Humane Slaughter/Stunners/Captive Bolt Stunners FAQ

Do I need a license for a Humane Stunner?

No, you do not need a license as they have been de-classified from their firearms status, though you must be 18 or over to purchase one. We also send these recorded delivery as if they were a licensable product to ensure they stay in the right hands.

What size animals do the blanks work on?

Calibre                  Colour                                   Purpose

.22 Cal   –              Pink (1.25 grain)               For Small Animals (Lambs & Calves)

How do I store Stunner / Blanks?

Dry place out the reach of children with the stunner being regularly cleaned and oiled to avoid malfunctions.

What else might you need?

Pithing Rods, HSA manual, Spares.

Who can service them/costs?

The Return Spring has to be replaced every 150/200 shots and the Buffer has to be replaced every 300/400 shots. We supply a service kit for £70.00 or £150 per unit including postage.

How do I use it? (Humane Slaughter Procedure)

The ideal target point on the head of each animal varies from one species to another. To ensure that only one shot is necessary and to ensure that pithing or bleeding procedures are carried out correctly we highly recommend two very informative publications from the Humane Slaughter Association: Captive Bolt Stunning of Livestock and Humane Killing of Livestock Using Firearms.
