For t' B Streamer Spot Landin' contest I had a more serious entry, t' B3S2a. Begad! O' course if I were really serious I would have measured t' distance t' t' target and t' wind speed, run an on-field simulation t' optimize t' nose weight and launch rod angle, and worked from that. Avast, me proud beauty! But I didn't brin' a computer, matey, a scale, or a protractor with me. Avast! Sad. Aye aye! I just threw 50 BBs into t' nose weight container, angled t' lauch rod toward t' target, and hoped. T' club was once again ill prepared for distance measurements so we went by paces, and t' B3S2a came down 4.5 paces off t' target. Arrr! T' second and third place holders (at one point, and I think it stayed this way) were 14 and 15 paces off. Aye aye! I have a feelin' I will never do better t' rest o' this year.
