Why shoot a sissy rifle?

Remember M80s? We liked those better than the Cherry Bombs.

I'm probably remembering wrong…..but, were M-80's and "Silver Tees" the same! I only remember that, what we called "Silver Tees" …..sucked when shot from a "slingshot" an incorrect terminology.

It's was many years before the "wrist rocket"……but, I'm not sure what to call it, it's is a very "politically incorrect" term today!

I remember that Dennis the Menace carried one in his back pocket all the time! memtb

I always thought rubber hose water taste was normal!

Cherry bombs out of slingshots were our antiaircraft fire at whatever. I know nobody did that.

Ride no speed bikes for miles without drink holders carrying fishing rod on handlebars with plastic tackle box tied to rear fender top bracket. Nobody had bungy back then.

Team up with friends to shovel driveways and take care of old neighbors.

Team up with friends to mow lawns with 20" push mowers. Runner hose was our sports drink. Nobody cut their foot off.

Very true.
Bottle rocket wars were awsome, dozens in a pipe so you can aim them, kinda like a fire ball and a mini gun in one
Drinking water from creeks and tree stumps
Fun times

Did anyone else play with pure sodium in water?? Or carbide??

We did the bottle rocket wars with 2 kids per team kind of like a WW II bazooka team using 1" pvc pipe and we used trash can lids as shields. No cell phones or cameras....mom had no idea

I couldn't get the "long range" accuracy with them that I could with Cherry Bombs, when fired from - shall I say a "slingshot". Plus…..the Cherry Bombs had a much better BC!


See how I worked this into our Long Range Hunting forum! memtb
