SHOOTING RATS▪︎300 DOWN▪︎.22 AIR RIFLE
Ойын-сауық
This chicken farm is totally overrun by rats. 🐀 I've never seen an infestation like this before. Shooting with the .22 calibre FX Impact is the perfect control measure. We managed to eradicate over 300 rodents in 2 hours.
First outing for the new Pard SA62-45 thermal scope. Lightweight and perfectly balanced on the FX Impact M3 made for a very comfortable shooting combination. Ammunition used was the Hades 15.89gr pellets @ 630 fps to help mitigate any risk of collateral damage to the infrastructure. A great result for the client and a heap of fun reducing the rat numbers.

I like that you always go for a second shot when they are struggling. They may be pests but they dont deserve to suffer, they didnt choose to be pests! Great respect!

@@BossPredatorAcoustics please have a look at Australian mouse plagues . In one video The people open a barn door and they flood out the door like a wall of water. My uncle and aunty had a small plague on their farm and my poor aunty went to go to bed and there was dozens of the little mongrels under the sheets. I'd rather deal with a brown snake.
