Shot a big black bear out the kitchen window with mine

a year or so ago. It was visiting the deer's corn. I didn't mind it getting a snack but thought I would encourage it to not stay around. First shot he took off like a greyhound. Stopped at about 40 yards. I lobbed another BB deep into his vitals, but it only penetrated th hair. He didn't stay around.

Put a little anti-seize on the large threads of the loading tube. Mine sort of galled and was seized up and after a while I had to use channel locks to unscrew the mag tube. Also drill out the peep hole some.

I remember when we were kids the ones who had the Daisy pump were better shots for some reason than us with Red-Ryders.
