Door knocking at the farms where you are seeing the damage being done will be your best course of action.

1 tonight total - 11

This is feeling like a personal blog, is anyone else shooting rats? another 5 on 29/1/25 picture edited as not pleasant. im a size 11 foot for size reference *mods please edit of photos are not acceptable and accept my appologies 👍🏻

@MikeDodgson get yourself over to junction 7 area m62 farms either side of the road and 100’s and 100’s of pigeons smashing the rape fields the sky was a swarm of grey at 09:15 this morning as I drove past, I only shot a couple in my minds eye so plenty to go at if your willing to go and knock…..you might get a yes

Im in agreement with the other gents, I have the 400 version and the way I would explain it is that it’s like looking through a window when off and then when turned on it has superimposed/ digitally displayed bits (aim circle/lines, distance numbers etc )within the viewing area off:- on:-

I saw a video on socials earlier today about this and from what I saw I’d put my money on it being one vehicle, an artic pulling a walking floor trailer. As to the why’s a what for’s not a clue. Disgusting behaviour irrelevant of reason though.

Assuming you put the shot in the correct place, within acceptable ranges and with accuracy then yes a sub12 air rifle will humanely kill all of the quarry mentioned. The only thing that I would say is make sure you are keeping to the rules of the general licence where the crows are concerned

I have an a400 xplore light with the kick off system and I love it, I’ve taken it on the marsh, on the pigeons and to the clay ground it’s never missed a beat. I nearly sold it (purely due to funds) but I’m so glad it didn’t sell as I 100% believe I’d be sat here now regretting it! Further to that, down to how much I love it, it’s reliability, the fact it’s a joy to shoot it will be that gun that never gets sold. unfortunately i’m not a gun reviewer so that’s about as good as I can offer. I’d advise you go and try one and see for yourself…..don’t forget your wallet you’ll probably need it 🤣

Very generous offer, I do love a bit of rat shooting, I lived up that way many moons ago too! only wish I was closer as It’s a fair trek for a nights shooting.

As already stated above shooting pigeon over the winter is some of the hardest and most unpredictable shooting that you’ll find. But, when it all works/comes together it’s some of the best shooting you’ll have. You’ll need to get yourself used to the idea that some days it just won’t happen, you’ll have 100’s or even thousands of birds and yet they just won’t play ball. Get on google and type in “pigeon shooting patterns” switch to images and fill your boots with all the pictures/diagrams. Plenty to choose from and it’s not about right or wrong but about what works on the day. Be prepared to change your pattern too! If it’s just not working change it up, example - go from your v pattern to a u/horseshoe or an upside down L. take note of the advice given from the more experienced amongst us, the forum is full of invaluable knowledge. you could (if your land owner allows it) take a more experienced forum member that’s local to you out for a days shooting on your perm and get some mentoring/advice tips or tricks. last of all stick at it! Don’t give up! Because it will most definitely come together at some point and you’ll feel like you e had the best days shooting you could ever dream Of and all the bad memories of it not quite working out will just disappear……then the cycle starts all over again 🤣🤣 good luck and shoot straight 👍🏻

Length of pull is the measurement from the front face of trigger blade to the rear most part of the butt plate/pad 👍🏻

Another two tonight before my school boy error of not charging my ir torch after the last outing put an end to my fun 🤦‍♂️ total - 5

I too have been watching, it’s so good to see someone full of enthusiasm! he’s like a kid in a sweet shop that’s just been given free reign 🤣

Hi Daniel, is this still available and if so is there any movement on price?
