Now why didn't I think of that? I use my Leatherman to roll the point back on itself, after going through a petal.
That way, It cannot come off that garment.

Hey MyCrosman, did you know that "The poppy was adopted as a national symbol of remembrance at the Prince Arthur Hotel, July 6, 1921."?

Port Arthur, Fort William - Canada's twin cities that amalgamated, became Thunder Bay.

Yup, as the story goes the city name should have been Lakehead but the vote was split. The organizers of the vote put 3 choices on the ballots instead of 2. The choices were Thunder Bay, Lakehead and The Lakehead. The majority of the city wanted Lakehead in the name. "The final tally was "Thunder Bay" with 15,870, "Lakehead" with 15,302, and "The Lakehead" with 8,377."

I guess I should stay "on topic" in the Off Topic section...lol. Great idea Gerry (MyCrosman)! The pellet works a lot better than gluing a .303 British to the pin.

No problem.....I guess there's only so much one can say about a .177 stuck on a pin...lol :D
