Incredible video with the BEST coverage. Plenty of great angles. Just a great overall video.

I was thinking the same thing😂

In less than 10 years this has gotten so big ! It is a testament to the manufacturers commitment to expand the sport !

[@michaelb.42112]

Really ? I have no idea how to gauge it, but if you say so then that is great ! Airgunning is a wholesome, fun, sport for loners or the entire family.

[@michaelb.42112]

Steve Scialli is the man !!! Thanks Steve and your team behind the scenes who make airgunning a wholesome sport. I am addicted and it keeps me out of trouble.

I absolutely love your coverage of these events, this just makes me more excited for next year. Thanks for all you do in the airgun community!

[@floridaairgunandoutdoors4341]

Looks like a great event. Im looking forward to making the trip next year. Lots of great shooters

[@deberryfh]

Absolutely excellent. Watched every minute.

[@bertbccfu9564]

I didn't even know about this I'm definitely going next year, Epping is only about three hours North of me, we go up there once in awhile to New England Dragway anyway, that sounds like an awesome weekend.

[@AEAC]

The event is right across the street from the Dragway 👍😁

Hi Steve! Great video as always. Really wish you'd start asking all the guys who shoot FX what liner they run.

Good call, will do from now on, thanks!! 👍😁

[@TheOverlyHackeled]

The last interview with Warren I believe who shot that great card with a stock impact FX mark 330 Cal at 100 bar says to us average folks out here who don’t put tens of thousands of dollars into an air gun that you can shoot it and have fun and be competitive without mortgaging the house. Has always STEVE a great job, giving us a broad cross-section of shooters, Airguns activities and personalities.No one does it better than you 2:12:39

[@AEAC]

Good point and thanks for the kind note! Adam Miguel too, the event winner was also running a mostly stock M3 .30 cal. I thought that was really neat 😊.

[@BO0OTNECK]

[@THELostSailor]

Ya know, I've watched a couple of your videos and honestly, I was impressed.And I was even going to subscribe, despite most of the products you spotlight are well out of my budget range. However I live an hour away from this Sig Sauer 'experience center'andi gotta say that even with my rather relaxed presentation and being a pretty affable guy, I found experience of my visit a turn-off. First visiting the retail store carries ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THEIR AIR PRODUCTS.. And the let down doesn't stup there. I own an X-5 Sig CO2 pistol and was impressed with its power gun-like feel, balance and weight.And I've als been scoping out their PCP .22 Vertus online and that day went there strongly weighing the probability that I would drive away with one if the gun had the feel I experienced with it's .177 pistol cousin. But I actually came away feeling quietly offended. The staff gets kind of erudite once you mention you are enthused about their airgun line. And the fact that they've held a grand total of ONE airgun event, shouldn't lead you to believe that the company is in anyway supportive and the fact that our AEAC host doesn't make this clear tells me he a) doesn't really grade his paying sponsors all that hard b) was perhaps shined on about the real culture in play here, or c) just doesn't' actually care. One thing I was clear on leaving the place was that the employees could give a rat's butt about air gunners. Andi heard a couple of actual Snickers from the employees at the mere mention of this event, and how I found it entertaining that a legit top shelf firearms manufacturer was taking a serious interest and striving to support the air gunning sport. Trust me, THEY'RE NOT. In fact I got a vibe that the company doesn't care or possibly even really know why they're producing an airgun line. And I can only liken it to my years with Microsoft, Shiva Corp, and IBM, and howon the Enterprise Products sides of those firms,if we made ffun of or didn't take desktop customers. or behaved in a manner that made a lower end product consumer feel unimportant, WE'D BE GONE. I'm pretty clear on two things at this point. I will probably buy little more than a tin of Sig's pellets on clearance. Which is REALLY disheartening, since I wanted one of those Vertus about as much as "Ralphie" in Gene Shepherd's "A Christmas Story" wanted that "Red Ruder".And I was planning on the way up to ask them to show me their newest air equivalent to get my 24 year old son a stocking stuff/'atta boy's gift for blowing our minds and making his old man proud with his successful completion of his UConn Fellowship in Mechanical Engineering (I mean, not every dad gets to crow about his kid having spent the summer designing the reentry process of a spacecraft... And I just wanted one last bonding moment before I lose him to adulthood).The other takeaway is that I'll be taking everything I see and hear on this channel with an appropriate grain of salt till I am otherwise impressed. And I'm sorry if I ruffle a few feathers on the channel. But in fairness I took great pains to keep my account and impression of this event coverage fair and honest.. And I didn't misled anyone here. I won't.even offer a derogatory assessment of Sig's airguns. Their products live up to the limited number of favorable reviews I've seen. But what's any of that worth without a climate of support for the targeted customer base? Not much IMHO.

It's Christmas, another video from Steve.

[@joshuagibson2520]

Where can a fella get a Donny FL? They dont seem to be shipping them anymore.

[@Nathanpettit22]

Utah airguns! They got em all! So does airguns of Arizona. Theres quite a few other places of you google it too, unfortunately donny fl directly isnt selling there moderators currently

[@kentuckywindage222]

I shoot powder burners. From plinking to 1500 yards. Paper, cans and hunting. With that said, i have a Gamo Swarm Magnum I shoot cheap pellets in. On a calm day 100 yards can be pretty smooth once dope is had. 14 plus gr clocked at 970. That is a break barrel and consistency is impressive. Nothing like here in the video though. I kept the tins for round count and have 6500 rounds and shoots great. I get between 250 & 500 before accuracy drops off a tad. A good cleaning and right back to point of aim. Really helps me with follow through on trigger and hold for my powder burners. At 50 yards it is deadly on critters with good shot placement. This sure has came a long way from Red Riders and Daisy pellet rifles. Do any of you make your own pellets for these larger cal air rifles? I've been considering a legal hunting cal. .35 for a while.

[@AEAC]

Welcome. No, most just shoot the JSB & Zans in the larger pellets, or slugs from H&N, JSB, Nielson, Patriot, Zan, FX Hybrid, Alturos, etc.. Steve

[@indospinedc3631]

Shame, I did not see legendary airgun maker like Weirhauch, diana and Walther in the event

[@bigearl8687]

I think those H&N slugs are the best out there.."my opinion " 😊 good video and coverage...waiting for the fx dynamic double bottle review and the avenger ☓ I know it's coming 😅

Can anyone please share any links to any videos in how to simply.. and I mean simply tune a crown... I can't find anything simple.. it's all so complicated.. and nobody shows how to actually do it

[@heathhalfhill6401]

As many tests I have watched on video about what is better .25 cal or .30 cal ballistics wise the .25 seemed to rock it yet a ton of shooters are using .30 cal. What gives?

[@PaulHamM3]

Did Kieth from 68 whiskey say why he didnt bother with a sound mod? im guessing harmonics may of been affected with one fitted.

[@AEAC]

He didn't. He was probably just running what was working for him that week. Steve

Wonder if Lexi is related to Al Lindner and all those Lindner boys out west.

I sure wish they'd keep their guns and Firearm Training separate like now we're going to use airguns to pretend to be some kind of a soldier fighting a war in Ukraine or something

[@joshuagibson2520]

Smoke one and relax a bit.

[@hotchihuahua1546]

Seriously , you need to chill out ! Look at some of the old WW I and II videos of American solders training with wood guns since there were not enough real guns at the time . Wether it’s paint ball or other forms of sport in this type of activity, it still helps !

[@gumbystown]

@hotchihuahua1546 well not that it's any of your business but I'm 45 years old........ and yes lots of things were done in the past that if done now are frowned upon and yes I know all the history of airguns but this is 2023 ....where they want to make everything illegal Firearms everything how about try to save airgun industry for a little longer before they try to take it away ... . stop trying to confuse the two together........ point is there should be a major separation between airguns and Firearm trying to blend them together we'll just blend all laws and regulations Blended together.
