7.62 NATO at 1000 meters works pretty well

I doubt very many on this board could make this fly. Do you know what kind of drop your looking at with a range like that. About 26 feet if memory serves.

It is quite possible and many young Marines shoot tight groups zat this range in Sniper school every year. As I recall it's not that difficult if you are tought how to shoot properly.


Baclk on topic, someone egged my house a few months ago and I didn't clean it right away because it was up high; it ruined the paint on the hardyplank.

Yahoos were out and about again last night.

Setting off industrial grade fireworks (we have a factory openened up in town that produces the ones you see on New Years etc...despite strick security, items are escaping.

No egging, just splashing peoples houses and fences with flourescent paint.

Update:

Police this morning reported that they had caught two people defacing Ronald McDonald, and associated childrens play area at 1AM with...youguessed it...flourescent paint. (Caught them on the CCTV an hour after closing).

Police suspect that these guys also painted our street that night.

Also caught them on CCTV at 1:30AM smashing a plate glass window.

Caught them and let them go without charges...they are 14, and apparently beyond the law.

Shannow. My old mans an x Copper he would have taken the 14 yr olds around the back of Howards Pyrotechnics put a Rocket up there *** , given em a hiding and sent em home.

Asteroid,
are you sure that you're not stalking me ?

I know a few people up Thompson's Creek Road, and they'd not take kindly to being sprayed with exploding 14 year old.

BTW, what fuel do you reckon they should use in that silly miner's lamp as you come into town ?

JC whitney sells clay for by far the cheapest I have seen. 11.95 + shipping for a container that is I believe 8 oz.
I also use QuickNbrite mixed with water with the clay as a slippy lubricant, any thing that wets and lubes the paint. Water will work but it's better to use something that is more slippery soap etc.

I can attest that it will amaze you on what can be removed from paint or glass........

Good luck I helped my daughter get it off her car and it is a chore!

Tempura paint [artists use it] evolved because of it's durability. It is egg based.
The sooner you can get it off, the better.

Not to nitpick, but "tempura" is actually deep-fried seafood or vegetable pieces. it's Japanese food, well, actually it's originally Portuguese, but let's not turn this into a history lesson.

It's tempera paint!

rescos were done with egg, too I think...they lasted a fair while.

Got it off at the local car wash.

Pre-soaked the egg area, did the rest of the car, pre soaked the area again, soaped the rest of the car, then the egg bit.

Then the foaming brush of fury, blast it off with pressure soap...then during the rinse, it went white, and was easily wiped off with a handkerchief.

Fresco! "Fresco" or "fresh" denotes a painting technique in which pigment in water is applied on wet or moist plaster. "Secco" or dry painting is done on dry plaster and with the pigments in a binding medium, like albumen from egg yolk..
