The first deer I ever shot with it was a whitetail on the Blackwater NWR , she was a lasered 135 yards . Shot her behind the shoulder and she perhaps made it 20 yards after the shot .

I would say I'd be comfortable with that gun to perhaps 175 ish yards . I tried it at a metallic silhouette at 200 meters and was able to hit it . But that was from the bench and I also wonder about the energy out that far .
