I have shot in many military contests over the last 40 years & you are an excellent shot. I think you understand the principles of shooting a lot better than most l knew in the Army. To judge the wind & fall of shot at those distances on such a small moving target shows skill. Well done. I hope you & your family had a great Christmas & l wish you have a safe New Year.

[@davidcerullo7976]

Used to live in Philadelphia, Pa in an apartment and pigeons were congregating on the roof. The pigeons were pooping 💩 all over the roof, steps, and railing. Use of a firearm for such purposes is forbidden in city limits. But one day I came home and found piles of pigeon feathers all over the steps. I looked up and saw a hawk circling. Apparently the hawk was picking off the pigeons. The pigeons never returned! 3:36

[@AirRifleActivities]

That's really interesting, David. I've seen hawks here and kestrels too. I've even shown some in my videos. They manage to scare them off for a minute or two. Then they return. A wild raptor would get one and leave; maybe two to feed its young ones. But they don't seem to stay too long at that place - I imagine people scare them.

[@davidcerullo7976]

@@AirRifleActivities Hawks diving in big cities like Philadelphia involves a higher degree of risk for the bird. The hawks can crash into buildings or vehicles. City pigeons are very experienced navigating in the big city.

Hi Alex, greetings from a cool overcast East Yorkshire. Yesterday, took out a skyrat that I've been after for a while. With avian flu still on the go around here, I am assured that the pigeons coming in the garden are feral, as all the racing pigeon lofts around, about four or five, are shut up tighter than a sharks arse, and that's watertight. We feed the wild song birds, and I don't mind the wild wood pigeons coming in, as they hoover up all the seed that comes off the table. So this bugger has been coming for a few days and chasing off the wild birds, but I was in my garden bar, with rifle in hand, only about 12 yards from the feeding station. Anyway, got it, neck through body. I've never had one bleed as much, all over the patio. The wife caught me washing down the blood, wasn't happy. Hasn't spoken to me since, but a few cocktails and nice Sunday roast has smoothed things over, until next time. Good video, all the best, from Big Steve.

[@AirRifleActivities]

Hey, Big Steve 🙂 I must say your comment was most amusing 😄 Forgive me for saying that, I have my issues with my wife too, every now and then - mostly due to spending some of the weekends away from the family. Nice going with the cocktails and cooking 😉👍 The blood thing - I completely understand, I've had cases I was worried workers at my permission might actually think it's a crime scene and alert the authorities 😉

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Wow, is there really that much blood inside these? I always took them for relatively small animals.

[@AirRifleActivities]

@@DinnerForkTongue they are, mate. But it doesn't take a lot of blood to scare some people. If a sky rat hits the ground after a 80 feet fall from the top of a grain bin and rolls several times, sometimes there's a lot of blood and it stands out against the concrete.

[@stephenembleton8135]

@@AirRifleActivities Morning, Alex, yes I like a good laugh myself, there is too much sadness in this world to walk around with a long face. You'll be pleased to know that all is smoothed over with my wife this morning. Also been talking to my neighbour with the racing pigeons, he has asked if i'd like to come and shoot in his garded to clear some of this quite large flock of ferals that hang around, and more worrying, around his loft with this avian flu going on. Longest shots will be less than 20 yards. Happy days!

@@AirRifleActivities I understand I think. But if you want full potentials, you need a very good air rifle with quality, superior accuracy consistency and a very high shot count capability.

That high pitch pinging sound I’m guessing the hammer hitting the valve is BRUTAL when wearing earbuds

No, you hardly hear that sound, it's the camera that's close to the valve and the slow mo footage. And it's a separate valve which can be removed if you like - it's not the one the hammer hits.

Hi Fella What do you prefer shooting through the P2? Slugs or pellets? Those H&N barracudas I mentioned to you the other day weren’t that bad at 25yds. Only in sub 12ft lbs though. Just waiting for my FAC license to be approved, so I can try them at an higher power.

[@AirRifleActivities]

Hey, mate. It depends on what I'm shooting at and at what distance. Also, in some environments the hard hitting slugs are not an appropriate choice. As far as I'm concerned, the gun shoots both equally well.

It is interesting how you calculate the wind direction and velocity.

David, the wind is always gusting. So it's kinda sixth sense you develop with practice and one that doesn't always deliver the expected result. In my latest video I admitted that I miscalculated or misread the wind on at least a couple of shots.

[@davew9360]

That is a powerful sounding gun and you are using what looks like heavy pellets . What is the power rating of the gun ? I can see on your slow motion the pellets arcing into the target but you hit the folded wing in quite a few shots and this is a very strong part of the bird and can deflect pellets , better to hit them in softer parts such as neck or head . difficult to do at these distances in that very strong wind .

[@AirRifleActivities]

Thank you, Dave, few people realise how challenging it may be to shoot an airgun long distance in wind, and the anatomy of the sky rats too. Usually I try to place a shot on a pigeon facing me - like this they expose their vitals. But sometimes they just won't give me such an opportunity and then I take the shot either way, hoping that if the projectile deflects by the bone, then I'll finish the bird with a follow up. That being said, most airgun projectiles deflect because the really good ones are made of soft allow which deforms easily upon impact. The gun is highly adjustable, you can tune it in a wide range of power levels, depending on the caliber too. You can check the link in the video description, it'll take you to the website of the seller where you can find further details. Thank you 🤝

Question for you Alex, I have an "Air Arms S510" rifle which is 3 yrs old now and the internal seal that holds the pressure is leaking. Should I get it fixed at $60 an hour labor plus parts and shipping or just go get a new rifle? I kinda like the FX impact 3 what do you think?

[@AirRifleActivities]

Dave, I don't know which seal or oring you're referring to, but I think you can order it online and replace it yourself. I'm also sure you'll be able to find a tutorial on the KZbin on how to do that. Or perhaps some of the airgunning forums. That gun is the flagship of Air Arms, if I'm not mistaken, so there should be videos explaining how to do that. Which doesn't mean you shouldn't buy a new gun if you want to 😉 Not sure if it should be one of the Swedish guns, never shot any of those.

@@ferrari458it2 apologies, mate 🙂 I thought you were asking about the Huben K1. And now I see you're asking about the Prophet. I'm really not sure, I've never cranked up the reg to its limit. But even in .22 it can easily go to over 60 foot-pounds. The Performance version, of course.

[@ferrari458it2]

@AirRifleActivities don't worry bro ! 😉 I was hoping that you had test it at full power too because i was considering buying the Prophet 2! Do you recommend it or should i buy something better at this price? Thank you for your answers! 😊

[@AirRifleActivities]

@@ferrari458it2 I can't say, my friend, there's no perfect gun, there's just a gun that's perfect for a specific shooter. It depends on your preferences and what you're going to use it for.

What does " hold for wind" mean?

[@AirRifleActivities]

It means aim sideways a little to compensate for wind 🙂

Brilliant shooting what speed are you running those Zan 25s at?

[@AirRifleActivities]

Like I said in the video, 960 to 964 fps, Glen 🙂 Thank you.

[@LeonardoSummers]

Very good shooting and commentary good lad.

[@AirRifleActivities]

Thank you, friend, mean a lot 🤝

[@white-rider]

That hungry cat is cracking me up. Just how many was enough for it? :D Did you figure out if the wobbling was introduced by the paint?

[@AirRifleActivities]

I can't say for sure... But I think if not evenly distributed, it does have an effect on the ballistic performance. Thanks, mate 🙂

[@cudathehawgjetfixer7520]

You should change your channel to; The Pile Driver Channel!! All of these shots was like your using a pile driver to eliminate your targets!! Awesome shooting!! Keep it up!!!

[@AirRifleActivities]

🤣 Thank you, friend, I really enjoyed your comment 👍 Thank you for watching too.

[@danhouse7565]

your t shirt should have the logo on front and BOOM! across the back😊

[@AirRifleActivities]

LOL, okay, Dan 😄 I admit I went too far with that "Boom" on this video 😄

[@johnwhitehead4809]

great shots and vid alex well done, the cat must have a fridge somewhere to keep the meat fresh😄

[@AirRifleActivities]

I've been thinking the same, John, thank you 😄

[@tobelleys]

alex the time as come welcome to the world of slugs, Zan are great slugs but i find that mako slugs by precision ballistics are better, I shoot a lot of squirrels & it needs to be a head shot with most pellets for a clean kill, But the slugs will bring down a squirrel with a body shot, The impact is a lot harder & makes a mess internal, Love the videos man keep them coming all the best....by the way them tracer slugs look cool...

[@AirRifleActivities]

Thank you, friend 🙂 You may have a point about the Makos, I have to try them at some point. Tracers take a while to paint but I have sth else in mind there too 😉 Cheers 🙂

[@billgootee3725]

How is the One Leaf working out for you ,just curious if you still like or not ?

[@AirRifleActivities]

I still do, Bill 🙂 I even have another unit by the same brand, video already in production.

[@johnholmes6897]

WOW I did not expect that kind of impact

[@AirRifleActivities]

It gets even better, watch my Huben K1 Lite videos 🙂 Another one coming soon too. Cheers, bud.

[@Putt-4-Dough]

Hi Alex, I love your channel, great footage on putting the smackdown on those shit birds. I have the Prophet 2 in the performance in .25 cal coming in any day now from AOA. These rifles are awesome, can’t wait to put my in action, nice shooting!!

[@AirRifleActivities]

Thank you, Dean, I think you told me you were expecting your gun very soon in the comments of another video of mine, right? 🙂 I hope it gets to you really soon and you get to enjoy it! Straight shooting, brother.

[@Putt-4-Dough]

@@AirRifleActivities Thank you Alex, you have in my opinion the best Airgun Channel by far.

[@patriciacristobal6977]

Do you think the Zan can be uses in the Leshiy2? Thanks.

[@AirRifleActivities]

A good question - they have size .219 for .22 cal and .253 for .25 cal. The latter is expressly made for the semi autos, so I'm guessing the answer is yes 🙂 Thanks.

[@Venim1ceblade]

Maybe one of your best vids, dude ! Airguns used here are extremely lethal, it is impossible for skyrats to move as they get hit like they used to, with these powerful shots. They're wasted instantly ! You did a good job when you shot both parent and sick child. Please, the people demand more headshots ☠ Greetings from city of Oran (Algeria) ✌🇩🇿💖

[@AirRifleActivities]

Thank you for the nice words, mate 🙂 Glad you enjoy the video. I appreciate your attention and greetings to Algeria 👋

Hello, please make a video of the huben k1 that you hunt at long distances and at high speeds with 40 grain slugs or 34 grain slugs. Please reply. Your follower from Iraq 🇮🇶

[@AirRifleActivities]

Hey, bud. I always reply, even with some delay. I don't own a Huben right now, but I may get one soon. Out of curiosity, 40 gr and 34 gr slugs in what caliber?

[@Hunter_89]

@@AirRifleActivities 5.5 Thank you so much

[@heathhalfhill6401]

I was reading through the comment trying to see if anyone mentioned the high pitched ringing sound when the gun is fired but found nothing concrete. Is the sound from the reg or the hammer striking the valve bud? It is a unique sound for sure and one I hope to have soon. Great shooting and video/editing work also. Thank you. BTW My favorite way to cure sick pigeons 😂👍💯

[@DinnerForkTongue]

I dunno what component it is, but damn if it doesn't sound like a shrill tuning fork.

[@heathhalfhill6401]

@@DinnerForkTongue If I had to guess I would say the regulator is turned up a bit and the sound is a hardened steel hammer and valve. Regulators don’t make that sound from my limited experience. They make more of a hiss not a ping. I wonder if RTI has a de-pinger in the works. Lord knows their engineering dept never stops or sleeps thank goodness.

[@AirRifleActivities]

That's the best way to cure those pests, Heath 😉 I was expecting to get some comments about that noise myself. There are some actually, it's not just you. The sound comes from the reg and has become like the "signature sound" of the gun 😉 The reg was set to 135 bar so it was not turned up too much, mate - the new valve by RTI makes sure there's no need for that unless you're shooting very heavy projectiles. Thanks, brother.

[@tomaiger]

wow, these birds explode and you can see clearly the flight, looks like this is good ammunition for these videos

[@DinnerForkTongue]

I mean these are essentially bullets.

[@AirRifleActivities]

@Tom Aiger the ZAN slugs really performed well. @Dinner-fork tongue you're right, that's a result of the willingness of the airgunning industry to introduce firearms projectiles into air rifles 🙂

[@KRN762]

Pidgeons and Starlings. Two of the biggest pest birds in my area.

[@AirRifleActivities]

Here by me too, mate 🙂

[@aps8446]

This extended episode was so much fun to watch, especially with the unwanted miracle that got _cured_😂 Considering how productive the pesting was outdoors, I wonder if the flying turds are back inside the grain warehouse…

[@AirRifleActivities]

Thank you 🙂 And let me say I think they'll keep going in there, but I'll teach them a lesson, one or two birds at a time.
