I know 40 yards sounds far fetched, but the white mark on the side of the gun is chalking from the door frame of the back door to the deck. (where I steadied the gun)The wood line is a good 35-40 yards. Got lucky I guess. I snuck up on squirell #2 and missed at 15 yards. Go figure.
I had the rws 350 magnum in .22,1050fps.I shot a chipmunk with a wadcutter and I heard a loud smack,and after I picked the chipmunk up and saw a hole in both sides,I found a hole in the tree behind where the chipmunk was.
