    Personally I think a shotgun is ideal for shooting possums out of trees...pellets fall to ground after a few hundred metres AND it's a hell of a lot of fun. However noise can be a problem in more closely settled areas so most people just use a .22 which can apparently travel 2-3 km. A centrefire projectile goes a bit further but it is the shooters responsibility to ensure a safe backdrop eg. tree trunk or mountain.

    Some guys say use an air rifle but I find poss are hard buggers to kill even with a .22
