I am also air'd up, and interested in getting back into it, I used to do a little competition shooting with an RWS Sig C225, still have my basic ol' Webley Excel Carbine (with crazy soviet Pilad scope, as used on the soviet Dragunov SVD sniper rifle!).

Might well give one of those clubs a call - good info Zippy smile

Failing that you can always fall back on NERF guns and use them indoors on unsuspecting victims!!

I used to shoot with a .303, then an FN, then an SLR and then an SA80. Happy days. No, I am too young to have shot witha bow and arrow. just in case anyone is wondering.

I've never been one to go along with the excuse for killing because they are vermin, I'd rather people be honest and say they like the hunt and the kill. In my days of having a firearms permit and being a member of a gun club, at least the members there were honest enough to say they liked the kill and not hide behind, the need to be culled. Myself i got enough pleasure improving my ability to shoot by firing at targets, stationary or moving, never thought it very manly firing at animals, vermin or otherwise, might of thought otherwise if they could shoot back.

lashs are you a farmer?

I doubt you are so you probably don't know anything about the vermin on farms that do destroy and contaminate crops already cut or not. You only have to search on YouTube for "Rat farm shoot" to see just how bad some places are.

Yes it has, crops cost money! Vermin will chew through containers and sacks spilling the crop on the floor. this = time + money + crop wasted & contaminated. There is no cover up!

You can't tell a Rat "oi stay off the crops" the only thing you can do is exterminate them. It's a nessesery evil.

How would you like to get rid of the rats then?

Poison? A slow painful death?
Electric? A painful death that lasts 20seconds
Trap? A nice metal bar slamming into the rat bursting it's inside's and causing another painful slow death.

Them sonar things are a load of crap! My neighbour bought one and had it up for 3 days before taking it back. I could bloody hear it at night and it was doing my head in. If humans can't here it why do some have PIR sensors turning it on and off ? Surely you can just leave it on...?... No cos they are crap and humans CAN hear it.

Don't get me wrong I'm not for all types of hunting.

The correct frequencies are way outside the human range, but a faulty circuit design or a bit of cr@p in the transducer and you will get sub-harmonics which are audible.

The PIR concept is generally for battery models, the PIR can be very low current, the transducer though takes power.
