Good out to 100 yards, ... that's pretty tough for today's air rifles.

Awesome weapon...there is one at the US Army's Heritage and Education Center (AHEC) in Carlisle, PA where we play a few times a year. I have seen it and have seen it shot. It IS unreal!!!!! I must check, but I believe it's the original.

Life's journey is not to
arrive at the grave safely
in a well preserved body,
but rather to skid in sideways,
totally worn out, shouting
'...holy sh*t ...what a ride!'

I'm kind of a Lewis & Clark fan, and knew they had one with them, but had no idea it was "quite like this" - impressive, VERY.

I, too, had read about the Lewis and Clark air rifle, but also had no idea what it was or the power it had.

That is fascinating!

A pretty good site for Lewis & Clark - in case anyone wants a few minutes (or more) of interesting reading.
