I made a slingshot last week to use on the raccoons that keep emptying my trash can. Guess that is not much compared to your new raccoon-shooter, but at least I can use mine without the neighbors calling the cops. [8D]
That is such a nice looking handgun! How cool! I have always liked Berettas, and that looks like it is keeping up their standards! If you ever want to visit, bring your gun and we'll go shooting!
