Mat is going back to basics this week and swapping his PCP and night vision for a spring gun and lamp and he heads out to target farmyard rats after dark. Kitted out with his Weihrauch HH95 breakbarrel and a scopemounted lamp from the Shooting Party, Mat bags plenty of nocturnal pests for the camera, proving that you don’t have to spend a fortune to hunt successfully at night.

Keeping with the afterdark theme, we take a close look at the Fenix HM65R headlamp from the Photon Shop. With spot and flood beams in two different colours, easy charging and a host of specialist features it looks like being a great choice for nighttime hunting.
