I know this is an older video, but I always appreciate this lifestyle narrative where there is conservation, resourcefulness and wholesome hanging out with friends. Very peaceful.

[@septimusvermaak8814]

Great shot Luke

[@the.original.throwback]

Well done, Matt. I like how you depict the friendship and camaraderie of a hunting expedition. The hunting, shooting, and companionship all help provide an informative and enjoyable experience for your viewers. Jess

[@mikestone9129]

I miss SA and Rhodesia. Such a beautiful place and great people. Your videos are awesome.

[@coolnikish]

the cinematography and story telling will make a cinematographer proud, the video make it a live experience.

[@GreatPlainsKayakAngler]

Matt, that was great shooting and amazingly produced footage! That last part, I could nearly smell the fire, and taste the food, nice job guys!

[@iMuzzled]

This guy deserves more than just 120k subs

Been 3 years and now its about twice as much

[@Yanoo_z]

Hey Matt, Luke Kibble is a great addition to the channel. He is professionally and educationally useful for us and you tow are huge information sources for us, and very fun to watch. Best wishes and regards to you all from Saudi Arabia. Rayan..

[@mikeyclevenger5461]

Ruger air magnum is really good and accurate with dome pellets I am thirteen and was 12 when I got mine I love it hope this helps JESUS LOVES YOU

[@joelewis1074]

Watching these videos is such a fun escape from reality. Top notch work.

[@nelaballerevanth8570]

I loved the ending, where the skies lit with star lights!

[@danielwilson5102]

Love the night sky at the end! I have eaten pigeon before and can vouch that it is indeed very nice

[@tydengr]

I wish I have a place like this to hunt. Thank you

[@allenhuddleston4616]

Thanks Matt and friends . Another really great video showing some beautiful S. African scenery and well placed shots.So glad that you guys share the fact that the birds do not go to waste . The cooking footage made them look tempting.Ted at Tedsholdover on YT has a video for making pigeon pies with ready made flaky crust wrappings . Your cooking segment brought that to mind. Keep up the great work. Best of luck in your endeavors . The night sky shot at the end is amazing.

[@tshooter4419]

nice Job guys! Looked like you all had a good time!

[@abitofapickle6255]

My dad use to slay ground hogs with a Remington 40xB in .220 swift. Awesome channel

[@Smaug1]

Very good. I love that POK! when the pellet hammers the pigeon.

[@callumross406]

good old braii. used to live in zim and hunting was my favourite hobby

[@tuomasholo]

You guys make it look easy shooting out to 1000 meters when in fact I know it's not. Very nice equipment and beautiful country in SA.

[@fishingfever149]

your vids help a lot on which rifle to buy

[@zapz2101]

nice man, question. so with the impact setup how many shots you get with the heavier pellets? and how many with the 18g jsb's?

[@ddoyle11]

One of your best yet! Added to favorites. Thanks for posting!

[@brantcarley2821]

I love your videos and I saw you constantly I am an airgun enthusiast

[@zeddefy2264]

Great vid Matt keep up the good work!

[@RusBearRB]

Hi, Matt! Don't you want to try RusBear's ScopeCam? It will allow you to shoot as usual without camra on your scope and have 720p 200fps video and 1080p 100fps video as well as 2K 60fps and 4k 30fps video! It seems to me that it is not convenient to shoot as you do while video recording...

[@KRUGAHELIOX]

how much for the camara in ZAR? or USD?

[@RusBearRB]

Cornel Kruger starts from 300 USD

[@johnd.kelley6535]

Great shooting, great video. Keep up the good work.

[@pigbeater9286]

Just ordered the Aztec Emerald from AOA. Can't wait try it out!

[@muthuvel2334]

Hi I am from India how I buy this type of gun rifle

[@waitwhat4566]

Your videos make my day. Well done. Thank you.

[@macbradaigh152]

Hey Matt, In the next year or so, I'll be buying my first PCP. I'm a seasoned young shooter of powder burning rifles and I've become a more than proficient break barrel air rifle hunter over the last five years I've been using them (i can usually hit a .22 rimfire shell at 25 yds usually 3/5 or 4/5 shots), so I don't just want to get an entry level PCP and then buy a better one after that. Would you recommend buying the impact or streamline as my first PCP?

[@xman870096]

Fantastic video Matt, the shooting was of course spot on; but I wish to commend you on your video skills as well, the production is incredible!! In many ways better than the high dollar producers on the television. So kudos to you on that!! That final shot of the night sky with the stars was a perfect gem to end the video... BTW the food looked delicious, I know from experience it always tastes better when you harvest it yourself.....

[@tiasunepmollier5299]

best bird hunting video.... not only this but all of yours... keep it up...... N...I...C...E....

[@GeirErik]

Yet an other great video ! Thank you guys

[@keithrozeski8463]

Glad u r still making videos!

[@CaptGrimm]

I really enjoy your videos! I have a crosman nitro piston break barrel air rifle and lately it's been squeaking when I cock it. I thought it just needed some lube so I got some and dropped one drop down the compression chamber. I let it sit for a while then I shot again and it still squeaks when I cock it slowly. Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks

[@allaboutuni2912]

I liked this video it has full travel view aswell luv it.

[@shaunstevens1999]

very nice video Matt... was nice to meet you at Huntex.

[@johncreen5957]

Great video, to hear the bullet travel through the air before hitting the target , great pigeon shooting to, you must do some cooking vids on pigeon , dove, guineafoul etc Matt Dubber style lol

[@HunterOne_Productions]

Nice shooting. Well done.

[@silver_surfer_ZA]

Very nice video as usual. Do you import your equipment eg the Scope? I find it very hard to import - takes forever through customs

[@capt.bobroemer7784]

Hey Matt, from the state's. I think that I see some new energy coming from you. I knew you'd make it, man. Another exceptional video. KUTGWork

[@carsmax]

Hi Matt. one more. my new Bobcat´s airregulater is adjust at 148 bar and the gun have 32 fpe at high. Is it possible to adjust it down without loosing fps and fpe? what is good or even perfect for this gun????

[@dogemaster5622]

I like the sound the pellet makes when it makes contact with the bird

[@STAC1D]

Hi, have you managed to achieve acceptable accuracy with new design .22 monsters at 100meters? What is current results at this distance?

[@omarhammoud7223]

excellent video guys, what caliber is the streamline ?

[@andrerocha351]

Seus melhores vídeos Matt, São esses do controle dos pombos !!👍👍

[@rezguiamir2266]

you deserves more than just 120k subs

[@carsmax]

Hi Matt. Can you tell me how far a 18 grain pellet in .22 fly at 40-45 degree ? some say max 250-300meters . I can´t beliefe . thank´s

[@piukeyen]

Hey Matt! I've just watched your review on AA510 Performance & Accuracy. For a given valve design (which, sadly, has a regular hammer instead of an inertia hammer :/) If I want to increase power, would you suggest that I adjust the hammer spring tension or get a heavier hammer? What would be the pros and cons of each alternative? Thanks in advance for your reply!!!

[@KRUGAHELIOX]

what 25gr pellets are you using? i thought the 25gr jsb monster is really inaccurate? new desighn maybe?

[@BalderDye]

why do you only shoot with air rifles? I myself also like shooting with them, but I've always enjoyed using a bolt action rifle the most.

[@ToreDL87]

Because it`s an airgun channel :) And technically speaking, at these incline angles, bullets will go miles beyond the horizon. Matt won`t have control over where the projectile is going. ALWAYS have control over where the projectile is going! :)

[@amineboulehouajeb3573]

Perfect vidéo ☺☺

[@regsparkes6507]

I agree !

[@Nikel87]

Indeed =)

[@claussevandersson]

Hello What kind of hunting ammunition do you use when shooting the birds?

[@Mekratrig]

Matt, always good to see another Aeropress user. You must have as high a standard for coffee as you do for air rifles. 👍🏻

nice video 😶😀 continue on this way 👍👍

[@giovannicastignani524]

Hi Matt! Nice video! Thank you! Which Twist Rate works better for the new design/shape JSB 25.4 grains Monsters? I know you are using such pellets on the new smooth twist X barrels. I am looking to use them on a 600 mm BSA custom barrel with TR 19". Which speeds you think are the best in my case for such a TR and Barrel ? Thanks!

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

+Giovanni Castignani It seems to be less about twist rate and more about the choke & tightness in the barrel. I am still experimenting a bit...

[@giovannicastignani524]

OK - Let me know, please?

[@giovannicastignani524]

Which is the BC you measured for the new 25.4 grain Monsters?

I have a casio ex-zr4000. Can i use it for the scope camera? Thanks!

[@mayar9928]

hello,I live in Syria and there are no PCP air rifles that I know of,I have a .177 Slavia 630 springer air rifle, and I'm having a very hard time hitting house sparrows at 10 meters with open sights,do you advice me to get a scope for my air rifle or springers are just not accurate?the scopes here are pretty expensive I need an advice

[@ToreDL87]

Did you try a 5 shot group at a piece of paper @10 meters? Make a rest for the gun, draw a cross on the paper, aim at the cross every time. If pellets group far off your mark, adjust sights until you can hit the cross. If pellets just shotgun around the cross, try different pellets, if you find a pellet brand that makes a good group, adjust sights to get grouping on the cross :)

[@jasonroets9906]

What do you think the travel time of your 260 rem bullet for the 1000m target?

[@mettahuttravels3183]

Thank you gentleman.

[@pauljordaan9550]

What dish are you making with yhe doves?

[@le3045acp]

great vid but what is it with the .260 rem there are so many better calibers for what yall are doing just curious

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

+lee williams I don't think there are many better calibers. .260 Rem is one of the very best for long range precision shooting.

[@le3045acp]

I am of the opinion that you cannot outperform a given cartridge by necking it down and putting a smaller bullet in it. That said, If you shoot equal grain bullets of similar form design, the smaller caliber will win due to increased sectional density and subsequent higher BC. Now max potential of each, the larger of the two will typically have the favor. At least for energy down range/less windage. An example would be the 260/140 AMAX versus the 708/162 AMAX. The 162 is going to kick the crap out of the 140. More downrange energy, less drift, and a bigger hole to boot. Some may say that the 260/140 will be much faster. A little faster maybe. The fact is that equal barrel lengths in each caliber with equal cases and equal bullet weights guess which one is faster. The one with the bigger bore. The 708/162 versus the 260/140 velocities will be closer than you would think on the surface. You can apply the same principals to the 708/162 versus the 308/208. In this case though, the 208 is conciderably slower than the 708/162 but will hit with a lot more energy. Windage will favor the 162. Other factors to concider is that the one with the larger bore will have better barrel life but more recoil. NOW WITH ALL THIS BEING SAID i am in no way critisizing your choice in caliber just here in the states it is not the first choice and in your case the caliber is not as important as you Matt Dubber doing the calculations and taking the shot i just prefer the 6.5x55 for iighter bullet long range and for larger bullets i prefer .308 winchester i was more curious than trying to be critical thank you for the excellent job you have been doing and you ted si and others helped get me back into air guns

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

+lee williams If I was only shooting at closer ranges, I would have happily chosen a .308. But at 1000m, the 6.5 bullet will carry more energy and be affected by conditions a lot less. I could, in theory, load up a high BC .30 bullet, but it would be so heavy that I wouldn't get the velocities I need. You could ask the same question to .243 shooters... Why the .243 over the .308? They would probably give you a similar answer.

[@le3045acp]

the reasons you give make sense it was mostly curiosity like i was saying here in the states it is not a very popular caliber and the ammo is not readily available at the local places that sell ammo here you would have to drive 80k to buy factory ammo but i am like you and i load my own every thing from 32acp to 338 lapua

[@johnrios479]

wow,having that gun is my dream,,lol nice shooting,, i like ur video bro, keep it up,,

Does Matt have another channel that doesn't involve air rifles?

Great airgun hunting & lifestyle vid. The good life! Make more vids, make me even more jealous :-)

[@themilsmillwall4114]

Mat what pellets do you use in the fac m8

[@ettieneb]

Howzit Matt. Great seeing you keep up on the good work. I hope you find the means to do what you love forever. Just two questions - FX Streamline or AA S510 Extra FAC. Louie (airgunwarehouse) advised me to take the readily available fx rather than the AA S510. I was amazed at this as he always push to sell a AA. What is your thoughts. My only concern is the reliability. Read many reviews on the FX lack of reliability or rather the constant breakages and repairs to manage??? Secondly have you thought of changing the name of your channel. I mean you started it with your trusty AA S410 .177 back when I presume you still stayed at home. Now you have moved so far away from the air arms and you have also started incorporating the .260. I am all for the quality and pure respect you deserve on the work you do promoting PCP's but I do think its time to broaden the horizon. You are knowledgeable enough to teach other as I have learned from you. I'm also not recommending your channel becomes one like TiborasaurusRex but hey, with that amount of knowledge, you should share it. Ever though of designing and selling apparel for the avid hunter or airgun enthusiast? Keep up the good work and hope to meet you some day Regards from the Vaal

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

+ettiene botha The Streamline is a very reliable and well made PCP. Build quality of Air Arms rifles is amongst the best out there, but they are a little bit behind with the technical aspects of their design. Accuracy is good but air efficiency is a big issue, and they aren't regulated so velocities aren't very consistent... a big problem when you're shooting at longer ranges. Just my 2 cents. About changing the name: I don't think I will ever change it. It was a mistake to ever associate myself with one particular brand... I should have kept it completely neutral from the start. But I have built the channel under this name now, and it wil probably never change.

[@ettieneb]

You have not just created a channel but an identity associated with your expertise and professionalism. Regarding the AirArms, would it be wise still to purchase S510 (at a ridiculous cheap price) and just have a regulator installed? keep up the good work. regards

[@mlpmlp6988]

Ettiene, never ask a salesman/Dealer/agent of a specific brand what to buy. They will always push their own product. Airgun Warehouse used to be an Air Arms agent/dealer. They are no longer and have been replaced by Bushill RSA. They are no longer listed on the Air Arms website as a South African agent/dealer. When you look on the FX Airguns website however, you will see that Airgun Warehouse is listed there as a agent/dealer. Therefor I am not surprised at all that they are pushing FX instead of Air Arms of late. Not that there is anything wrong with it, I am just saying I would rather take the advice from Matt, with all his experience and knowledge, than to take advice from a salesman/agent/dealer.

[@ettieneb]

I have trusted Matt since the very first video I watched. the expertise and professional manner in which he conducts this channel is amazing. My concern with the AA vs FX was that i can get an AA S510 for R16000 new. A price i have not seen since 2012/3. Do I grab it and rather spend the bucks installing a regulator or not. then you have the reliability factor. Air arms has always bee precision made with exceptional build quality. Thus my questions. Went to Louie today to check out the Streamline (similar price) but it is not the same build quality or feel as the Air Arms. Any opinion on this issue please help?!?!?!?!?!? .

[@angrywormfishing]

Man! I want some pigeon too. :)

[@foresttower8005]

really good video mat keep them coming please whe are a group of friends from Uruguay and whe love your chanell ,here the air gun comunity is really small and even smaller is the air gun hunting ,we lukily can reach to air guns like a Gamo o if you have some more money you can get a wehiraunch (around U$1000 yes dolars)so the only whay that we have to see or learn some "CULTURE" IS FROM YOU KEEP ON IT GREETENGS Manuel Uruguay

[@wadevebru7163]

Just curios , why don't you just use a .22 suppressed with a subsonic round ? $2000 for a air rifle is kinda insane Edit: nothing against air guns! Keep up the vids 🤙🏼
