ANY torch will do the job...possums arent hard to find,and once up trees stay there. you dont need a $200 torch to find possums in willow tree near your home...go out now on full moon and silhouette them....once leaves take off its too late.
head torch to walk with and handheld for looking around... shoot them in the V of throat if you can...or through chest if side on...your 22 airgun may have enough grunt for head shots,chest works but takes few seconds to kill them.

mickey -many moons ago Iknew an old scots bloke on the coast who used a single shot and miners acetylene lamp to keep the london fur markets supplied ."och laddie yonbonny wee buuga looks at the flickerin flame ,makes him very bouncy bang! he reckoned possums curiosity was their downfall and id agree .also watch for a doe whose randy ,sit tight and nailall the horny bucks as they come lookinfor poontang .theyre grossly oversexed and totally undervigilant-.22 or 12g blowjob will cure the desire. Ishot many with a good old chrome 3cell torch under the barrel of the stirling m14.snarling bastards get no mercy from me -its kill on sight .
