[QUOTE="BobDole, post: 1811637, member: 22290"] I have a Pneu-Dart rifle. Maybe it needs to go back to the company for new seals. Right now, I hate it. It's so unreliable I use Xylazine in a dart instead of an expensive antibiotic because odds are good the dart isn't going into the animal. On the rare occasion a dart makes contact, it seems better to sedate the animal then give the antibiotic. Also, I can pull the dart out. Yesterday I needed to treat two 600 lb steers for pinkeye. 4 darts deployed, none were effective. I saw each one hit the calf, the contents sprayed and the calf ran away. It was easier to get the group in and sort thru them then to continue on with the nonsense. I used 4 pumps for each dart which I thought was plenty considering I was 15-18 feet from the calf. Anyway, I'm not happy with my rifle. [/QUOTE]
