[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1180685, member: 16453"] I have a Cap chur rifle. I only use it occaisionally. Early in the year I had a bull with Pinkeye in both eyes and was virtually blind. He just couldn't be driven anywhere and would try and go through fences. I was able to immobilise him and treat his eyes both topically and with Oxytet . I had no hope of getting him to the yards so was very handy. I did have trouble when I first got it, the darts with the plastic tails on them would be damaged by the charge in the syringe and even with new O rings would leak the gas out and not discharge the full dose. I have since changed to the older mop tails which are aluminium and a lot tougher and the entire contents of the syringe always get discharged. The mop tails probably have a bit more drag and decrease the range but that is not a problem with my use as I am not trying to shoot from any great distance. I have also change to the barbless darts they still stay in long enough to do the job and I don't have to cut them out as I often had to do with the barbed ones. I don't really need the gun but I had a heap of bonus points on my drug account that I had to use up and getting one of these seemed like an idea at the time. It is handy having it there on those odd occaisions when something needs to be done right up the back corner of the place a long way from yards. Ken [/QUOTE]
