Has anyone here tried a functional test of their barrel crown? I'm thinking along the lines of using a high-speed camera to observe how gas flows out of the barrel when a pellet is shot. Curious to see which crown shapes have the best experimental outcomes. I imagine people have done...

For IR I use the Sightmark Wraith Mini with an Acebeam L19 IR illuminator. With the illuminator on "moonlight mode" it's excellent for 10-30 yard shots. The higher power settings suffice to illuminate out at least 600m. But for most pesting I use the iRay RICO RH50. It has a 640x480 sensor...

The main problem with Kevin's setup is if you're going after something skittish, it'll likely notice the light reflecting off your face and bolt.

When the Leshiy 2 just came out there were a good number up for resale. Some earlier adopters probably didn't know what they were buying. I see zero for sale in Canada. Have been looking to set up a 2nd in a different calibre.

Mostly raccoons. Occasionally rats and rabbits.

Not ridiculous, but maybe far-fetched. I've never come across an open-air range that banned airguns. But I have heard of plenty of indoor ranges that ban them. This sounds like the most reasonable explanation to me.

At an indoor range I could imagine one reason. Say someone is shooting a PCP airgun and brings in a big SCBA tank. Usually those tanks are filled with non-breathable air. So if an SCBA tank were to rupture indoors, there is the potential for people to asphyxiate. . . depending on room size...

This guy uses mink but also dogs and monitor lizards.

I eradicated my raccoon problem with an Edgun Leshiy 2 in .22. Well, I also live-trapped the babies. The gun was for the wiley adults that wouldn't walk into the trap. I probably could have done it all with the gun, but a live trap for the dumb ones really speeds things up, and takes far less...

Well, the full-sized ones were bred for hunting badgers. The minis just for smaller game like rabbits and rats. Yes, my daschund is very protective of me. He sleeps either in my crotch or between my feet, every night. Same with my other dog, but she's an australian shepherd -- too...

That's interesting. I doubt my (mini) daschund would attempt to go after a badger, but we don't have any around here so I doubt I'll find out. We have raccoons though. Curious to see what he does when face to face with a raccoon. I do know he goes after chickens, rabbits, rats and likely...

The thing I like about daschund's is it's munch-toss, munch-toss, munch-toss, repeat. They can kill a large number of rats, mice and rabbits in only a few moments. They deal with infestations. Cats take their time with their prey.

You know you've reached saturation when you walk around your neighbourhood and encounter the occasional raccoon, and they just slowly back away from you without breaking eye contact. ;)

I don't think I've ever been disappointed with a gun purchase. Before I had a license to own firearms (I'm in Canada) I bought too many Crosman 1322's, just experimenting on them -- they don't require a license in Canada. They did not disappoint, but I've got more than I really need. Every...

This is normal. Deer do it. Raccoons do it. They notice situations and places where their buddies all start to die, and they avoid those situations and places. The advice all sounds fine. But even with all that advice, the rats will slowly learn. My neighbourhood still has lots of raccoons...

But can you split a hair length-wise at 1000 yards?

. . . and if you don't like cats, a daschund will do the job as well.

The webpage doesn't appear to have any information about where they are located. And all their job listings are for remote positions. Seems a bit suspect to me.

I have a bunch of lasers and flashlights, but most of the time my guns are used for pesting, so I don't need them. I tend to strap a laser on my rifles when I do the first sighting-in. I'm lazy and I forget which direction the sights move when I turn the knob clockwise or counter-clockwise...
