I made a mansized targets and at 25yds I would hit all over the place. I did better at just pointing and shooting than actually trying to aim. I myself was severly disappointed. I would love to come across someone I know that has the Ruger version and shoot that for a bit to see if I like it. Because if Cabela's standard to quality was the same as the old west lord helped them boys survive not the accuracy of the firearm. I hung mine on a wall and it has never left the wall since. I even used pre made wadding to help uniform the powder charge. Loading them is a bust too. I would get a loading block next time. It sounds fun but it looses it fantasy fast or did for me.
