Very kool, I notice you said Slidell Wal-Mart, does this mean you are in Louisiana or is there another Slidell I don't know about. I may convert my bigger pneu for tennis balls, is it a 2.5" or 3" barrel they fit in?

Yes, I live in Louisiana. Covington, to be exact.

2-1/2" SCH-40 is a good fit for tennis balls. They *squish* into it.

I'm not far from Covington, I'm in Loranger right outside of Hammond if you didn't know this place existed. I think we should challenge the rednecks around here with our uber kool spudders(can I say spudder being I've only shot one and it was the little red kind) eh well.

Billy Bob: When someone says: "A long way" or similar:, it usually means one of the following:

1) It goes either so far it can't be seen any more
2) That they honestly don't know how far it went.
3) It's a bit variable, and they can't really give an exact figure.

So, normally, it's not worth asking.
