| Well, my first cold bore shot was a clean kill with the cx4. With the fresh paint on her, I got a shot at a bird at an unbelievably close range, 5 yards! It looked like a big target even in open sights. It was staring intently at me, and I honestly think it was mesmerized by the rifle....er probably not. But it did sit still long enough for me to squeeze off a well aimed shot through its center of mass. It was a broadside shot and it went in one armpit and out the other. Did a small jump forward on its back, but it was done. Still the same original co2 cartridge many shots later, and it still has enough power to spit those rockets out there to get clean, close range, kills. But the moral of the story is that the digital camo on my rifle might actually work! |

It just keeps on killin'. I just shot another seed stealer at about 10 yards. Was using raptors this time. The bird ducked on my first shot and it went right over its head. It didn't startle the bird but it confused it long enough for me to take aim on it a second time and fire a follow up shot. This time it was right on the mark. Instant kill.
I finally capitalized on the semiautomatic feature and used a quick second shot to get a kill. Since I switched to raptors, I can increase the velocity of the shots even as the co2 weakens. They won't have the same knock down power as lead, but on a small bird at close range they are lethal if they hit the vitals. |

| What kind of accuracy are you getting out of the Raptors (Rat turds)? |

| I'd only shoot raptors in co2 guns, not springers. They seem to be as accurate as lead. |
