Yes a lot.
Rabbits hares are way less responce to a red light.
Color red in genral, catch is if your shooting the same area all the time they learn its a threat eventually.
Eye shine off a red light will show up way more than green or white.
Red light doesn't kill your night vision either.
If you want to try before you buy you can borrow my scope torch, and a couple of batteries, charger to if you need it.
Has red, green ,white light. Three brightness settings. If your scope is a 30mm tube i can provide a scope mount with it all for you to trial. If not you'll have to hand hold it as im not sure where the reducer rings are.
You will have to zero on again if scope mounted as it will throw the gun out due to it. However once its on its only a matter of dialing up the zerozero on scope via turrets for naked or torched.

Has anyone tried hunting with a red light spotlight?   Ive read that the red light don’t spook the quarry as much as a white light does and am thinking of trying a red light torch on my airgun to see if I have better success. ]]> Tue, 21 Apr 2026 09:52:26 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1344&PID=14039#14039 Hunting Gear : Hidayats cattle slayer www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=477&PID=12758#12758 Author: Myson

Whenever I get a wild cat or possum in my cage trap, I use an old Crosman 1322 pump-up .22 pistol to kill them in the head at point blank range.

Works every time!  Smile

I had a similar experience. I had to control cats around a cool store. I would trap them then dispatch them with my Maruader pistol 10 fpe in 22. I even shot one at about 15m between the eyes and it dropped, but there was one cat that at point blank where the pellet stuck in the back of his skull, I could see it there. Didn't kill it, and needed a second to the side of it's head. That made me ensure I had more power for the rest. ]]> Sat, 06 Sep 2025 18:03:07 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=477&PID=12756#12756 Hunting Gear : Hidayats cattle slayer www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=477&PID=12755#12755 Author: JasonEdward

I’m thinking for euthanasing trapped animals, so it wouldn’t need to be sheep or cow power, but enough to deal with a possum or feral cat.

I used to use a crossman co2 powered .22 pistol, it was fine for rats, hedgehogs, ferrets, and possums, but its power was marginal for feral cats.
Also I hate the idea of single use disposable co2 cartridges, which invariably leak over the few days inbetween needing to use the pistol.
A full size pcp rifle does the job, but a pistol would be much easier to carry around.


Pete,
That's interesting you finding cats are hard to kill like possums are. 

Years ago we had a mad cat woman - she was on the telly  - and I ended up trapping some cats and really surprised how a slug in the ear at point blank range sometimes did not do the trick the first time.

It turned what I thought was a routine dispatch into a very unpleasant job.

Do cats have thick skulls?]]> Sat, 06 Sep 2025 17:11:59 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=477&PID=12755#12755 Hunting Gear : Bunnies Bunnies and more bloody bunnies www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1242&PID=12613#12613 Author: KiwiTR6

At the top LH corner of the home page you will find the Messages icon next to the Member Control Panel icon.  Click on that and it will open to the Inbox, Outbox and New Message menu.

If that doesn't work then I have no idea sorry.
