Hi you all, neccessity is the mother of invention, and if you can't talk anyone else around into flying some combat, just go down to the local gift shop, florist or party store and pick up some helium filled balloons for some solo action. I have paid anywhere from .80 to $1.00 each for the latex kind. explain to the salesman what you are using them for and they might give you extra helium. I can get one to hover with 25' of light string if the wind is light, if the wind is stronger just add more balloons. I like to time myself to see how quickly I can score. Club combat could work this in to the scoring with a little imagination. How about your score from the round doesn't count unless you also pop a balloon?

Hey Im a zagi nut[>:] and recently I have began combating mine with my uncle. so for balloon practice I maybe could temporarily tape a golf tee to the front of mine to pop it with and remove it in combat...will that work

HI WH, give it a try. The balloon idea needs to be done on a calm day.I think you would be better off using bamboo skewers.

Hey thanks a lot. I need the practice he always wins[:@] anyway....thnaks again...

I'm lucky our club has a bottle and I can fill ballones any time I want. If you want to have fun set one free when a bunch of good flyiers are in the air the egos garentee close contact

Hi CAVERJOE If I was AMA PRESIDENT, I would make it manditory that all clubs have helium in the club house, as well as a fresh supply of balloons
