Never shot.one between the eyes, I always aim between the eye and the ear, was a little low on this one maybe 1/2" and the bugger ran for 20 yards or so. Given the hit and amount of blood I was surprised just how far he went. The hardest part I find when hunting wood chucks is actually seeing them when I have my air gun. Seems they are always out except when I am ready to throw lead their way.
