I didn't hit 'em all the time..70-80% I'd say. BB guns aren't the most accurate and it was an older used one. Couldn't afford a new one.. . I can't remember who told me to try that..I know he was a Remington Company shooter...but it was many many years ago. He was an old guy(well I was a kid ya know) and I wanted to be a GOOD shotgun shooter. I probably wasted a lot of time doing that BB gun thing..LOL! I do remember that I didn't have nuff money to buy any BB's one fine day and another old guy gave me a bag of Lead BB shot. It actually shot better than the steel BBs..but nowhere near as fast or as far. As a kid..I was always short of money and long on wants..
