Biggest day of the year.....BY FAR

[@andyb6120]

Nice shooting. You have to be the free standing champion. Amazes me how steady you can hold the rifle.

[@andysrange8789]

😆😆 cheers mate, lots of practice

[@regsparkes6507]

Me too, practice makes perfect, as they say!

[@davidpaylor5666]

Some nice heart shots there mate. And it's good to see the S200 out and about, too many people write them off as a beginners/kids rifle but they really can get the job done. And not weigh you down on a long day. Good work, thanks for posting.

[@casperboo5465]

Cracking video Andy, and top notch shooting by you both, Cheers

[@andysrange8789]

Thanks mate

[@manliorovi7153]

Sei favoloso! Un vero maestro! Mi rammarico che non conosco la tua lingua ma ti seguo... grazie!!

[@plummz]

That's my hunting set up. S200 with magazine and airmax scope. Quite old-school but reliable, light, handy and very accurate. Great video as always. Thanks

Hi Andy. I use a HW95k .177 springer. Would you recommend a Rat Works tune for this rifle? Thanks. ATB MMMD

Great shooting lads👍👍👍

Well done Sir .

awesome quality video, is it a gopro 9? i would love to see same quality content with the springers. please do in the future

[@andysrange8789]

Hero 7 black, I would love to but not sure the footage would be very good due the recoil

@@andysrange8789 the quality is really amazing in hero 7.regarding the footage in the springer, there wont be much difference, there'l be slight vibration for a split second, pls do. thanks

Hi Andy just wondering what you think about s200 for 14 year old

[@andysrange8789]

Perfect for any age

[@cristianomachado7204]

Very good your video Andy ... I would like to take a doubt. Up to how many meters can you make kills by hitting the chest of a large dove with 16j?

[@andysrange8789]

Thanks Cristiano. My furthest ever shot was 98 yards on a pigeon, brought it down but wouldn’t recommend it. Pretty risky.

[@regsparkes6507]

I don't know how I managed to miss the notice of this videos arrival on my PC, but just 'discovered' it in the general video area. Thanks You Tube! Great video Andy,.. good shooting would be somewhat of an understatement, I think. What scope, make/model are you using on the Air Arms rifle?

[@andysrange8789]

Glad you got here in the end buddy and glad you enjoyed it 😄 it’s a hawke AirMax 4-12x40 ao (25mm tube, about £170) I’ve got 3 of them and it’s pretty much all I ever use. The perfect relatively “budget scope” in my opinion :)

[@regsparkes6507]

@@andysrange8789 " In my opinion " is what I like to hear. I am looking for a good scope for my Sako Finnfire II, and have been wondering about which one to buy. Thanks for your reply Andy.

Nice video! You made some amazing shots. I don’t think I’m that steady on a bipod. Lol Thus has nothing to do with this video but have you heard it done any more with the scopemate ?

[@andysrange8789]

Haha 😆 lots of practice I’ve got the nv20 now as well as the 30, going well, killed a fair few rats with it, got a trip next week which looks promising for a good bag

[@tpctrash]

@@andysrange8789 Thanks Andy. I think I’ll have to get one. I also think I like the nv30 better. Good luck on your shoot. Hope to see videos!

[@tpctrash]

Do you have any reasons that you like one over the other? Thanks.

[@andysrange8789]

Not really, I like how compact and sturdy the smaller one is but then you see more in the larger screen, all fors and against for both but both are excellent. I would definitely recommend the eagle vision collar though, makes the fit much better

[@tpctrash]

@@andysrange8789 thank you very much for the info and quick response.

Hello. A curiosity, which rifle are you using? Thank you..

[@hornetlm42]

Andy what's your thoughts on the s200 Will you be doing a review of your rat works hw100 And will your s200 be getting rartworks As I have both guns and thinkng of getting Ratworks treatment

[@andysrange8789]

Probably not so much of a review but I will certainly be using it which should be review enough 😆 if I use it it’s good!

Won’t get the 200 done I don’t think

[@simonrodgers7165]

Do you shoot with both eyes open Andy? If so, have you always done it, or have you retrained yourself to do it?

[@andysrange8789]

Yes, pretty sure I’ve always done it, I can’t really remember though :)

[@simonrodgers7165]

@@andysrange8789 Would be interesting to find out the negatives and benefits of both eye open, and eye close shooting... no idea how it could be measured accurately / realistically though!!

[@andysrange8789]

Well having one eye closed strains unnecessary muscles in the face, probably wouldn’t make any difference hunting 30 years with an Airgun but that’s what the Olympians and snipers do :)

.177 👍🏼

Also any tips on getting permissions. Most of the farmers seem a bit grumpy my way. Me and my mate want to go rat shooting at night time but are wondering whats the best way to ask them. You must have some knack as you seem to be getting new ones all the time, lucky bugger😁.

[@g.d.7629]

they make shotguns and you could shoot them in the field, but that would be sporting.

[@andysrange8789]

This is pest control not sport. The easier the kills and the more of them the better. If we would have got bigger bags with the shotguns, guess what we would have used?

[@airwavepaul]

I have a question Andy,, before you shot that pigeon in the barn, how did you know that it wasn't a racing pigeon just resting up ?? The answer is there was no way of knowing because you couldn't see it's legs,, I find this very bad sportsmanship on your behalf, I'll have a chat to you about this on the trails next time we meet,,,,

[@andysrange8789]

Feral pigeons are racing pigeons most of the time or descendants of racing pigeons. If a racing pigeon is resting up in a barn, in short it isn’t a very good one, and probably lost (as are most of the pigeons you see in our high streets) Knowing many local pigeon fanciers they would most likely neck the bird upon on its return anyway, they do not see the point in keeping a bird that is useless at the one job it is intended for (much like the old school gamekeepers would to their digs back in the day if the were useless) So, even if it was a racing pigeon (which it wasn’t) it was still defecating all over the milking equipment and I would lose no sleep in dispatching it.

[@airwavepaul]

@@andysrange8789 As a pigeon fancier myself you're answer couldn't be more from the truth, pigeons rest up for all sorts of reasons and not just because (you're words no good,,) bop attacks, line strikes, being "Shot At", and so on,, my question to you was before you took that shot how did you know it wasn't somebodys prize bird ?? You didn't because you couldn't see the legs for rings,, that's irresponsible on your behalf,,. I shall be putting you're reply to the racing pigeon forum to see what they think.

[@andysrange8789]

@@airwavepaul maybe I just know know the wrong pigeon people. If i could see a ring on its leg I wouldn’t have shot it. But if I had to see every leg of every bird i shot would then realistically none would get shot or at least not as many that need to be shot for an infestation on this scale. I might be wrong, maybe I should see the legs of all the birds I shoot before I pull the trigger. I shall have read and get educated if needed.

[@airwavepaul]

@@andysrange8789 but at least the right birds would be despatched and not somebodys property,. Pigeon owners are not all racing guys, a lot have fancy pigeons some have rollers and like myself have them as a pet,, I have a rescue one that is tame and free flys, he likes to explore and rome for hours, he stopped out one night caught out by the fading light, so he would of had to roost up somewhere, He came back next morning thankfully,, I just think it's a responsible thing to do and check to see if they have any rings on before you pull the trigger,, it's not all about how many you kill it's picking the right quarry and when to take it cleanly,, I have been shooting since the 80's too
