    I've got some Winchester Supreme Elite Extended Range Hi Density shells, 12 g., 3 1/2", 1 5/8 oz. #2 shot shells, if you ever want to "reach out and touch someone." These are the old time full tungsten beads. I can't believe they discontinued them. I took a gobbler at 63 yds with the #5's. Dropped dead in his tracks.

    Speaking of flitting creatures-
    Holly wood touched on it in Men in black- where the movie opens up with a dragonfly flies haphazardly about, and eventually smacks into the windshield of a van transporting illegal a-liens... The Men in black show up moments later...
    Neat perspective if you ask me...

    They perform even better. As an aside, these used to be the bomb for turkey. However, Winchester decided to discontinue these and go to the XR HD Turkey buffered loads in turkey shot sizes (#4-6):( I just don't get it.

    If someone was flying one harmlessly over the house, I wouldn't mind at all, but if they came in low and hovered around, checking things out and lurking, it would come down, right quick.

    We have always had some low flying aircraft around here. There is a fellow that has one of those open ultra lights. Another used to fly hot air balloons, then there is a chopper that flies really low inspecting the power line. All of these are folks obviously just recreating or working. No problem there. Just don't care much for something hovering above with a camera checking things out. Unless they come under some regulation, we are going to have to get use to it. They are being sold as toys on Amazon.
    Sophisticated robotics are here to stay.

    I had a monster one welded from some p91 pipe with SS barrel - it was louder than any firearm I've ever shot.
    Gave it to a buddy when I moved to an apartment in VA:(

    Could even rig a potato gun to launch a small net/strings to mess up the rotors.
