2009年3月11日 · Just my two cents, but a live rat is a moving target. If you have had absolutely no training or practice, a gun would probably be a bad idea. Even one as light weight as a pellet gun. "Pellet" a small projectile that you are trying to shoot into a live, moving target. TSC stores have the green block poison that works pretty well. Maybe before ...

2010年5月10日 · I know it wouldn't completely fix things, but if I could shoot any rat I saw, I'd feel better about it. But, I live about 3 blocks from a police station, and have neighbors fairly close. The closest neighbors wouldn't mind at all (they'd probably even lend me the gun), but the further away neighbors COULD possibly call the police if they heard ...

2022年2月10日 · So there's a real problem with rats in my barn and after trying various methods (poison, traps, trapper, rat terrier) I'm ready to try shooting them. Can anyone recommend the best BB gun for this? Any suggestions about how to …

2012年3月22日 · I have killed bushels of rats with nothing more than a Daisey Red Rider air rifle (BB gun) All the shooting was inside of a layer house and the range was about 25 feet or less. The Lewis & Clark Expedition carried an air rifle that …

2024年3月24日 · Don't get me wrong, shooting rats is fun. It's just not going to put a dent in the problem. A good break open .22 pellet gun is nice to have around. I've used mine to dispatch mink, weasel, small raccoon, etc. Hatsan .22 is good pesting gun. Not too heavy, not overpriced and good power for .22 caliber. JSB 18 grain domed would be my pellet of ...

2013年4月26日 · Set a table outside and chair. Use hard pillows or stool cushions to prop up the gun. A "military hold" is when you let the gun rest on your forearm or flat palm of hand when standing. To use pillows as a prop is the same thing. Don't grab the gun on stock just handle and trigger allowing the gun to jump where ever it wants.

2013年3月15日 · I dont see why it wouldnt kill rats... Ive killed possum out of my kitchen window with my break barrel... Most only made it a few feet... Today the coon in the traps went down with a pellet just as good as they do with a .22... Id always prefer the 22 but 14 years ago i was a dumbass teenager...

2015年8月30日 · Last year I dispatched 7 raccoons with a .177 Gamo pellet gun. As much noise as it makes though I should have bought a .22cal rifle, more power, more accurate and not particularly louder than the 1250fps pellet guns, quieter if you use shorts.

2015年6月7日 · A .22 or .17 caliber pellet gun is more than powerful enough to kill rats, just sit still until the rodent stops moving then lower the boom on him. Click to expand... Yeah, I'm skeptical since my "biological byproduct producers" (AKA Dogs) distribute their byproducts all over the yard and my male likes to lift his legs on the outside of the ...
