RE: "Backyard control"
Yah, a 177 pellet over 1000 fps. By way, that is a hunting rifle and needs to be treated like one. One of my co-workers was hit by a package like this. Ended up in the hospital ICU for a stretch. If you are town shooting, I sincerely recommend you use a spotter to make sure noone blunders into your trajectory while your attention is on target and trigger pull.
