F is for Flyshooter

F was going to be something artsy craftsy, like Fabric or Finished Sock or something of that sort, in hopes that y'all would think I was one of those cool bloggers whose life is filled with creative moments.

But we went to Cabella's this morning to get a new arrow rest for Thalia's bow, since she'd been using the cheapy plastic stick-on one, and the adhesive has pretty much given up on life (by the way, the crowd at Cabella's on a weekday morning is interesting, to say the least). And while we were waiting to check out I noticed a display of Flyshooters!



Whoa, I haven't seen one of these for years! I used to have a blue one.

Have you ever seen one? You use it like a gun:



Squeeze the trigger,



and the little white thingy flies off and hits the insect:



Make sure to retrieve the little white thingy, or else you'll just be left with a flat plastic piece that looks like a child's drawing of a gun. And you'll spend years trying to explain to people that it's a Fly Shooter, and trying to describe how it works, and how cool it is.

I can't wait until warmer weather. Look out, flying insects! This spring I'm prepared for you!
