Glow in the dark? Had no idea! I have an ancient airgun (the one powered 
manually with a spring) and sometimes in the country house, I throw out a 
beer can on the lawn, and take steps away from it to see how far away I 
can get before I miss. That's the only sorry sort of fun you get in europe 
without a license. =(

I always wonder how much better I would shoot with a brand new gun?

Two handed? That's for nerds! In all cowboy movies I've seen it's one 
handed! And drawing is losing time, just shoot straight from the hip. ;)
