Reserve method

Before every shift, it is important to consider what reserve method is appropriate to use. The idea is to re-stun the animal immediately if stunning has not had the intended effect. This means, for example, that appropriate reserve weapons must be prepared so that they can be loaded quickly and that appropriate safety measures can be undertaken quickly before using a rifle.
Appropriate reserve methods when using a captive bolt stunner are:
A more powerful charge, calibre
Rifle or shotgun
Another captive bolt stunner, if the first one failed to work.
