Yeah, Tom. We both could hit big ole paint cans with it. They were in the mud and water. I liked to shoot low and launch them tumbling thru the air from the shock. It had a 7 3/8" barrel. Its more humane than scaring turtles half to death in the Satilla River. In my ignorant youth, I did that. Those mud turtles would fly up into the air and then smack the water when they came down. God what a stupid redneck thing to do. Was amusing, though.
