One more thing....

As a tender youth, I was hell on my mom's raspberries. It was the red mist. She figured it out real quick. Plump slugs scavenged from the same garden were placed atop a fence post and given a 20 second head start. Match pellets at nearly 900 fps are impressive. Unless you're a slug. If starlings are at the lectern of the Pearly Gates, I'm on the down elevator. Finally, don't ever shoot a golf ball with an air rifle. Especially if you are a good shot. They shoot back....
