Thanks a lot, mate, I really appreciate it 🙂🤝

[@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.

[@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 🤝

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.

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!

I ve been using Zan projectiles, and they perform much better than pellets, but the sound of impact is much louder, and scares the pigeons

[@AirRifleActivities]

I completely agree, bud. But then again, every time you hit one of the sky rats the rest leave the area at least for a while, no matter how loud the sound of impact is.

I just bought the rti priest Alex few weeks back but being honest i caunt get on with cocking bolt, so iv decided to swap the trigger block out with the trigger block of a prophet, nice side cocking lever, 👍👍😁😁

[@AirRifleActivities]

Yes, mate, the straight pull cocking of the Priests was not exactly what you would call smooth or easy... You did the right thing IMO.

[@terrybingley6242]

Quite simply, Great shootin.

[@AirRifleActivities]

Thank you so much, Terry 🙂

[@manuelzamora9288]

I was trained by the US ARMY on shooting long distance. I will say that you are one hell of a shot!! you know how to use the DOPE on your weapon system very well and accurate!

[@AirRifleActivities]

Thanks a mil, Manuel, it really means a lot coming from a sharpshooter with military background 🤝

[@eddiecahall3824]

Now this is a much better air rifle than that other thing you try to tote around by far! Love the RTI. Nice shooting boss! Hey, sta slingin that sweet air rifle lead! Ed da pro snippin air man💥👇💪😱

[@AirRifleActivities]

😄 That "other thing" 😄 You mean the L2. They both have their application, mate. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers 🙂

[@eddiecahall3824]

@@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. At least a 580cc to 700cc bottle tank on an air rifle. With 350 to 550 shot capability. I know you think those other air rifles are very cool but they are not! The RTI is close. Just saying

There's the pooper🤣👍. The crime and the punishment

[@phillipmatthews2531]

Loving your videos,you are pulling off some fantastic shots,but l can’t help thinking you’ve got a job for life there with the way they are breeding 👍,keep them coming,many thanks 🙏

[@AirRifleActivities]

You're not wrong, Phillip, they nest in neighbouring properties where the owners do nothing about it... I won't give up nonetheless - we've already reduced their numbers and we'll make sure we keep them low 😉 Thank you, friend 🙂

Excellent job the Zan slugs really do hit hard😂

Indeed they do, Robert, thank you 🙂🤝

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.

Wooaah that 8:48 slowmo headshot was crazy! 💯 I was wondering how many joules can deliver with the pressure regulator setted at max pressure? Keep it up bro! 🫡

[@AirRifleActivities]

Thank you, friend 🙂 I've never went that high, but they tell me the K1 can go up to almost 90 foot-pounds.

[@ferrari458it2]

@@AirRifleActivities wich model do you mean?

[@AirRifleActivities]

@@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.
