The Airgun Show - feral pigeons, collared doves and crows on the farm, PLUS the Daystate Renegade

The crops are in and flying pests are making a nuisance of themselves on the farm. Mat Manning heads out with feral pigeons, collared doves and crows in his sights.
On the test bench this week, it’s the Daystate Renegade. This hybrid bullpup combines a mechanical action with an electronic trigger to give you the best of both worlds - see how it performs on the range.

Matt's enthusiasm is likable, encourageable, enthusiastic and makes me want to come back to watch more videos. I swear it is something about the way he celebrates his victories and shrugs off the defeats.

Great sport. And a very important service to the farmer

[@BradBrassman]

I am just getting back into airgunning again after a break of about thirty years! Boy have things moved on since a home-made motorbike battery lamp (at night) and my trusty Airsporter S.

[@davekendo2085]

Great shooting Matt, good to have you back!

[@theshootingshow]

Thanks Dave. I was back for the previous episode if you've not yet seen that one. All the best. Mat

[@ivanhita4726]

Shooting doves and pigeons is my favorite winter sport. I bought my 1st pellet gun so ready to get some birds!

[@theshootingshow]

Thanks Ivan. It can certainly make for some very productive shooting. All the best. Mat

[@regsparkes6507]

Another most enjoyable show Mat, thanks for the good content. ( I like the 19 plus minutes of video !)

[@theshootingshow]

Thanks Reg. Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers. Mat

[@ads1x]

Thank you, Mat. Glad you like what we're doing. All the best. Mat

Nice job shimming the scope mounts to clear the mag Mat. Film's less available these days, but a more available material is soft drinks cans. Empty and rinse the can, then cut it with kitchen scissors; one bonus with can shims (whether alloy or steel) is you can leave small tabs, that when bent over prevent the shim from falling out.

[@nigelhumphreysfsuk2833]

Brilliant show mat as always

[@theshootingshow]

Thanks Nigel. All the best, Mat

[@Marcus___70s]

Great show Mat mate keep up the good work buddy

[@theshootingshow]

Thanks Mark. All the best. Mat

[@chrisg4270]

Excellent review of the Daystate Renagade. It's not getting the recognition it deserves. I'm after the FAC .22 ,33 ftlb one,but non of my gun shops stock them unless I order one to buy I can't hold/touch one first..I might have to have a trip to the Daystate factory if that's possible..once again top review.

[@theshootingshow]

Thanks Chris. It is an excellent airgun, and I'd imagine it would be pretty impressive in FAC. Hope you manage to get your hands on one soon. All the best. Mat

[@jamesbeale7314]

Your rely good Matt I like shooting air rifle my self there amazing I love the farm ones what u just did its amazing thanks James in nuneaton

[@daveno144]

Welcome back Mat

[@theshootingshow]

Thanks Dave - it's good to be back. I was back for the previous episode a fortnight ago if you haven't seen it. All the best. Mat

[@daveno144]

Ops so you were - my bad :-) I reckon you need one more piece of kit Mat and that's a game bag.

[@blackbear9326]

Very interesting as usual Mat. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@theshootingshow]

Thanks very much. All the best, Mat

[@umaxen0048]

I am looking for a decent air rifle which will last me a few decades. It has to be a break barrel rifle, conservative, wood stock and exceptionally good reliability and easy self-servicing. I'm thinking $180 to $400 USD, but under $300 would be better... Any info would be appreciated.

[@TheRandomsongs2012]

Umaxen 00 look for a gas ram rifle as they typically last for longer than a springer

[@billy4072]

nice twang, I can hear that in Scotland.

[@hunter100t]

Nice shooting round the farm yard Mat, That bull pup on test would drive me mad with its ping on firing, I think we have enough bull pups now, fad over and lets get back to traditional rifles ! atb phil

[@theshootingshow]

Hi Phil. Must admit, I tend to favour a traditional rifle myself. All the best. Mat

[@silverbob999]

are the birds all head shot or H/L or both just wondering some seem to drop without a flutter others flapped a bit !! great program tho keep em coming

[@theshootingshow]

Good question. There were some of each, depending on how the bird was presented to me - which isn't always clear from the camera angle. As you say, the heart/lung shot ones can take a few seconds to expire (as per the first shot in this video). Mind you, it's surprising how much head shot birds can flutter - just from nervous reflex. All the best. Mat

[@iqbal_candra]

i like this video....👍 what i can shoting like that with my multipump air rifle... I am from Indonesia.... so many pigeon around here...

[@ehsanali7353]

don't you have new videos???

[@fedaykeen]

Ivehad a few shots of the electronic version and have owned a few daystates in my time and i was not happy with any of them, yes on a technical front it is quite clever, but i have a hw100 in uk legal limit and ibet a pound to a pinch of salt the hw100 will shoot easily as accurate and at £750 new it is half the price and indeed a *IMHO* better rifle.. So mr Baker stick that in yonder pipe and smoke it...

[@rachelthompson9324]

why are pigeons considered pests, and why are you not eating them?

[@theshootingshow]

Hi Rachel. These pigeons pose a hazard as their accumulated droppings can contaminate animal feed and water troughs. They also eat a lot of animal feed, which can become costly when numbers spiral. Around the farm, the result is similar to rats. Feral pigeons are not regarded as being good for the table as they live in dirty, and often very cramped, conditions and tend to carry disease. Collared doves, which visit the farmyard to feed but tend to live in the open countryside are cleaner living and can be very good to eat - I often eat them. All the best, Mat

qual o valor de uma dessa?

[@indraaccuracy352]

great hunting

[@theshootingshow]

Thanks. Mat

[@OllyKilo]

The Renegade sounds like it needs a depinger.

[@575hobbit]

can you eat collard doves

[@rhinenio]

cocking lever too far back for me on the renegade

[@radomillion]

Where there's water there is doves

[@michal.abramowicz]

You should not shot overhill! Please shot only when you have option that when you miss then your bullet will hit some wood, wall, ground. NOT OVER HILL! If miss then yours bullet fly away and can hurt people or destroy something! ps: nice shooting!

[@geoffpickford1829]

That's an awful lot of money for an air rifle where the scope is so high above the barrel, Daystate failed on that one!

[@gummyroid]

PLEASE !Get rid of that stupid intro sound/music !!!!!!

[@fedaykeen]

Typical of Daystate an overpriced lump of ugly. Lots of pcp's half the price are as good if not better than that...

[@bakerg21]

I take it you've thoroughly tested it vs these half price guns yourself?

[@hunter100t]

Lots of vids on Utube that prove just that point, Daystate try and price most out of the market of buying their stuff in an effort to look regal and attract high end clients, problem is an awful lot of their stuff has to go back for repair or adjustment, so not so high end are they, just expensive.

[@laurieharper1526]

Don't know about overpriced, but you're dead right about the looks. FX and Brocock manage to make their similar offerings look good. Why not DS?

[@hunter100t]

Laurie Harper I know what you mean, but, DS huntsman is a lovely looking rifle and the reason its the only one I own by them, and the price which is realistic !

[@chakarpiu2235]

hablas demasiado, y poca acción -

[@deaczorz]

damn that daystate rifle is ugly

[@julianrace6125]

This is horrible. 👎👎

[@aggabus]

no such thing as feral pigions
