    Sorry chaps but if I can't ensure a quick clean kill even on a rat I personally won't take the shot.

    Wounding an animal and leaving it to die down a hole is not my thing. 

    Not being funny that's just my way, you have yours. 

    Then realistically you should never pull the trigger, if I'm shooting a rat in the chest at 25 metres, normally less its going to die, it might flip about sometimes but its job done.

  2. My old fella tried showing me and my brother how to play years ago, I'll quite happily watch on the telly and find it interesting, but my brother just kept throwing all his two pence pieces in every hand, learned nothing.

  3. one of my kids spilt some ice-cream last year and that worked well, the rat that had been evading me had to stop to lick at the ice cream POP, the other good one is peanut butter pushed into the holes on a brick, anything that gets them to pause.

    Agreed.

    When you say it's accurate, how big is a 5 shot group at the distance you're shooting the rats at? Ideally you need to be sub 5p size with 5 shots each and every time. I find the best place is between the eyes if head on or slightly behind the eye side on.

    I dont fully agree with this, if the rat is still I'll happily take the head shot, but I'm just as happy taking a chest shot when there mooching about, they might jump or flip into cover or down a hole, but your still going to have a dead rat, i normally find shooting them with accupell the pellet punches clean through which is why i like the pest control for rats.

    Found this-

    By BBC business editor Simon Jack

    Many companies offer incentives and discounts to employees who wish to build a shareholding over time. That is not the same as taking 10% of the company away from its current owners to stick in a fund for the workers and the government's benefit, which seems to be what the shadow chancellor is proposing.

    For a start, the workers will not be able to buy and sell the shares - so they won't really "own" them in a traditional sense. They will be eligible to receive dividends on the shares up to a value of £500 per worker per year. The government gets the rest.

    The Labour Party reckons this will raise about £2bn a year. It could end up much more. Let's take just one company - bumper dividend-payer Shell. Ten percent of its £12bn annual dividend comes to £1.2bn.

    If each of its 6,500 UK employees got £500 each (totalling £3.25m) that leaves £1.116bn for the government. That's just from one company - every year. 

    that can't be right, it would mean the labour party were using workers to fleece companies out of money??

    Some nice rifles there ,Mice, but BAR prices are about 30% dearer than I reckon I can buy for and then they add £24 postage :no:.

    I always think they seem dear, but its a business so there probably expecting a haggle?

    I'm following this guy on free adds, definitely worth a look, he has/ had a HW 30 or 35 last week looked immaculate 

  7. I've seen guys using a petrol hedge cutter with an extension and it looks pretty easy, I've currently got an Aldi battery hedge cutter, its much easier having no cable that's for sure, and light weight so I'm happy using a ladder. My neighbour has got an extended electric one with a saw attachment but I've no idea what its like

    another idea is get a small platform or scaffold that you can work from?

  8. I can understand you wanting more involvement from the gun and I'm sure a nice light weight springer would be nice for walking about the woods with, but i cant see you being as effective as you are are with your pcp's?
