Furthest....blackbird around 50 yards, witnessed by my grandpa. I was about 12 years old and it was a one shot kill, right in the head, he couldn't believe it. Still remember the look on his face over 20 years later. Regularly hit everything at 30 yards but that was when I would spend every evening and all weekend shooting gophers, ran through a 500 tin of pellets every week or two, and didn't much care how far anything went after I shot it. Pest control.
Crossman co2 powered rifle, started with open sights and eventually got a cheap bushnell scope. Best thing a kid could own.
