I own a 675fps with a 9* 35 powered scope. Is this o.k to use at say 15ft or less for squirrel hunting?

First of all, if you need a scope at 15 feet, you better


get your eyes checked. Then again, I really doubt that you


can get within 15 feet by stalking a squirrel. Not unless the


squirrels aren't afraid of people.


What is 9* 35?


That doesn't make any sense.


Also, 675fps from what kind of gun?


Do you have a chronograph that tells you that you're gun is


actually shooting 675? Because if you're going by what the manufacturer states, it's wrong. Manufacturers ALWAYS


EXAGGERATES what their gun shoots, it's part of marketing.I own a 675fps with a 9* 35 powered scope. Is this o.k to use at say 15ft or less for squirrel hunting?
9*35 translates into ';9 by 35'; power of the scope


also 675 fps is not impossible and is actually kind of slow, with new pellet rifles clearing 1300fps


maybe people shouldn't answer a question if they don't know what they are talking about, i believe the term i am looking for is called ignorant

Why would you need a scope if your target is only 15 ft away? Sounds like you need a bit more target practice.
If it's legal in your local game regs to hunt them with an air rifle, use a good hunting pellet and it ought to do the trick at no further than that.
Fo sure
I don't think your gun is strong enough to kill a squirrel. Its a pellet gun, right?
actually i dont think so unless maybe u get it in the head and i still dont know about that cuz i have a 1000 fps pellet guns and it sometimes has trouble taking them ugle varmints out...
