Members Weapons

Our members have a range of weapons available to them from sub twelve foot pound air rifles used for smaller confined areas where safe shots are paramount through rimfire rifles able to take ground vermin out to distances up to 150 meters (for the .17HMR) and foxes to shotguns, able to take flying vermin such as pigeon and corvids as well as close range fox control.

Air Weapons

Great tools for shooting in confined areas or in areas where shot control is essential. Capable of controlling ground vermin, rats in confined areas as well as tree based targets we have a number of members with air weapons in their arsenal ready to assist you in controlling vermin species on your land.

Rimfire Rifles

These rifles are entry level live fire rifles that are ideal for use on clients land as they have a limited range compared to centre fire rifles yet are still capable of shooting ground based vermin and foxes. The .22LR rifle is effective to up to 100 meters (dependant on condition) for smaller vermin such as rabbits and up to 50 meters for fox. The .22LR rifle can be effectively sound moderated if fitted with a moderator and used with sub-sonic bullets.

The .17HMR uses a small but much faster bullet and can take rabbits to 150 plus meters and fox out to 100 or so meters. As the bullet is much faster they are less effective to sound moderate but more effective when distance is required.

Full Bore Rifles

For shooting larger vermin or at further distances full bore rifles are required and are effective well beyond the range that any of our members will be shooting at. There are seasons involved for deer and we can only cull what is in season, please e-mail us or phone us with your requirements and we will do what we can.

Shotguns

The ideal tool for controlling flying vermin such as pigeon, crows, rooks and magpies. We have many members that shoot shotguns in the pursuit of controlling pigeon and this is a growing part of Shootwatch's work.

Members have the facility to set up decoy patterns and effectively bring pigeons and corvids close to them to enable effective control of flying pests and usually we have enough members available to shoot in teams of two or three to keep the pigeons moving between the guns.
