Since it is restocked and I'm planning to buy one, I have a question about this awesome piece of equipment !

even if not entented for target practice, can it be use for it ? Is it precise enough to have some fun while my friends are practicing with their crossbow and bow ?

I understand It will probably not hit the target most of the time, but if it does sometime, it is enough for me

Many thanks

Mathieu

Hey Mathieu
From what I've seen of the one HE Handgonne it should work well enough for you, but I think it will make a mess of the target with it's big hole's it makes...

Oh I had great time up there in Canada with your Troop...

You can use it. As stated in the write-up, it's not intended for "precision" shooting. It is a smoothbore. You can probably shoot it with people shooting crossbow, but your range and accuracy will not be the same as a rifled gun or a crossbow.

If you don't feel comfortable and want to get a feel for it, I would test it on an actual firearms range before mixing it with other weapon types.

It's a nice piece.
