So a friend of mine sent me an email and asked "Is the Daisy Powerline 856 good for squirrels? "
Here was my response:
"No Jim, its too long to hide in their nest and the trigger is too far forward for their paws to be able to hold and fire at the same time.
Most of the squirrels in my hood just carry a small handgun, like a Smith and Wesson model 60 Chiefs Special with a 2 inch barrel.
Hope this helps "
Site seems to be OK. Load issue should be resolved now.

Re: Is a Daisy Powerline good for Squirrels ?
Your response to his question is actually spot on, though. The Daisy can be used for squirrels and some folks have taken squirrels with them, but it is far from being a good choice.
