some company are trying to sell you something that you don't really need. Bigger and better, new improved and cost more

    .45 Round Ball Water Test

    I do similar test with my BP guns. I found that less is better and just as powerful. Most people have no ideal of the power of Blackpowder

    Yes Epsom salt is great for all plants . I also take the banana skins put them in a bucket with water let soak for 2 to 3 weeks then pore on ground around the pepper plants. The love the potassium.

    Gardening Round2 Deer problem

    I have used Irish Spring soap and had good results. Hanging bars of this type of strong smelling soap close to the plants and around the garden has worked for me. I've drilled holes in the bars then put a string through it and hung servel on the tomatoe basket, high and low. Used mess type bags...

    I bought mine for crow hunting. That and a recording of a owl fighting with crows would bring in near by crows. Only time that owl Halloween decoration worked for anything.

    I'm trying that and something less this time . The plastic trash barrel worked ( got dirt cheap at a auction) got to make sure vines don't hang down to the ground though. Yes it's a lot of extra work. Probably could buy at store cheaper, but what fun is that?

    I think and hope Indiana doesn't have gophers ,at least not like the ones out west have. These mice have another name because how big they are. I call them field mice. I kill them daily in the spring and summer. Kill them weekly in the barns. For some reason there are no snakes around, stray...

    Gardening ..again

    I can't plant potatoes or sweet potatoes in the ground because of mice. First time I grew sweet potatoes, planted in rose like they said to do they were big but mice got them first. Last year planted them in 32 gal. Trash barrels and it work pretty good. Even did it with regular potatoes.

    2024 cap update, bad and the bad

    I just saw these at Rual king in Kokomo indiana yesterday. Have no ideal if they could work on a real BP gun. Would have bought some to try if I had a need for caps or had some kid to give them to if they didn't work

    I have grown them for several years here in Indiana. They do get big and are tasty. We don't think they are high in acid. The one big problem with heirloom tomatoes is when they get close to being ripe pick them then , they over ripe real fast and go bad. Second is the plant dies early .

    I read that baking soda is great for gardening and a organic bug killer. Epson salt is great for pepper plants and asparagus.

    .36 Colt Navy that powerful??????

    one big problem with people having those big powerful guns for home defense is where will that bullet go and how far if you miss. Who might actually be shot or killed. What would happen to you if that bullet killed or wounded a innocent person?

    Home defense black powder shotgunhome defense black powder shotgun

    I'm not sure, but the one of the main reason for coming up with smokeless powder was to do away with the smoke, not because of lack of power it produced . No matter how hidden you thought you where after you started shooting everyone knew your hidding spot .
