I had hoped to spend the day at the Range today, didn't work out. I did spend time with a Pack though:

Image Enlarger

The Ryo 8548 Pack, s/n ATK137xxx, purchased NIB in 2007. Date of manufacture identified as 5/17/2007 from a scrap of newspaper in the box

[Image Can Not Be Found]

The interchangeable barrels allow me to configure for gutters and close work,

Medium distance

[Image Can Not Be Found]

and distance work

I reload for this one, the 5.0 liter speedloader is stoked with 92 octane unleaded. Best results to date are with Homelite "Low Smoke Exact Mix 2 cycle oil @2.6 oz/gal

No airflow meter results yet, so no CFM rating available, but with the optional High Velocity nozzle on the 4' barrel, she'll push an 18″ wall of leaves all day long.

Accuracy is good, although the irregularly shaped maple leaves result in some fliers

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Maybe someone will cut some foam for me to fit into a footlocker

BTW-it's running open sights, but I have a MagLite holder on order for night work (the enemy never sleeps)

The noise level of this Ryobi bothered me a little, so the guys at Agway suggested:

Image Enlarger

I gave it a try, but it's still pretty noisy, and doesn't run well now

Oh Well, season doesn't last that long, gotta hunt 'em when and how you can Smile
