Would this take down a large coyote at close range, say, 10-15 yards?

Yes, this is a lethal weapon. It's hard to place a shot exactly where you want it. If you miss the head, or heart lung area, then you are just going to wound the animal. It will probably run away wounded, while you are reloading for a follow-up shot. You can't reload in two seconds.

Yes , this would take down a person with a properly placed shot. I had 3 sheets of Sheetrock and the bolt went all the way through from about 30 yards. If you miss it takes a few seconds to reload though don't get messed up by a coyote haha. I'm very impressed with this crossbow and the price is crazy cheap.

Depending on where you hit it i.e in a critical area, using steel bolts, then yes this will definitely take out a large coyote but if hit in a less crucial area it would take a couple bolts to take one down

I must assume that you aren't really really close to these animals! This gun will not harm them but it sure can piss 'em off. The gun is powerful enough to put out an eye however. If you are trying to run the animals off your property, have at it.

i don't remember so much if they fly the same. but i do remember i got no penetration on the deer and coyote i shoot with them. both shots were under 30 yards. had to track both animals for hours. i don't use them anymore.

I used it on an aggressive dog during a bike ride. I shot the pit bull from a distance of 6-8 ft and it worked well enough to deter the animal.

The pistol at a distance of say 15 ft would most likely kill them. If your going to go farther get a break barrel rifle that shoots at least 1000 FPS.

Definitely. It packs a strong punch and shoots much farther than expected, but the wind can catch the shots. Lots of power. Minimal accuracy. Works best in the 20-40 ft range. If you miss, the shot is going into the next yard.

Yes it will it you hit them in the right spots. Would be really hard to hit a squirrel tho hah. it's a handgun, so hitting small moving targets is difficult. I recommend a gamo pellet rifle for tthat

I have my doubts it would work well on a bear even. It barely stopped an aggressive deer at 12 ft when I used it. But if it does work on bears it would work on a lion in my opinion and all I'm giving is an opinion. From my experience with this product they vastly overstate the range. Instead of 30ft I'd put the effective range at no more that 12-15 ft. But the fact is it's far better than having nothing. However there might be things that would work better but I don't have the experience to know what they are.

I guess if you beat it over the head with the airgun you might. I don't think it is powerful enough to kill anything larger than a rabbit (maybe) or a squirell. I guess you could shoot its eye out and then run over it.

In my experience, this air gun does not have enough power to kill a rabbit unless at extremely close range. It will however serve to chase them away and in worse case, severely wound but not kill the animal.

No. You would have to step up the Marauder .25 for the coyote, but this gun will drop a squirrel, and a rabbit easily.

Not sure, but it will take down squirrels with no problem. I would imagine it would take out a griund hog to. Just use the pellets that break apart on impact to maximize damage.

(From a coyote hunter and owner of this airsoft gun perspective) This airsoft gun is not very loud so chances are that would not scare it off, the coyote may run away if you shoot it with this but chances are it will be back soon, coyotes are on the predator list in some states and i do not know if you live in one of them, but if you do you could just shoot it with a regular gun or a bow, if not you could trap it with a large box trap and let it go somewhere else, but hey if you want it's worth a shot to shoot it with this, good luck.

I have taken down a 240lb White Tail Buck with this , But I used Barnet Bolts !! I think you can take down a Elk with a close up shot ??

50 yards is a long ways for any pellet gun. If you practice holdovers for that range you could keep it on paper. I wouldn't use it on critters at that range. A humane kill should be precise.

I think that it would depend on what ammo you used. I did kill a large ground hog but it took several shots. However, I bought the rife and ammo for smaller rodents such as small ground squirrels. I was told that with a different pellet (e.g.; Crosman 7.9 grain Destroyer) you could easily kill larger rodents like the ground hog, squirrel or raccoon.

This gun shoots 7.9 gr lead pellets right at 1000 fps. That is WAY more power than needed for rabbits, squirrels, and birds, including crows. At ranges to 30 or 35 yards, it is also enough power to kill groundhogs, possum, and raccoon with head shots! Not suitable for larger game like coyote though. And it is VERY lethal if you put the pellet where it should go!
