sighted in at 100 feet, and use it quite effectively..
Your municipality might have an ordinance against air rifles, tho
so you need to make sure. However, they make VERY little noise
when they fire, so if you are discreet, you can probably get away
with it anyway....

So you're a coward... hope someone pellets your eye out.
