Paintball range and accuracty

No. It's mostly to frighten the small critters. Deer are another story, and it is pretty hard to hit them. As I said, at 40 or 50' their reflexes are so good they can jump away from the paintball before it gets to them. The noise and incoming are what frightens the critters. In fact, shoot at squirrels two or three times, and whenever they see you they head for safer territory.

Read all the posts in this thread - I said earlier when some suggetsed air guns I'm not using BB's or pellet guns because of the possibility of wounding animals. The REAL pests (chipmunks) we trap and release in the woods a few miles away. I say they are the real pests because they get into the house walls and we hear them in the winter making noise behind the drywall....field mice are quiet.

if the goal isn't' injury, have you considered some type of water spray system?

Yes, but I'm no Mark Rober.
