    So your arms are falling off are they rolleyes1.gif ya dag.
    I know what you mean, those bugs are usually in the most awkward spots that you have to get yourself into really odd positions to be able to shoot them.

    8 ft off the ground is still too high for me hahaha, I'd be almost 12 inches to short for that reach :D

    You did great with all your stretching to get this lot thumb.gif ... Skippy
