The Airgun Show - day and night hunting for crows and rabbits, PLUS Pellpax HW110 kit on test…
We join Richard Saunders on a farm where corvids and rabbits are causing problems. Although there’s a chance of bagging a crow or two by daylight, the bunnies are proving wary and it takes a nocturnal approach to bring them to book.
Combo packages offer great value for money, and we’ve got the Weihrauch HW110 Carbine Deluxe Kit from Pellpax on the bench. Apart from a brilliant air rifle, this kit also include a 3-9x50 scope with mounts, bipod, silencer, lined hard case, ammo, and even a three-litre air bottle. Tune in to see what Mat makes of it.

Great video ! I know what it's like to sit out in the cold and wind for hours watching for quarry, so I can appreciate the effort.

[@Pete-in-Essex]

Good session from Richard. + Great stuff as always Mat..

[@arpc]

Another excellent episode guys! The BSS 2020 was a great day. I got to chat to Mat for a few minutes. Really nice guy! He confirmed something I was wondering for a while... Nicky, is real. Not this imaginary person Mat blames when he's cold and wants to go home! 😂😁 Cheers! 👍

It's not the numbers as much as the accuracy of the shooting,..in this case it's a win. I like that HW110!

[@gregcroon6768]

Matt! I’ve come totally hooked on your episodes. I notice you identify much of the equipment and clothing, but I’m desiring to know who makes your camo wool jeep hat and your camo head balaclava. I really like what appears to be a tie back on forehead. Awesome to watch hunting across the pond. Keep up the great work and thanks in advance.

matt could you do a hunting video with the 110k ? would love to know how it performs and your views on it . great vids keep them coming.

[@abidkhan6139]

Great ATN great I am Impresses from ATN. Please forward my suggestion to ATN company use any possible way that company need improve the ATN marge the ABL under the ATN install the ABL Technology under the ATN in one package I know from this addition increase the price & weight of ATN but company need to make two type of ATN the first one is this one & the second one is new which include ABL. Because benefits of this addition we are not measure distance manually for hunt also not use extra Rangefinder/ABL for this purpose I hope the ATN action about my opinion Thanks.

[@richardhartley6777]

When you going to do a review on the pard 008 Mat ?

[@Ambushcraftnhunting]

What camera is Richard using to record his taking as I'm after a video camera to do that or what you and nick use thanks matt

[@SouthOZHobbyHunter]

Hi Guys just wondering why Richard is not using the Ballistic computer that is built into the ATN? Is it just because he had not tested it prior to the shoot or is it just that he is Old School and like to use hold over ETC? Either way still a great hunt. Stay safe and shoot straight Brothers.

[@cuzo4x4]

Can I ask how cold was it when you were doing the review ??

[@jamesdenny4734]

Matt, that 3L bottle look more like a .3L bottle

Nice shooting, but it looks like an infra red imager not a thermal.

[@toddhunter5693]

can weihrauch bring thiscomboto poland?

[@Wolverineverminshooting]

Great video matt, I thought the atn had a built in range finder

[@richsaunders6515]

Hi Wolverine. It does, but the onboard range finder requires you to frame your target between two cursors and then calculates the distance based on the size of what you are ranging - I think the options are a hare, pig and deer. The ABL rangefinder uses a laser beam, like a conventional range finder, and in my experience is a lot quicker and easier to use, and more accurate. I hope that helps.

[@Wolverineverminshooting]

@@richsaunders6515 I thought it would be like the pard nv008lrf

[@richsaunders6515]

@@Wolverineverminshooting From what I understand, the ATN ABL is similar to the LRF on the PARD 008 LRF.

[@johnallen8618]

I've got the ATN4K PRO With the ABL, but why is Richard using hold over and under, why isn't he using the ballistic calculator, which you get with that combination

[@richsaunders6515]

Hi John. I've tried it several times but can't seem to get consistent with it. I've been shooting so long with hold over and under it seems like second nature now.

[@stillarifleman]

What make was the tripod?

[@richsaunders6515]

I got it from UK Shoot Warehouse. Its been great - lasted a lot longer than the well-known brand I used before and half the price.

[@chopperhehehe]

Great programe but do think 50pound o presure at the distances he was shotting at was over kill I think he needs more practise lol 👍👍👍😜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦄🎣😁✌️

[@richsaunders6515]

Thanks Chopper. I know its different for everyone, but I limit my 12 ft. lbs. hunting to 30 metres with a .22 and 40 metres with a .177. When I know shots over that distance are likely I use an FAC rifle. I know people will come on here and say they shoot 50 metre plus with their 12 ft. lbs. gun, but I can only talk to my limitations.

[@chopperhehehe]

Your an honest man Rich everyman to there own hats off to you for that am sure there will be more off you on programe so all good 👍👍👍😜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦄🎣😁✌️

[@markbatchelor5863]

Shooting a crow up in a tree with 50 ft lb fac rifle is abit daft in my book, if you had missed god knows where that pellet would have gone, and go on say it's all fields behind, that old chestnut lol not having a pop but think of your backstop!!

[@richsaunders6515]

You make a good point about always thinking about safety Mark. Please be assured that I had 350 acres of open ground to work with, and a good safe backdrop.

[@bluewater454]

A 50 fpe rifle in the UK???? This hunt was done in the UK, correct?

[@ThePhil543]

Yup anything over 12 foot pounds is held on permit FAC

[@richsaunders6515]

Yes, that's right. You need a firearms certificate for air rifles over 12 ft. lbs. in the UK.

[@TacticalPlumber]

Airguns my ass, thats basically a .22 bring back an old breakbarell

[@whiteboardhistory4655]

Can you eat squril

[@Holeyguagaamoley]

Rabbits I understand but why kill Crows, am I missing something?

[@richsaunders6515]

Not sure if you caught the part in which I explained that sheep are lambing on the farm all year round. Crows will attack very new-born sheep and heavily pregnant ewes that topple over and can't get up. They target the eyes and mouth. Not pretty...I hope that helps explain.

[@gammonbaldy1765]

Why FAC when most people use 12lb?, real air gun shooters on you tube use sub 12.

[@richsaunders6515]

Hi Baldy. The farm is quite heavily pressured and although its possible to get closer, most of the rabbits present themselves at 40 metres plus, even in the dark. Hence, the added range of the FAC rifle is helpful. As I said in the film, the farm is also quite open and nearly always has a strong breeze so the heavier .25 pellets help with that too. Most of my hunting and pest control is with a 12 ft. lbs. rifle but for the reasons stated here, and in the film, an FAC on that venue is more effective. I appreciate not everyone is fortunate to have an FAC, but I am and it makes sense to use the best equipment for the environment. I hope that helps.

[@gammonbaldy1765]

@@richsaunders6515 really, I've just watched a video of you and your mate shooting from a truck and your mate is using sub 12 and he is doing alright, but you are using FAC ,
