well to start off the past couple days ive been just playing around with my air cannon in my basement, no the ball did not hit me in the head this time thanks God, but i found a strong canvas tarp to put up in my basement to stop the balls, which was working just fine!!!! First i found a piece of plywood, and was putting balls threw that like butter, so then i moved up to an old table and put balls threw that,and next moved up to an old solid pine door, and put a good amount of balls threw that and let alone did i not know but the spilinters put a hole in the tarp , so i go to shoot a ball and it went threw the door , threw the hole in the tarp bounced off the concrete wall at a good angle to bouce and go threw my new renevated porch, my mom and dad comes out, yellling what the hell was that, i said , im just shooting my golf ball gun, and dad yelled ball went threw the porch!! i yelled no it didnt, well i came up and there was a huge hole in the floor of the porch ,and he did not notice the small dent in the roof,

my dad said boy you got work to do , and patch that back up, i did, i put the pieces back in and putty it up and sanded it , looks pretty good,


then my dad says, i wonder if that gun will put holes in my truck door???
i said ok , he said no ideas but nice gun to do that much damage!!!!!

and walked away laughing thank God he didnt order for me to be castrated!

You're trying to shorten your lifespan aren't you? :roll: Sounds like you might have to find a new place to shoot before you end up being the target :lol:

I don't know where some of you guys get the balls to shoot golf balls inside concrete basements :lol:

One of the good things about being safety concious is that when you actually fire the gun, you get a big release of adrenaline because you've just spent the last 5 minutes going over all the things that could go wrong in your head before deciding "f*ck it, lets just do it" :D

Well who would ever think that sharp pointy splinters could poke holes through woven material? After all, that has never happened before...
