That's a good idea. I won't have to ask my neighbor before doing this.
I haven't used a wrist rocket in forty years, what range are they
accurate too? The dog runs from me on sight.

It should be noted that I once killed a 175lb white tail buck with a
Wrist Rocket, using ball bearings at a range of about 30 feet.

Smacked a 1/2" steel ball into the side of his skull just behind the eye
socket and he was dead before he hit the ground. And dug the bearing out
of the far side of his brain pan.

Go with as small a marble as you can and try not to shoot them in the
head..or in the body under 20 feet or less
