How dang cool were those homeowners to let you take pictures on their porch!!? Now THAT'S neighborly! Now don't get me wrong, considering what state you're in, they armed to the teeth!!! Aaa, frigging AMERICAN!!

[@MrKeith57]

The slow mo's never get old. Great footage!

[@Thegoofyairgunner]

After watching the rest of the video and your dialogue at the end reminded me that as a American that has traveled all over the states that we really do have a ton of natural diversity and for someone used to Africa would be as amazed as I would be going to Africa. We have everything from from swamps to desert and tropical paradise to some of the most dramatic weather in the mountains. The blue ridge mountains in my backyard would be a whole new world to someone not used to bear, bobcat and coyotes

[@DirtyDibs]

Gettin it done Matt love to see it!! We need to see more of the .35!!!🎉🎉🎉

[@MrRebar15]

*AirArmsHuntingSA* Bravo well done, thanks fellas for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless.

[@HKSTurboBRZ]

Gotta say it’s kinda crazy that I started watching you over 7 years ago. I made my mom buy me a pellet gun and I was terrible. Crazy what has changed, glad to see you in America again.

[@visamedic]

I love listening to the dialogue…makes me feel that me and my shooting buddies aren’t psychos. ‘We gotta hit a pigeon with a .35 cal…..”. 😂🤣😅🥲

[@icecole8708]

facts we all just boys at heart

[@scottmichael3745]

Slamming video my friend! I grew up in the mid west, and yeah, we got "hills", and we got some serious flat land (I now live in Florida) but these vids remind me of home. Such beautiful country! Big fan of the channel bud. And the boys at FX 68 Whisky, ect. Thanks all.

[@bigfranksworld]

Excellent series. Thanks for taking us along...

[@Scba4242]

Awesome video. Especially since I am a Utah res. Keep it up. I was lucky enough to live is South Africa around Durban when I was younger. Keep up the great videos

[@chrisfigueroa3361]

Awesome video guys Matt you are the reason the air gun world is changing all the time because of you and a few others but mainly you, I know people have been shooting slugs way before you but in these past 6 years or so it's because of you that's way you see all these other companies making air guns that can also shoot slugs thanks buddy for your great ideas thanks for sharing be safe buddy 👍🏻

[@bretlawson924]

Really enjoyed the video Matt. Nice perspective on the .30 vs .35 in a hunting scenario and really apples to apples for challenges. I am inconclusive as to which I will choose but most likely the .30 as it seems to have an edge.

[@mogale2009]

I need to apply for 30 cal license in South Africa I really enjoyed this one... Thanks Matt and company

[@ToreDL87]

Matt said rules around air rifles are vague over there, to the tune and point that if you do get a license they might still simply revoke it at any time. IMO not worth the risk when .22 will let you reach out anyway.

[@donaldlundy345]

Awesome video Matt you guys were definitely having fun smacking Rock chuck's and that one area had never ending targets. Cheers

[@thebeardedairgunner]

Absolutely phenomenal work as always brother!!!! Love watching you work!

[@mthiessen134]

Awesome video footage Matt. I have the same rifle. Still pretty much stock. Out of all my rifles, it’s the most fun to shoot. Cheers from Canada

[@EDgunLeshiy]

that's interesting about the weights... will have to try that as I'm venturing into some larger cal stuff here shortly.

[@rarevidz]

LOVE yer Work Matt..... I look forward to these Videos!

[@oneofthosepeople2101]

I want to seethe video when you guys get pulled over in that creeper van. 😅

As always a great video

[@WildCJ5]

Matt, would love to see a video just on the van. Vote for Pedro!

[@marlon.himura.76]

Have you thought about painting the back of the projectile orange, to better visualize the trajectory?

[@kauabarros9638]

That double impact shot was ELITE! 🫡💥💥

[@RusBearRB]

Excellent footage!

[@ObikHunting]

Amazing vidio matt👍👍👍🤝

[@AESwede]

Fix yourself a dang quesadilla! You were in my neck of the woods with Thayne and Val. Great rock chuck hunting here although Thayne and Val seem to clean a lot of them up in the creeper van. I shot and counted just under 200 rock chucks last spring here in cache valley and made a few youtube videos of that. I love my Impact. Most shots were between 120 and 250 yds.

[@austinpaul2170]

That’s my home town area ! The pic with the lake where the high way with water on both sides is dry lake in sardine canyon ! I have rolled a truck right there and I have killed 15 coyotes and a few nice bucks in that spot !!!

[@irullhunter1416]

It is absolutely beautiful there. Love your videos.

[@404nitro]

Excellent!

[@sabetarach]

Hello Matt and thank you for the great videos. Which of the 2 calibers do you prefer from .22 or .30 and why please? Thanks again for the great shooting and content

[@ph044930]

Awesome shooting all those calibers. Love your channel.

[@fingersmcgillicuddy]

I bet you I can throw a football over them mountains ⛰️ 🏈

Beautiful Airgun 💖💖💖💖

[@icecole8708]

18:40 was cool asf

[@Fernando_Woolybooger]

Can't wait for the Theos to be available. Maybe in 2023?

[@davidcool6879]

Hi how did you get your GRS stock ? I also want one but I dont know where

[@leetheriderforlife7548]

How do you put two air bottles on the FX M3 impact and does it lost longer or 100% longer

[@franciscocarvalho2424]

always on and wishing you much success fan from Brazil 👏👏😃😃 show as always spectacular videos

[@franciscocarvalho2424]

@AirArmsHuntingSA. Coco very affection and respect was happy for such kindness

[@franciscocarvalho2424]

I'm Brazilian and it's been difficult for a long time to make this simple request a picture of you with high graphics can be sent by gmail if you can just reply and I'll send you the contact gmail

[@Edydisouza]

Top ,todo dia vejo seus vídeos Tanto as imagens do scopecam, quanto as carabinas são tops Se um dia der certo ainda vou comprar um fx impact e um scopecam desse

[@edmuba250183]

Amazing video as always and suberb shooting. Would you prefer .30 cal if legal in SA or would you stick with .22 high power for hunting with slugs?

[@lyndonhamby7432]

Heck yeah brother 👍👍

[@chrisbeling7350]

😂awsome bud

[@decal1751]

Your spotter should be reminding you of your over/ under hold when he tells you the range and windage imo 🤷‍♂️😉👍

[@DropDieter]

Dynomite video!

[@ilocanosniperph4073]

Happy hunting sir

[@derrickmitchell39dm]

Those chucks seem to move out the way before impact. I wonder if they can see the projectiles coming.

[@erasmoalaniz]

I'm sure some on has probably asked. In watching the video I noticed on the 30 and 35 the shroud looked to be different from factory. The silencer/suppressor with gold ring seem to be new. Can you please tell us if it's a different barrel...tension kit...shroud...suppressor etc

[@timikapapuavlog]

Nice brother

[@beyondtwominutes]

What's crazy is Matt was within an hours drive of me on this trip! Small world being how I grew up just over the mountain from preston. Wishing I knew where that pile of rocks is! 😉

[@aaabeverages7152]

Africa is the single largest land mass on the planet. It's impressive to see the beauty and danger.

[@ngamshim]

Nice sharing bro

[@brandonbarber4176]

😯😍 wow.. the odds..amazing

[@MrPerezaaron]

What barrel liner are you using on the 30?

[@muddgeeser]

madoc was a welsh explorer 1500 years ago.he covered most of the gold mining areas in ontario.

[@thehunterofmadura]

Amazing 👍

[@Pham-Khoa]

sorry . can you tell me where did you buy the gold grip ?

[@catherineharris4746]

68gn parachute!💗😂😂😂😂👏👏👍

[@Armadurapersonal]

man that's some insane shooting. For those distances I'd rather use a .17hmr or a .22mag because I'm not that good of a shot, I keep my airgun shooting short range.

[@_007B]

7:56 that’s the best view My only question.. why not use a .204 Ruger and just end everything in sight between 500 meters..? In Midwest America that’s how we handle pests

[@eddiecahall3824]

Nice! I keep saying .30 cal is the way to go! I have .25 .30 and .35cal the 35 is making double the fpe of a 22 rimfire! No BS what you all think about .25 or .30 in the Panthera model rifle???cool video. Hey sta sligin that sweet air rifle lead! Ed da pro snippin air man 💥👇💪😱😱😱

[@chiao62]

why does the Impacts have Gold thread adapter??

[@MontanaAirGunner]

Those .30 were laserbeamz. What was the ammo being used on it?

[@kurniawanseptianto1022]

[@banyundoleza4928]

The way I need that Air rifle, have been following you for a long time Now.

[@bloodops3751]

Damn you guys need to put a spotting scope on top of the van

[@johnparker-tn1os]

To day is Jan 11th, 2023? 8 days ago there was a foot of snow on the ground. That is Utah and Idaho for you, blink and there is snow.😄

[@jimbo3615]

Looks to me like you hit that first chuck pretty hard in the snout.

[@Thegoofyairgunner]

So that’s right around 145 fpe with those 65 gr right? I’m not really surprised that you had to blur out the wall shots. Another busy video! Take care and keep the footage coming brother!

[@robingibson7503]

Where did you get the Element Theos?

[@ncairguner]

Great video! How do you use your center point of scope instead of mil dot ?I zeroed the scope in 50 yards and I shoot the target in 80 yards with second mil dot , 90 yards third mil dot and so on but you no matter what distance only use the center of your cross chair !

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

I am dialling the turrets for each shot, not using the reticle👍🏻

[@ncairguner]

@@AirArmsHuntingSA but how do you dial it ? I mean how do you do the measurements to dial ?

[@surreallife777]

What's your opinion? I decided to go with the 25 caliber air rifle 1100 FPS I think around 80 FPE. I'm going to most likely change the barrel to a barrel that is set up for Slugs. In terms accuracy and energy/penetrating power is there a not a happy medium in terms of caliber and slug choice? This is an accuracy lethality question. Have you concluded what your favorite caliber is overall in terms of accuracy and long distance penetrating/energy FPE at 100 yd to 200 yd plus? If for example you are shooting long distances say 200 yards plus at 3/4 inches of pine wood which is considered the standard, perhaps a 25 caliber slug will be more accurate and consistent at these distances as compared to a 30 and 35 caliber slug because of the higher weight of the larger slugs causung a higher drop off angle and more of a loss of enegy as compared to a 25 caliber slug?

[@DanielGarcia-zw8nx]

I bet you wish you could take that 30 cal back home to S.A.

[@marksonfernando6434]

Amigo como faço para comprar as peças desse rifle????

[@duane5021]

Do you eat what you kill? Just started watching you guys so I'm curious.

[@lindso6105]

🤠awesome

[@user-dn8ut1oh1g]

Nice matot

[@brandonbarber4176]

I counted 18 from start of frame right, to edge of the rock panning left

[@bayonne]

Is that scope Mildot or MOA
