Hey Skeets13... well a couple of questions to think about first... are you looking to kill them or just run them out of your yard? How close is the nearest neighbor? I have had luck several ways… I have killed several raccoons that didn't seem to get the hint with the pellet gun with my hunting bow… I have run squirrels away with dumb-dumb blunts in my blow gun… I have got rid of several pesky birds with the pellet gun… since I live within a neighbor hood a quite weapon is the best!… Also, I like to perfect my hand eye coordination…

If you want to get a good actuate, single shot pellet rifle try a Gamo, I have really enjoyed mine… Good Luck!

Shoot Straight...
