New favorite toy

[frieed]

So we're heading into fly season. I spend a lot of time outside managing the grill and between the food and the by products of the dogs I have a bit of a fly problem.
Enter the bug-a-salt rifle

Think air powered pump shotgun for flies.
I am ashamed at how much satisfaction this thing gives me.

 

[I Lean]

100% agree. I was given one a few years ago, and now I look forward to the sorry flies that get in my house.

These are legit weapons of war. They are not cheap, nor inexpensive. They are definitely worth it, though. I just bought my second.

I was actually thinking of picking up an electronic paddle this afternoon while doing some reading outside this afternoon.

Which one is better?

 

[I Lean]

Bug a Salt is the better. I have an electronic paddle that has not been touched since acquiring the gun.

 

[Hickey]

Bug a salt by a mile!

 

[Hickey]

I gotta mount the gopro to mine.

I gotta mount the gopro to mine.

That's kind of a great idea. I want to watch that video.

Using the Treager brings the flys in like crazy.... I don't like flys near my food, so I just ordered one.

 

[Hickey]

I'll have to dig through my gopro mounts and see if I can get a better setup. This one won't rotate up to level.

They are also useful with a shot of tequila and a lime wedge....

 

[frieed]

so my bug-a-salt shoots really low, how about yours ?
Also, I got it 5 days ago and in the first two days nailed 40-50 flies each day and now I have a target poor environment. I find it hard to believe I made a dent so I'll write that off to weather/moon phases/better dog turds elsewhere.

 

[Hickey]

I too have experienced the depression that comes when the targets become scarce.

Both of mine seem to shoot pretty straight.

 

[Rock Taco]

I need one of these.

 

[I Lean]

Mine shoots pretty straight as well.
I believe the same company will sell you frozen flies, if you get super desperate.

Mine has been the best birthday gift my lady has ever gotten me. I too have experienced the depression that comes with scarce targets. My two favorites is trying to get the end of the barrel as close as possible before shooting resulting in wicked sweet fly splatter marks, and then the other is asking my friends "why are they so salty today?" to which they respond "they are not" leaving it wide open for a point blank shot to the back of the arm with a "you sure about that?".

I have 2 of these. I like the garden version more because I am a terrible aim, and it is easier to hit stuff with. I need to add a 3rd to my arsenal so I can leave it in my camping rig full time. The one time I forgot it recently, I was swarmed by hornets. I love picking those bastards off with it!

 

[Kevin B.]

I had no idea these things existed. I need one in my life.
