Thread: Shooting Possums in trees

Agreed. Basic safety - where will YOUR bullet go if you miss. It's not about keeping Mr Plod happy - it's about being a responsible shooter.

Just grab a cheap .22, have shot oodles of the buggers up trees without a problem. And that was the upgrade after the air rifle (which is still fun in itself and v cheap to shoot).

+1 for the shotgun use, but the downside is the noise factor. So a suppressed .22 shooting subs, or an air rifle will do the job nice and quiet and safe.
