Just how powerful are they? I know they are quite low velocity. Just second guessing myself now. Neighbor had a cornered coon that I only had a bead on for about 3 seconds before it hid and couldn't get to it. No real chance of a head shot so I didn't pull the trigger. Certainly could have gotten a body shot, but unsure it would have been a vitals hit. I don't have any love for raccoons, but I also don't really want to just wound an animal.
It was harassing his chickens.
Thought for next time? Range was close, less than 10 yards and certainly the biggest coon I've ever seen. Must have been a good 18-22lbs.
