I got my bow for x-mas and havent shot it at a live animal yet. So it was in my car when i went to my parents and they have an extreme infestation of chipmuks on their land. So I used them for target practice. I got shots at 6 and lets just say there are 6 less digging holes in my moms flowerbeds and under the pond liner. It was great to see how accurate I was in the field not just at a closed air range.
