I suspect that the "FFF" Harpy referred to is the Florida Folk Festival. There seems to be dissension brewing over changes in the way musical participants are chosen. Fortunately for me, my official participation now is as a crafter so I don't have to worry about it. I still get to play as much music as I want, but I don't have to be at a certain place at a certain time to do it.

Of course, that all has zilch to do with salad shooters. But I do have a serious salad shooter question:

What size shot should I use for shooting endive with a 12 gauge shotgun? I've been using 7½ for iceberg lettuce and radichio. Do you think the 7½ would still be okay or should I move up to something a little huskier? I was even thinking about rifled slugs. It seems a bit like overkill, but it'd be a lot easier to dress. Picking birdshot out of lettuce ain't much fun and you can damned sure break a tooth on any that you miss.
