#9 shot would do to a Sock Monkey at close range?

Don't know about #9

But #4 shot at 7 yards will put a 2-3 inch hole in it.

Make it pretty worthless as a sock, or a monkey.

Make me damn glad that I wasn't wearing it.

I know you were being serious I wasn't. The TS is already big pissed at somebody on the board for playing around - I don't want him mad at me.



PS - I really meant baby crib. LOL
