25.5 fpe @ 65yds…I was blown away at the power…
I, for some reason, thumbed my nose up at anything less than 35fpe because I had no idea how much knock down power that was at longer distances…Well today I shot some Beeman Kodiaks at some pellet tin lids at 65yds with a muzzle fpe of 25.5 and I could not believe the amount of force that was still left at 65yds….I would say it is more than enough for any small game at that distance and possible 10-20 yds further….After going through the pellet tins, the pellets were buried in treated pine that has been sitting outside for over a year. It was not soft. I could see these shots going straight through any small game at this distance…

Shoot a kodiak across your chrony 100 yards away. You’ll be surprised.
Wow!…The lack of muzzle report really disquises the amount of power these things have….I guess I am relating the power level to the amount of sound I am hearing and those 2 things just don’t relate….
The advances that have been made in airguns just blows me away…6 months ago I though my Benjamin pump was the badest thing on the market….I hadn’t been paying any attention to what was going on…..WOW!
If that’s hard for you to believe, my Air Arms TX200, which puts out 18 fpe with 14.3 CPs will still shoot the pellet through a half-inch plank from a pallet at 50 yards.

I was messing around in the backyard over the weekend and was able to cut
an old 4″ by 5/8″ birch plank in half @ ~30 yds using Predator .22 Cal, 16.5 grn
Polymags. It took several shots (I counted ~25, but it may have been closer to
30), but I got’r dun. 😉
The spent pellets continued on and embedded 1/8″ into an 8×8 fence post 5ft
or so behind the plank; and I’m shooting low power settings with a Talon valve
setup (not the condor)!
The power is very impressive, IMHO. Can’t wait to get out hunting and draw
first blood with it. I’m assuming it’ll be a pass-through shot. 8)
