Episode 28 - These Should Be Licensed, shouldn't they?!

[@robrobertson1586]

I am an America living in Scotland. I have experience both sides of the coin. Licensing 12 ft pd pellet guns is overkill. You have more of a chance being seriously hurt or killed with a 12ft pds pellet gun by being hit over the head with it. Very slim chance being killed or seriously harm being shot by one. Hell! I know people that can throw a base ball with more power than a 12 ft pd pellet gun. England got it right. No license on sub 12ft pd air rifles.

Good show. The audio problems you have are mostly related to the reverb in your room. If you don't want to acoustically deafen the room it will help to turn down the gain on the mics and get them a little closer. I'm not complaining, just trying to help with your goals. Cheers 👍

[@TheAsa1972]

Why do you need ID to buy an Air rifle ? I got my first one out of my Aunties catalogue

[@mikecaine3643]

Yes - Today was a good show - I appreciate your opinions .A good chat between yourselves passes on useful information .

[@Getting-Older]

Great video and content. Got to say its great to have a down to earth RFD on my doorstep, wish i had time to get to the range!! Keep up the good work!.

[@paultowns9880]

I always enjoy the show no matter what the topic is. Love the useful information and genuine banter! Thank you.

[@richardchanning8465]

Sound pick up is fine. No need to lean into the mic. Doesn't drop off when you face away from the mic either.

[@richardchanning8465]

Have you considered multiple competitions for lower ticket items? Bi pod, bag, scope etc. As a run up to Christmas. Not a raffle but tickets for each item.

[@Ian-zt8bu]

Enjoyed the show today. I like the idea of a mix of chats and more reviews and tips for the future. What you were both saying about the licensing processes are so true. Keep up the good work.

[@peterwhitehead34]

Great show guys really interesting. As for the comp may I suggest scopes, night vision gear, tripods, range finders, chronographs, carbon fibre air tanks and any other accessories. I'm sure people out there would over the moon with winning something like that as some of those are out of reach or they can't justify the cost at todays prices. Keep doing what your doing guys 👍👍

[@paulbeese2665]

really enjoyed the chat tonight boys from start to finish dident now where the council bin thing was my self thought he was going for counciler of north wales loved it keep it up boys working well together

[@andrewturnbull9304]

Dead right about the Chrono Had a new BSA R12 had it a month entered a two day ukhft event so thought I’d check it, 12.7ft lbs using 8.4s. now waiting for it to come back from factory hoping it arrives in time otherwise two days entry and a hotel fee wasted. So glad I bought a chrono

[@silverback710]

Just touching on one of the points you made about the rifkes being tested.. I massively agree with this i bought a hw100new and imediately within 4 days of owning it it leaked was told by the shop it was doing 11.5ftlbs... anyway long story short it ended up being sent back to hull after first being sorted by the rfd...but 11 month later it was acctually sent to hc for a full reseal.. Anyway it came back from hc with a piece of paper stating the rifles preferred pellet ( weirhauch 4.53 8.4gr) and it's power being 11.3-11.4ft lbs However wen I then tested it over 2 chronos 1 being the rfds skaan and another being my personal fx the rifle was verry low on power doing 10.2 with weighed and sorted pellets this rifle then went back to hc and was sorted and now has came back doing 11.8ft lbs My issue is why wasn't this properly sorted first time and why aren't buyers advised imediately if there's any issues to bring back and an exchange will happen especially for me at the time I bought mine I was new to air rifkes so had no idea and once the problems persisted I was then without my rifke for about 12 weeks with the ongoing issues just seems mad that all rifles aren't by law required to be tested by both the manufacturer and by the seller Would personally give me more confidence and build without a relationship up with a buyer and the rfd

[@ianwoods1384]

Hello Gentlemen, Thank you for your latest show. I enjoyed listening to your general chat. I enjoy it being lighthearted and how you're both happy to have a laugh and pull funnies, in a mix of humour and then some more serious stuff. Although I've never really thought about it, you made me feel good about owning an air rifle in comparison to shotguns and FAC. In general, we airgunners always seem to be looking up to the more powerful bores and energies. However, like you explained, we are free to come and go. We don't require licences at the moment and generally less pressure to enjoy our sport. Of course, it's always nice to have more power, though if used properly, 12ftlb is no mean feet, and I've often surprised myself, pulling off a shot I didn't think would work. Great respect to you both. It's great to come home from work, another grueler, and listen to a good old natter/chinwag about air rifles and see them on the bench in front of you. Thank you, and best wishes, Ian.

Input regarding the raffles( although as I haven't yet entered one I may not be entitled to comment) but I was thinking of a first,second and third prize. I am one of those people who never wins anything although I was half a point off a million pounds pools win back in the '90's. Obviously the first prize couldn't be something as expensive as a vixen but maybe a £500 gun(there are a lot of good ones out there) , a scope, a tripod. Maybe a compressor as a prize as well.

[@AirRifleShootingUk]

Great video really like this format 😊😊

[@neilashton7569]

another epic... feature length ... just keep doing what your doing , its easy to relate to your content . on the gun prize thing something special to me would be something that isnt just a big price but a thing that you would never think about parting with . we all have something special that we would love to own because it is our idea of perfection ...

[@perki496]

Manufacturers could have a data base online with model and serial numbers on and owners could input info for their own weapons while they own them or just make it available for gunsmiths to input info and read only for joe public.

[@garethowen4920]

Love this idea thank you

[@moonbear1st]

when you say 18 with I.D. dont they still have to have someone 21 and over to accompany them? also its 8.54 or 20.54 on thurs and still 4 hours+ before the comp ends, so folk can still buy tickets..

Hi guys, love the show. A video I would love to see; your thoughts and observations on the process of setting up an air rifle range. There’s not a huge choice of ranges near me (as far as I can find out, I’m about 20 miles north of Worcester) and I have wondered whether it’s something I could do myself. I think it could be great for the popularity of the sport/ hobby if enthusiasts around the country established more ranges, or is this too much of a minority passion. Any thoughts? Keep up the great channel guys 👍

[@andyroberts865]

Always enjoy the show and buy tickets for every draw great job entertaining both beginners (me) and I'm sure more knowledgeable shooters. Can you share details of using thr range for new shooters such as how it all works, costs and hiring air guns? Also may e an experience option to be able to shoot different options spring guns, PCP and maybe premium option to show the difference and encourage upgrades. Great job keep growing

An others thought on a given away would be a gun from the past. I am in my sixties now, but back in teenage years I had a webley senior, and it would have been a hand me down then. Somethings from the past would be great. 😀👍

[@PeterLawrence-x6u]

Top show today, for one of your giveaways, why don't you do a safety pack? The best way to keep your gun, a chronograph, or why weight for the manufacturers to offer a service book, you could offer a deal with all your new guns of service recorded on a service card. The card could just show date sold, power on that, date serviced power at time of service, and of course a signature for each time you handle the gun. Maybe 10 stamps/signatures next one free/50' off. 🎉

I was looking at buying 5 tickets for last comp .when a came to pay ,it was adding postage and packing .why would I pay that if I haven't won and I would come and collect it anyway. So I didn't bother .maybe that's why other people didn't bother . Maybe I missed something but that put me off buying tickets. I would have been interested in any comp but not with that added cost .

Why can't you service your own rifle yourself , I'm an engineer and my rifles I tune to 10 .9 max giving me 10 percent variance , Joe public are capable , many trusted garages RIP you off and lie , that's why I do my own vehicle servicing , I recommend anyone NOT mechanicly minded to test the gun over a chrono at least monthly shot or not , and if unsure give it to a gun smith .
