Yes onset again dear friends an neighbors fly season is nearly upon us.
Are you ready? In case you don't know, here are the rules.
All you need is a white sheet a paper, any size'll do. A backstop 50 yards away. A stapler or tape. A steady rest, preferably one you can sit down at. A scoped 22 or 17 caliber rimfire rifle, lots a patience and a steady hand.
You post you piece of paper on the back stop.
Go back to the rest get comfortable and watch through your scope for a fly to land on the paper. Settle your crosshairs on it and squeeze the trigger.
If you hit said fly, there'll be a ring of fly slime around the hole, proof positive you've done your job well.
Things to remember, NO cheating, that would be unfair.
Shoot only at wild or feral (those that have escaped from someones house) flies.
No baiting the flies, such as using rotten fish, or an open can of cat food left in the sun, etc. (see cheating)
"NOT BRAGGING HERE!" Last year my best in front of witnesses was 9 for 11
Try it and let me know how you do. the B
