Ok, now I think I understand. I have the three inch long jag you pictured above. I'm going to have to get to the store and buy a few more things. The weather is beautiful out and I still can't shoot because I can't get a load of dirt delivered for a backstop. I'm sure they will bring it just in time for all the rain we have coming. Man this is frustrating.
