This is the time of year when it's acceptable to put one of those animatronic Halloween things on the porch that react to movement...just be sure to film them shitting their pants when it goes off
I asked a few people that like visiting my chickens and say shit like "I'd love to have chickens"...but, alas, when I give them an easy solution they fold. Smh. I tried to help. Good luck.
Mine have held up well. As for effectiveness, they attenuate 12ga 3.5" turkey loads to comfortable levels.
My fav story after I got these was shooting at the wma outdoor range up by lula. I could hear everyone talking shit about how loud the brake was on a WASR. It was a helluva noise that came...
