BigDave15 Posted March 26, 2002 Report Share Posted March 26, 2002 My mum keeps rabbits in the garden so it wouldn’t be long before a rat showed him self. So while she was planning on how to take action (Properly nicking one of my dads traps!) I was out there ready. Now i have shot rats with many things like 22 rim fires and 410 shotguns but i couldn’t just use one in the back garden so i dusted off my old air rifle and was ready. I was amassed to find how effective they are. I shot 6 rats in one after noon and every one was a clean kill and it isn’t a full power air gun either. Good old air airgun! :( :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 27, 2002 Report Share Posted March 27, 2002 Try the same thing with a lamp at night Dave and you'll get a whole lot more! Having been mentored by "savage" (see the great rifle shooting debate in 'Can you lamp pigeons?' forum), I can shoot the eye out of a moving rat at 150yds using a 12lb/ft air rifle with iron sights (at night with only the light of the moon!). Hope you can take a joke mate! :laugh: :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave15 Posted March 27, 2002 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2002 The outher method my dad used was a Catapult or sling shot we went out one night with the dog and i held the lamp for my dad we got quite a few. is it just me or do the big slow ones just come out at night! :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 27, 2002 Report Share Posted March 27, 2002 I've never used a catapult before Dave, but as you mentioned the dog - I've a little jack russell bitch who absolutely loves ratting, you want to see her go! I tell you one thing, I never thought I'd feel sorry for a rat till I watched her at work. :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PC Futrett Posted March 27, 2002 Report Share Posted March 27, 2002 Steve I will pass on your comments to Savage as I don't expect him to be looking in the Air Gunners Forum for comments about his shooting prowess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
