Can you hunt squirel and small game but from ok distances

No, has poor penetration which requires multiple shots, and mostly it's not accurate.

Yes, but it requires PERFECT shooting for a penny sized kill zone. Otherwise squirrels will run. Heart/lung shots are not acceptable for humane kills.

I can verify that it is DEADLY for squirrels.I personally have 'taken care of' at least 40 who thought my backyard bird feeders were for them.I have it sighted in for EXACTLY 70 feet... without the scope, and more often than not, the squirrel is no longer an issue. :)

I killed a half-grown groundhog from about twenty feet away. Hit him right behind the foreleg, he jumped straight up, ran about twenty feet and stopped dead.

I have been able to see across my yard but that's only 50ft, I don't know what range the viewer has to be able to help you during hunting but I think you will be able to see a large animal at a few hundred ft.

No it cannot, its just a pellet gun. You can however use it for small game such a rabbit, squirrel and pigeon.

At close range, sub 20 yards. I'd not try a racoon or possum though, unless you are ok with shooting it several times as if slowly dies.

Sure you can, but hunting would be a different story. Using smaller swivel blind chairs would be better. If you are just observing then have at it.

Hell yea! You can hunt anything with it even a Grizzly Bear, but after you piss him off with a little pellet RUN because the Grizzly is going to eat you.

Absolutely, you can point it at pretty much any target and get a distance from where you are. Any hazards or spot on the course you want to get a distance to you can just point and click.

Not really. This is more for judging the distance of bigger game like deer. When you're shooting a rifle, the bullet drops at a particular rate so knowing the distance is paramount. The same holds true with archery. If you're off on your on your archery distance by 10-12 yards, you'll shoot higher or lower than your intended target. Squirrels and rabbits are typically shot with a shotgun within 50 yards. You won't need a rangefinder for anything shotgun related.

This weapon is shooting a piece of metal at approximately 460 feet per second and if you have the ability to shoot this straight and true and no further away than 30 feet I would have to say yes. The problem is that this is a pellet gun with just very little rifling in the barrel. The pellet won't travel straight for too long of a distance. You would have to be extremely close to the target and really know your weapons ability before even considering the chance of hitting let alone killing the animal. Can it kill? YES from a distance? NO. Would I use it to small game hunt? NO! Hopefully this is helpful. Thank you and enjoy your weapon.

Depends on the game? Small game like squirrels,rabbits,raccoon's,and birds.Yes! Medium to large game like pigs,boars,deer,bears,and humans.No!Its accurate as is at 25 yards with a scope or red dot 50-75 max.If your looking for something to hunt small-medium game i would suggest Benjamin Marauder .22 or equivalent .22 or higher P.C.P.(precharged pneumatic) rifle. Any questions dont hesitate to ask? Sincerely,Mr.Vreeland-AkA: (The Stach) ;})

Not sure on FPS. More of a target shooter than a hunter, could kill a rabbit for sure but not a deer.

If you like hunting, yes. If you like the flexibility of being able to hunt anyplace that you can walk to instead of wherever you have tree stands, yes. If you prefer quality to cheap imitation, yes.

Damion, Accuracy and range are comparable to any 150 pound crossbow on the market. Ethical range to hunt an animal is 30-40 yards, I would recommend 30 yards, which this bow can handle. As far as accuracy goes, it all depends on the shooter and how much they practice with their weapon. It will get the arrow where you need it to go, just make sure to practice with it.Best, Bruce

it could hunt small to very small game. and the darts are a couple inches long and very sharp. fly perfectly unless damaged.

I believe you can use the Firbolts as is and they might even shoot better then your arroows with half moon nocks.Check out this article to be sure:http://www.archerytalk.com/vb/showthread.php?t=578485

Maybe at close range with the right pellets. I personally never point guns at any living creatures. I highly recommend getting a 50 pack of Shoot and See. Much more fun than a barrel of squirrels.

Idk bout bow hunting but I would advise getting this rangefinder for that purpose get something more advance, it will worth it in the end truth me
