they finally showed up here, been waiting for them. Sent lots of bbs through my Daisy 35 at 25 yards, I felt like it would be a solid hit, or a complete miss. My sparrow sized target I have been practicing on, 25 yards with bbs! Three pumps, 5.1gr - 433 fps, 2.12 fpe at the muzzle.
1 shot, 1 kill, 24 yards.
I have taken starlings and hosp with this gun using pellets in the past, first starling with a bb out of it.
