I live on a horse ranch. They do mounted shooting events here pretty often. No bullets, just powder charges. It's a "shooting friendly" city for the most part. There are advantages to living on a 5 acre parcel with neighbors that come over to show you their new guns when they get them
And yeah... close to a grand is about right, she's got a good eye.
I'll look into a big shot. Doesnt sound nearly as fun though =(
Actually, the idea you gave me on the phone, about the scuba tank pressure powered system sounded pretty freaking cool. That wouldn't be as questionable in terms of legality. I need to pick up a shraeder valve for it though. I might switch over to that idea completely, considering the safety factors. I'm still gonna test this thing tomorow though.... lol.
