Hi thanks for watching distances are very subjective and depends on the equipment, surroundings and of course the skill of the shooter. If your sub 12 like myself around 30/40 yds close is anything from 5ths up wards just remember you have hold over and under and bare in my wind etc. the more you practice the better you will get. Also a good quality air rifle & pellet are v important. Hope this helps. Have a nice day mate. Denny.

Nice summary mate But there are heavier pellets available in both 22 and 177 as example I run 16.02 JSB monsters in my pathfinder and it packs as much punch as a 22 on rat ranges I agree that hades are good I run them on my Rm8 great on rats but I also Run dead center 18 gr and range master sovereign 18gr in my Ata airborne again both great on rats Getting permission is difficult but I wouldn’t say your accent has anything to do with it I wrote over 200 letters before I landed my rat permission on a massive dairy farm, but also I landed another permission by driving around local farms and asking a top tip here is dress like a county type so farmers cap,check shirt. Gillette windbreaker, chinos, etc cost me around 100 quid to get decked out another tip I got some business cards printed so if the farmer said no I politely left my card as you never know anyway really enjoy your vids mate an honest approach Cheers Andy

Hi thanks for your information about the pellets very helpful. Indeed it is very difficult to obtain permission indeed belive me I’ve done all that wearing the county attire had cards and flyers done etc always been so polite and respectful on my approach believe me there is a stereo type with the scouse accent once your out of town in the country around west Lancashire Cheshire etc a lot of people shut the door in my face and it does become soul destroying but I get it. Living in the city where very limited to permissions etc but it is what it is just have to stick to my back garden! Oh I even joined BASC as well and that didn’t help they just take your money lol.

@@Ratsinthereticles that's what I thought

Exactly, they are both great .With a well placed shot, they both do the job I've shot .22 all my life ,I gave up shooting for 6 years as a powder burner ,but now I have started again at mid 50s. I have gone for a .177 and that just because of its flatter trajectory and my age lol my choice of pellet was either wasps or air arms field deablo, but mostly the air arms ,they have a soft skirt that expands into the rifling better ,great vid m8

🤔 .... ? have you tried .25 i own .177 & .22 as well as .25 dependent on what I'm shooting where I'm shooting i pick appropriately ( all sub 12ft lb ) each has their pro's & cons I've done a lot of pellet testing to find what my guns like & try and stick to them
