Post by Roy Partin »

Although I am a bit rusty, this is how I use to practice targeting as a child

Great, Roy! Thanks very much!

I haven't done it for years, but I used sometimes to prune my roses with my 12-foot David Morgan! :)

Whoa! We need V grass up here. Robert, Roses need to be pruned with a whip. Serves them right.

That is awesome Roy! We dont keep very much of that grass here for that very reason; the boys keep it cracked off. And any flowers....

I love the camera angle on this video. That first crack certainly got my attention!
I'll give it a try, Dad, but it's going to be really hard...kind of like trying to saw something in half using a banana.

Thank ya'll for watching. That is the seed head of Bahia grass that I am after.
Mr. Robert, you better get busy on those roses.
Rachel sounds like ya'll save gas on mowing and weed eating
Scott, that was my Iphone that I laid down in the grass. Lindsay would have killed me if I busted the screen.

We do :D
Yes she would have, Roy: Lonnie dropped his in the pond about two weeks ago. He is now the proud owner of a newer iPhone.

Roy - That way you can practice your target work all the time :)

Looks fun, but we don't have that kind of grass here.

My wife dropped her iPhone a couple of weeks ago. We both stared at it as it fell, seemingly in slow motion, and then watched as the screen exploded...

Scott,
It is possible to replace the screen if the phone is not entirely busted.

Already done, Ethan. There was no way that the phone could be functional after sustaining the amount of damage that she had inflicted. ;)

That was great Roy. I couldn't really see how big the v-grass was, but it seemed pretty small. Well done.

We don't have such grass here, but most of the time, when it's green and in the garden, I'd better not whip it.
My wife you see, she wouldn't like it.

Robby understands, don't touch the flowers.
Ok, technically grass ain't flowers.
