I have had it for over two yearsnow, only recently found out about spud files, thats why all the goodies are comeing on now.
dont know about damage exept for one ocasion when i shot a glass pill bottle at a old wall, on the farm, made a decent mark about 1cm deep.
And have shot apples 250m, and a loose golf ball about 300m.
Thats how they sell the adaptor in South Africa, You also do get the centerd ones at a higher price.
Damage pics to follow
