    Yes, but it took me a while to figure out where to hold, even though "where to hold" was exactly where the scope told me to hold. So not as many hits as I would like, but was for sure satisfying.

    There is no question that I'm better with a pistol than a rifle. That said, I always figured people were trying to sound macho about hitting stuff at 100 yards with a pistol, but it turns out it's not all that difficult. There was little to no hold over. I found that surprising.

    Powerbelts? I use the aerotip 295 gr with 100 gr of pyrodex and they are pretty accurate

    I was running aerotips, but this last purchase at the store got me powerbelts.
