Re: FOOMP

Yes it is. Quiet shots are optional :D Hoping to take it with me on my brothers boat some day.. Open water..no spectators.. Old school fun. Brings back memories of his "Chappy" launcher..had a lot of fun with that. I borrowed his idea for the extension. This one is bite-sized in comparison :wink:
