yes it supprised me with the Round ball and Single Pyrodex pellet, and we tried that close at a target I had zeroed in with and it was hitting perfect, so we started shooting at our 133 yard paper plate. ( we measured that distance with a Bushnell Backtrack) and were able to hit the plate, a little low in the bottom of the plate but still accurate hits.
And the recoil was mild. ive got several projectiles to experiment with this would be fun. Anyhow, I apreciate the kind responses.
