Good Points

Everything about this air rifle is good. The power is unreal for a pellet gun. The accuracy is also unbelievable. With that rifle, I can out shoot most guys with a 22.

Bad Points

I don't like that you can't mount a sling. Also the two stage trigger. When adjusted, there wasn't that much of a change. But still a very good rifle.

General Comments

I bought my Shadow about a year and a half ago. I have put over 10000 rounds through, see I have an 11 foot burmese python that likes to eat. My neighbors don't like the Idea of me shooting rabbits and squirrels with a .22 so I went out and bought a Daisy 1000. It was an "ok" air rifle. It was very loud, and the recoil was so bad that it was near impossible to keep a scope sigted in. So I traded it in, got my money back got to looking around and found the shadow for just a little more than what I had paid for the Daisy. So I figured why not. I got went out zeroed in the sights. And immediately I loved it. The same day I went out and shot over half a dozen squirrels. And that night a rabbit. But it is a very nice rifle, and I would recommend it to anyone. Derek

    Hey can i please ask what pellets are you using?

  2. Derek West Rank: Corporal on 20th Jul 2007

    Yeah, uh, I'm using Premier Hollow point. And also, If I'm hunting anything larger, or if it is at longer range, I use the Gamo Raptors. They are the ones that are "real gold" But I think they cost around 10 for 100 of them at walmart. So yeah, good luck.
