The first time I entered a competition with it it was raining and the target got wet. Well the board the target was on had large holes on it from previous shooters. As the target became wetter the holes began to show through the target. That's where I thought I was hitting and they were all over the place. Meanwhile I didn't realize that I was holding a pretty good group I just couldn't see the tiny holes. My buddies were making fun of my little rifle asking if "Was that the main charge or was that just the priming powder that went off" They too saw the holes in the board and thought it was shooting wild.
Their attitudes changed when we retrieved the targets and they saw the group.
They're a fun little gun to shoot and hunt with. Mine kinda sounds like a .22 when it shoots.
