well, I never had a deer drop from my 243, even a 30 yard shot. And yes I too have felt like I was tracking a bow shot rather than a rifle shot as I crawled around. But I do think it's a great youth gun, and I meanNO offense to those of you using them, I simply prefer my 7mag now. And my son will be using my 243 in a few years!
