Maybe...this is how mine is and seems to be good for me

Slightly less for me maybe 2%! But then again I'm looking to go out 4+ miles. So it would be off pretty far if I aimed it that high. Try it out though Phoenix see what you think

 

[Procharged97]

I'm going to try it db's way....ill probably get out farther lol

Dirk you dont like snakes?? You would have hated this..literally just had to kill this thing..my wife called freaking out..it was next to the door...we get them all the time...sucks

You call that a snake
This one bit me on my snake boot in Texas Turkey hunting .Look at his nose , we ate him that night . Taste like chicken
We always go on snake hunts out there for the rancher and get a lot . Heres a buddy that goes with us with 2 he had got
This one I killed behind my house here in MS. Cottonmouth They mean and you can smell em before you see em .
The one's I am scared of are the ones I can hear but not see .The one you got there looks like a black racer or chicken snake .
The only way to tell a snake is a bad one is by it's eye's .Round you OK but diamond shaped
I kill the ones around the house but if hunting and see one I am in his house and just go around .
Sorry to go OT but seen that and just made me look for those pictures .
A snake will make you hurt yourself most of the time .

That would tenderize it. I was getting out of my car out in the desert and about 5 feet away seen this. I was not going to ask if he was a bad one or not. I would guess about 7 foot long. and yes that is all one snake.

Man from the color it looks like a rattle snake but hard to tell and you did tenderize that one . I shot that other one's head off.
Did that one rattle or what ?

That is what scream the **** I did not know what but knew if it was I was way to close for that size. I hit him close to the head with my .22 and then he would hide his head under his body. I had 10 rounds in the tube. The word HAD.

 

[dirkclod]

Well that's what we call a good en .
Not real sure what you guys have at there but you would have seen those rattles . I still have the ones from that snake
on my turkey tail mount from that trip .

 

[Procharged97]

Lol no way your crazy dirk!!! If its by my house ill shoot it but i wont go hunt them!! I grew up in a city and am still getting used to this "out in the sticks" living. Yes and your 100% right, it was an eastern black racer. Good to know about telling the difference with the eyes

 

[Procharged97]

You got the day off bro! Get the map I'll go to the new spot do something fresh

 

[Procharged97]

All the other spots are worse than my usual place lol....man i kinda wish all the leaves were gone again...the place i liked to go over the ocean is an hour away (i have to stay close to get the kids from school) and now the posted no rc vehicles or aircrafts. It sucks because just a few months ago it wasnt like that...they are slowly getting rid of our spots

 

[dirtybum]

Just be happy to be flying right. I'm going to go for a run right now, even though the winds probably not ideal for it to be a record it's just too nice out here not to fly
