  1. I thoroughly agree with what you are saying there Pointer regarding newbies and Dirty Harry. What I am saying though, is a Rat, being such a small creature, has an amazingly fast hearbeat any injury that causes trauma via an open wound will cause the rat to bleed out within a matter of seconds. Add to this the fact that the shock (however mild) will also cause the rodent to turn toes up. A friend of mine saw a Rat that had migrated into his property from his next door neighbours Aviary. He threw a hand garden fork at it at just over 9 yards. It litterally clipped the rodent in the hind quat
  2. thats not the real world of ratting where it can often be hard enough to take a steady aim with a rifle.targets are one thing,if you miss so what just re-load but were talking about a living animal here. im not being deliberately negative i just dont want newbies or youngsters thinking they can go around ratting like dirty harry. good point N
  3. tony every alecto i have shot vents air on the last stroke,other than that i find the trigger is naff compared to my Rhom,,tau 7,,bruno multishot. but other than that there are 2 versions so i am lead to belive one that does 2 pumps,, an the one that does three pumps but having 9 people that i know with them an doin chrono strings with them they turn out a respectable level of power, my main gripe is the trigger its just not as good as im used to, an even the guys that have messed with theirs say it could be better shoot safe Niel
  4. i wouldnt think about using my HW40 for rat dispatch unless i was right on top of it,,ten feet or less HW45 much better choice more power bit of a monster to shoot right tho, just my 2bobs worth niel
