Maybe I need to pick the ball up and run another group buy. I think F5 still does the 5 for 4 deal. Off to check into it..... Check with Mygrainman He might have one to sell. I know he's listed them off and on here

I rechecked his ad, the price is a lot more than a group buy would be from F5. F5 @ $159 x 4, ÷ 5 = $127 + tax is a good bit less. But only if people get interested.

Well, I have 1 or 2 guys at work that are interested, so I emailed F5 to ask for confirmation of pricing. And I asked if they would do the 5 for 4 on the golf ball launcher to match. We'll see what I hear!

I'd be in for a golf ball attachment
Already have the can cannon
Scratch that
It looks like the can cannon has to be threaded for the golf ball launcher. I don't think mine is

Nope, yours and mine are the old style that are not set up for the golf ball. I asked Jeff about it and he said they cannot retrofit ours to work.

I heard from F5 and confirmed that the 5 for 4 deal is good on any can launcher, we just have to order 4 of the same type, and they'll ship 5. The deal does not apply to the golf ball adapter, so those are an extra $20 each. The cheapest option is the basic can launcher for $159. They have a new deal that was just posted this week I think, and it's their newest can launcher with a picatinny rail mounted underneath (for a foregrip), and it comes with 50 blanks, for $179. The blanks are normally $35 for 50, and you get the rail. I'd vote for that option, and I have 2 buddies from work already on board. So I only need 2 people to join, and will start with CavVet and bearhunter99, if you're still interested. Travis1565, you're on deck if either doesn't join. They offer free shipping, so with tax the total is $786.88. Split 5 ways is $157.38. If you want the golf ball adapter it would be about $22 with tax. If all 3 are still interested, I'll consider doing a second batch and will open a thread in the Group Buys section to coordinate. Here's a link to the F5 page for the various launchers, if you're interested: https://f5mfg.com/products/can-launchers/

I haven't heard back from anyone but CavVet yet, so I potentially have one spot open on our first round. I was going to wait until this evening to give them a chance to reply. I may go open a thread in Group Buys this evening.

Alright, alright, alright, it's on! Heard from headhunter, so we have our 5. In a perfectly hilarious coincidence, I was gifted a large tub of golf balls today by another WaGu member. So I'll be including 25 golf balls for those that buy the attachment - 4/5 so far.....
