The Airgun Show - Airgunning action at the allotment

[@williamwilson2624]

Great video as usual Mark. This is a perfect example of why it's always a good idea to keep a roll of tape on hand.

[@Andy-ow2cx]

Great result Mark. Thanks for sharing.

Good session there fair play

[@OutdoorsBritain]

Excellent shooting as always Mark👍 you can't beat a bit of modern technology 😂 and a roll of tape 😂 all the best👍🇬🇧👍

[@IcenI_Koi]

Nice job Mark, can't beat a bit of insulation tape !

[@geoffers396]

And that's why i like sprinngers - no air or batteries required!

[@reservedone1791]

Let me guess.... you're more accurate with your springer than most with a PCP?

[@geoffers396]

@@reservedone1791 thats a strange comment, what has my ability got to do with it? My point was that my springers never run out of air and do not require any electricity to function, which means I don't have to carry a tank or strap a charger to the stock! Each to their own

[@reservedone1791]

@@geoffers396 Thanks for the insightful commentary Geoff. We'd never have known any of that...

@@reservedone1791 what's your problem sweet pea? Springers too difficult for you?

[@reservedone1791]

@@geoffers396 I'm just grateful for you pointing out that springers don't need compressed air or batteries. I don't think many people would have realised that. Thank goodness we have people with your vast experience to point these things out.

good shooting mark

Brocock delta wolf!

[@robs4509]

Ill have 2! 😉

[@260rips]

Yes I know slip of the tongue there! They are however one and the same company 👍

[@COOPERSCICHILDS]

Cool shooting

[@matthewbean4287]

Like pcp they are accurate and great but pumping all time or getting dive bottle filled up costs I had airarms s410 now just stick to my springers so much more reliable considering a gas ram as you can leave cocked longer than springer

[@reservedone1791]

How long do you plan on leaving your rifle cocked?

[@heathhalfhill6401]

Setting here watching this video and it hit me just how much it cost to kill a few bunnies with this setup…bloody hell! Hope they taste that good😉 All jokes aside…nice bit of kit.

Brocock Delta Wolf..Oooops

🤷🏻‍♂️yep slipped up there but they are however the same company so no real harm done!

That’s a great tripod ; what make is it ?

[@260rips]

It’s the Rekon ct-1 carbon fibre tripod from Scott country, these are not cheap but they are seriously good bits of kit - currently in use with uk police marksmen 👍

[@MrOldclunker]

I took a groundhog today with my cheapo .177 pellet gun. He will not be eating my garden any longer.

[@doomfathertm8771]

Pretty sure it says Daystate on that gun :D editors do best when they are actually interested in the subject at hand :D

[@260rips]

Apologies for the slip of the tongue on that one! Brocock and daystate are one and the same company, they sent down 3 rifles to use and 2 were Brocock so easy to miss the obvious! I can assure you that I for one am very interested in airguns even after 40 years of using them 😉👍

[@doomfathertm8771]

@@260rips Is this actually you Mark? Didn't think you were the one editing.. Don't worry I am well aware of your experience. I'm a big fan and a fellow fox / rabbit shooter. I'll head over to your 260 channel which I never knew about to be honest and give you a sub.

[@le3045acp]

prime example why not to use a electrically actuated air rifle for hunting if not charged it is uselesseverything it does can be achieved with a gold standard such as a daystate huntsman of any variant no battery reguired

[@reservedone1791]

No, it's a prime example of the need to prepare properly.

[@le3045acp]

@@reservedone1791 you can always hand pump for air when there is no power but if there is no electricity because the power grid is down you are screwed that was my point no electricity you cant be prepared

[@reservedone1791]

@@le3045acp I'm not sure where you live Lee but fortunately the power grid where I live is pretty reliable, and if there is a power cut it only lasts an hour or two. Not buying/using a Delta Wolf because you are concerned about power outages is pretty odd.

[@MrNienh]

He didn’t do Daystate a favor.

[@260rips]

Daystate and Brocock are the same company so no real harm done with that little slip up!

[@marko5766]

Perfect example of why "smart" guns will never be accepted by the masses.

[@reservedone1791]

Except they are - Red Wolf, Alpha Wolf - just two of the best rifles ever made. This video proves nothing other than the need to properly prepare before hunting/pest controlling.

[@felgate11]

What's .177 about?? - when they are hit with a .22, they stay hit!! (maybe the pellet makers just want to charge the same for less Lead & the gun makers, pander to it) We are talking 10 to 45 or so yards pest control here. (for a clean kill) Flatter Trajectory is Bollocks until one gets into Target & Match shooting!! (In my humble opinion of course) Oh yes, & most 177's are not Match grade rifles!! (Same Hole PCP's are not allowed for this discipline)

[@matty1255]

Both have their place on the market, 177 is effective on everything you can legally hunt in the UK with an airgun. I can honestly say I have never thought my 177 needed more stopping power. I own both 177 and 22 and hunt with both.

[@milstuff4530]

Same video from yesterday,. BS

[@260rips]

Same thing every week - the airgun section is repeated on the shooting show too for anyone that hasn’t realised yet 👍

[@greylag8630]

"Can't expect too much, hunting with the air gun after all" Mark's a great shot and all, but maybe try and find someone with an ounce of passion for airgunning to present The Airgun Show 🤦‍♂

[@260rips]

When I said can’t expect too much hunting with an airgun I meant because of the need to get closer to the quarry. Shooting with a rimfire allows for much more forgiving shot placement, longer range shooting and better wind deflection, shooting with a shotgun allows for shots on the move … your obviously going to shoot less with an airgun over anything else!?? As for passion for airguns I probably own more than the average airgunner and have been using them for 40 years and still love shooting them. The air rifle is a precision tool for which it has a place in every pest controllers armoury. Why is it people are so quick to jump on every single comment they think they can pick holes in or turn into a negative with no basis but assumption?

[@greylag8630]

@@260rips okay okay - I put my hands up, it was a little negative. However it came across as a throw away statement about air gun hunting. Yes, I’ve been out lamping at night with 12bores on a Landy and we’ve come home with 50+ bunnies in a few hours but tbh I enjoy my time out with a thermal and NV with my sub 12 far more and I’ve shot WAY more rabbits in total with an air gun. I don’t shoot FAC, so can’t comment on that, but perhaps a little more context to your statements would clarify things? I guess I’m a little protective of the air gun community as It seems to me like we are a dwindling sport esp as BASC etc seem to have little or no respect for the air gun world.
