im sure it causes some drag but i can live with drag better than keep buying gb's.
Easy to find golfballs
Its so easy to loose golfballs where i live, the grass and weeds are too high way out there where the gb's land so i attached streamers with a wood screw. i'm sure alot of u have done this but i wanted to bring up the subject for those that havent thought about it.

- the yellow is plastic ribbon i got at the dollar store, it works the best. was 16 feet long by 2.5" wide for one dollar. i split it in half cause 2.5" was too wide so i ended up with 32 feet.

- nylon like this is not that good to use, its just too heavy but it still travels a long way.

Great idea, but if you don't like to buy golf balls, just go to a golf course and take a swim in the water hazard
It's hard to soar with eagles when you're working with turkeys.

I actually made a deal with the course I golf at. I can go poke around in the weeds and water hazards and collect balls, and then I can shoot on their wide open fairways (they don't let people start after 5:30 on Sunday afternoons, by 6 I can be set up on the tee for hole 2, 270 yards of clear short mown grass 
). It makes an awesome field for shooting tennis balls and golf balls.
Just ask at the local public courses. If you are just going to set up on the tee like me there is no damage to the grounds.

Nice pretty cool looking. Do they make a farty sound when fired? anything with streamers fired out of my cannon fart.
It's all a bunch of tree huggin' hippie crap!

Looking at the picture I just thought of something unrelated:
Where the gap is in the sleaved GB barrel, you could pour wax in to fill up the empty space and improve your prefomance. Bondo would probably work too.
But about the ribbon, good idea. Hit it with some glowing spraypaint to use at night (would probably look like you fired some kind of energy weapon).

I didn't notice the crack before why is that, sdr 21 shouldn't do that.
Is that barrel made up of 2 inch sleeved inside 2 inch?
