Sitting out back the other night I decided to have a gun ready for the Chippers.
Not needing a .30 RainStorm or anything like that? I had to decide amongst many different guns.
It was only 15 yards max.
So I pulled the RPA out and loaded a 13 grn JSB and gave it 4 pumps.
Now this one has peep sights and I figured I'd be lucky to hit the side of the shed.
I set a Coors cap about the size of a quarter out near the shed, sighted in, and pulled the trigger.
The cap did an immediate disappearing act almost instantly!
NO WAY! I thought so went to look at it. Sure enough I'd hit it on the edge and what damage it did surprised me!
A few more test shots at 4 pumps and the peep sight means Chippers are doomed if they come back around!
Last night I took a wild guess at hold over to a 43 yard steel plate with 4 pumps.
Got the ding and a ricochet sound!
Got to love an old rifle that shoots that danged good!

I didn't say I was good at it.
The peep sights and shorter range are out of my normal.
But it is a very accurate and powerful Gun for it's age!
