Especially useful should you encounter the real decision maker of the household (let the reader understand).

Good luck.

The air rifle is definitely not one of those UK spud guns, fires a .22 at a respectable 21fpe and 950 fps comfortably accurate to 50yrds.

I have emailed some producers (those I could get details for) in the area and included the added safety, reduced range and less noise of an air rifle but also, I'm only using lead-free alloy pellets so there is no chance of livestock or water being poisoned. They're a lot more expensive but that's what I would use if it were my property so I reckon it's only right.
