The Airgun Show - mega squirrel hunting, PLUS Ballistically Brilliant Chronograph on test

[@naiad001]

I am a Brit living in North America for the last 13 years. Watch all your videos they're great. Had a bit of a giggle at this one as I heard the word Faff, which I haven't heard in 13 years.

[@mitchellnix5274]

As always Matt, an excellent show. I have learned a lot from your videos and your book. My shooting partner and I have recently had our first opportunity to shoot squirrels at a golf course over the winter when it has been closed for play. We can,t put any feeders or a hide up but have had to adopt a more relaxed wandering approach. It seems to be working though as the squirrels are obviously acclimatised to humans. In 5 afternoon sessions we've shot 52 squirrels. I hope I'll have a chance to talk with you at the Northern shooting show next weekend.

[@theshootingshow]

Hi Mitchell. Sounds like you're doing a good job. Afraid I wasn't able to make it to the NSS. Hopefully catch up another time. All the best. Mat

[@dwu9369]

I'm really digging these British nature documentaries.

[@Bionicycle]

A very enjoyable show and great shooting Mr. Manning. I've got a Squirrel feeder set up in my back yard (garden) for photographing wildlife, but sadly where I live in the States we are not permitted to hunt Squirrels over a feeder even during their "Permitted Season". I would love to find a way to get Starling birds *introduced pest here* into a feeder like that though and lower their numbers. I really like that little Chronograph, looks great for Air Guns, but not so much for large caliber (calibre) firearms, I would think. Keep up the great series, cheers William C. in the U.S.A.

[@adjustablehammer3749]

Bionicycle ahh blast em anyway who's gunna stop you

[@jimmielittle877]

Sweet shots with the Wolverines R on those squirrels.

[@colossus7544]

I was one of those people ones how hated hunting from misinformation and misconception. Im so glad that i no longer hold those beliefs. And i'm gonna get a hunting license soon! I wanna hunt so bad!!! xD

[@Freddyjnes]

Haha, same for me I use to HATE it now I'm about to start hunting some squirrels

[@joeyburke3047]

Honestly if none of those squirrels noticed the mountain of corpses that is their fellow rodent-kin then i don't know how bad i can feel for them lmao

[@doobydoo88]

Do you ever come across red squirrel since the grey went on a rampage killing them off

[@جنيدحسين-ظ6ر]

The lead squirrel is there

[@regsparkes6507]

It's good to see these pests being taken out of the eco system but good shooting like this. I am also impressed with the Daystate Wolverine too, ( the Shooter's prowess not being ignored here either! )

[@theshootingshow]

Thanks Reg. It is a very good gun. All the best. Mat

[@gasixteenb11]

theshootingshow can you please send me a scope? A cheap one inch tube will be fine thanks. I'll handle shipping cost.

[@DougieFresh13]

The pulling power of peanuts. Peter Piper ate a pack of pickled peppers. Edit-. The Daystates are all suppurb, yet the wolverineR is looking incredibly enticing.

[@nou5431]

6:42 trying not to fall of the bed😂😂

[@Afro408]

Good show Mat and a good bag of grey ghosts! :) If that Chronograph is accurate to =/- 1.3%, then at 740fps, the error could be 9.65fps either way! ??

[@charliemarshall9214]

Hi Mat just a quick one. It would be brilliant if you could give is a bit more of an in-site on what pellets you use in your video as I seem to get mixed results with different shaped ones. Many Thanks Charlie . X

[@steveguest8028]

Great shooting Matt,that looks a lovely bit of kit the wolverine

[@kriskarrouze9079]

Looked like a good session,nice now its warming up, Great article on the greys in the basc mag by the way, cheers Matt.

[@theshootingshow]

Thanks very much Kris. Cheers. Mat

[@keithhaynes8079]

I have watched your shows from start thoughly enjoy them every two weeks keep them coming.

[@theshootingshow]

Thanks Keith. Much appreciated. All the best. Mat

[@AnthonyChew]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXabfGiBa7h2iMk Squirrel : I think there's a hunter over there .... oh well, I'll just grab a peanut.

[@dukebeach1]

Nice job on the squirrels Mat! They just can't lay off peanuts. I'd shoot that chronograph in about 5 minutes, unfortunately. It looks slick, but I need a bigger tunnel to put my projectiles through.

[@ronidamaledo6452]

Nice

[@davidstorton910]

I'd have had to take some of that wild garlic mate, too yummy to resist

[@theroof6378]

I am LOVING that gun ...

[@stephen26448]

Which pcp rifle are you using and what scope and what is the best equipment you use to fill a pcp air rifle

[@adamhenshaw4415]

Love that gun dude

[@airarmed-ni4519]

Great show Matt, very enjoyable!

[@theshootingshow]

Thanks Derek. All the best. Mat

[@amigaman9433]

Smashing episode there Mat! and that Daystate Wolverine looks an awesome bit of kit. I'm not so sure about the AirForceOne Chrono, at £119 its smack in the middle of the Shooting Chronys which can also be used to record ballistic impact down range, have a wider FPE range and can be used albeit carefully with shotguns which is great for reloaders. atb /simon

[@MikeHurney]

The AFO Chrony doesn't need a sett of knitting needles or diffusers to work in differing light conditions and is way more portable

[@amigaman9433]

@Mike, quite, the Chrony has a pretty bad rep for light requirements but works well outdoors with the standard or extended defuser in bright sunshine or overcast but not so good indoors and at 8x5x3 inches folded up its quite portable. I noticed the AFO was previously branded Listone L1000, I wonder if it had other names it went under also

[@ScottishNSRailFan]

Enjoyable viewing

[@augusto9793]

Hug for you Mat. Great video again.

[@paulbrooks2539]

I had a BSA Air-sport ,40 years ago, thinking of buying another now after watching 👍

[@PotterPlays]

After each kill do you collect the squirrels or do you wait till after the hunt?

[@MrROTD]

I had a .177 crack barrel rifle made in the Soviet Union mounted a scope on it, I probably killed 100 Partridges with it ,they were yummy, I wish I still had that rifle it was unique

[@crazygazz]

The power of the delicious peanut, hashtag,peanutpower

[@stevenforman3044]

lovely video! Thanks. 😀

[@stewartfrerotte7227]

Well done thanks

[@nissan300bhp]

happy new gun is it matt.

[@BaazBull]

Can you please tell me Power of your airgun in Jules unit And ball you use for shooting size in mm

[@williamhenry3686]

He uses 200 power and 10.5 mm balls

[@Minionmoto529]

9 squirrels isn't bad at all. that'll make a decent sized dinner.

[@niallmartin9063]

My local park has no red squirrels at all left. The grey squirrel has decimated the red squirrel population. We so need a cull and a reintroduction of the native red species.

[@timbojonesunderwood3086]

Can just imagine the heap of dead squirrels at the base of the tree.

[@Davidandsons]

Are you just doing pest control or are they for the pot and if so what's your best recipe ??

[@Freddyjnes]

Both, always both

[@JCATAPULTHUNTING]

Love watching you shoot better then the rest u get down to detail unlike the rest u should get a promotion

[@jcclark770]

How much did gun cost without scope in U.S. dollars thanks

[@AeloaLionheart]

Nice one Matt, as always - what range were you taking those crafty little buggers from?

[@theshootingshow]

The feeder was set up about 20m from the hide. Afraid I can't remember where I got the head net. All the best. Mat

[@putty2812]

Fair play for deciding that you didnt need to shoot the jays, its all about population control and habitat managment and your restraint shows what a countryman you really are hats off that man

[@gerardburton1081]

Nice bit of pest control.

[@deathdestruction007]

zero tolerance policy mat..good work

[@callumrowe3523]

Nice one

[@brandonlaughter8023]

How long would it take for the squirls to find the feeder station as a natural feeding source

[@ianjohnson6733]

9:20 blood flowed threw its face

[@bizallin]

through

[@hunter100t]

Don't think I have seen you shoot that many squizzers on here Mat, good shooting, so they are thinking of rolling out the licensing system like Scotland has are they, or did I mis- hear ?

[@theshootingshow]

Airgun legislation is currently under review. Hopefully it won't result in licensing. All the best. Mat

[@svbummin]

theshootingshow squirrel stew....yum!

[@amariifleming9628]

Another great video mat keep them coming

[@Maui69ForU3]

You should come and take care of the chicken problem in Hawaii

[@rickbaker1233]

good show mat

[@kranob1]

Great video again Matt. Are feeders like that one any good for crows and magpies? No grey squirrels in my area unfortunately

[@theshootingshow]

I have occasionally had magpies visit mine, and the odd crow. All the best. Mat

[@v671hunter8]

Respect Mat for not shooting the Jay ,I understand they need to be controlled at times ,but they are a striking looking Bird not overly common and shouldn't be shot Just for the sake of it imo :-)

[@SwiftKing1]

I love your videos!

[@mrpresten]

I wonder what his plans are with those dead squirrels?

[@polak27patryjota37]

how many joules are in that airgun you shot?

[@kibbkibbie2222]

Nice

[@Freddyjnes]

Where did you get those poles from for the net?

[@gailyfl7551]

what caliber rifle was this?

[@KennyBeeeTV]

Anyone else think that his hairstyle was actually a hat????

[@geetee7154]

Hi Matt,i couldn't help noticing you was using a Richter Optics scope,how did it cope with usage,clearly had no impact on your ability to bring down those pesky squirrels, it seemed a bit at odds with a Premium Rifle & Budget scope?

[@theshootingshow]

It's a really good scope - especially for the money. I certainly didn't find that it hampered the Wolverine's performance. All the best. Mat

[@chowe3494]

My friend tell me where I can buy one of the gun you had?

[@lintanghuntergladrah5293]

Very nice hunting....

[@AeloaLionheart]

I'm also curious what head scarf that is? I am looking for one and it looks good, thanks.

[@williamhenry3686]

Bigboy scarf.com

[@joekelly9369]

Yessss its loads a moneeeee ! Took me a while to click , even sounds like him ,

[@alexstrouse6333]

Question for you, did you eat them?

[@robertbeckler5058]

What do peanut fed squirrels taste like.

[@briancurran3622]

they taste like chicken

[@rashedtjm]

Will done Charlie ✅

[@bltefft]

What caliber your rifle?

[@bradyayers1908]

what kind of net do you use

[@Jcauto-t4r]

I like this rifle a lot, for rabbits would be nice, squirrels I would not kill :-(

[@wills4510]

Did he say fortnight? Is this game of thrones?

[@maryclaire6154]

What kind of gun is that can someone please tell me I really need to know

[@lunatic231]

that my friend is a Daysate Wolverine R. Brilliant rifle

[@rideordie8]

I love this channel

[@chancebrower8361]

[@billcummins5801]

excellent shooting mate oh that particular video how many squirrels did you get because you said you got a half a dozen more from that fear I was just curious having did you get that day cuz they kept on coming for those peanuts and they got lead instead

[@kristagrow711]

What gun are you using

[@robs4509]

Love the hat Matt, where did you buy it from?

[@theshootingshow]

Have had the hat for years. Don't think it's available anymore but there is a similar one available from Quietwear. All the best. Mat

[@TheWheels1965]

First! So what pellets are you using, Polymags maybe!

[@theshootingshow]

Daystate Rangemaster Sovereign. All the best. Mat

[@GreasyPhil420]

Cracking shots mate, do you eat squirrels?

[@raikuirexxz5218]

I love watching your video and wanna be part of air rifle shooters but unfortunately iam from india 🇮🇳 and there’s no such good rifles available here. I really wish to get one of them....

[@고최-s5c]

more video please

[@AirGhandi]

Great video! I do reviews of airrifles too! If you want, take a look! 😃

[@tonyjonty8030]

How much for the chronograph

[@mrshoto9035]

Solid clearance job on the greys - which pellets did you use? The sound quality is greatly improved on your recent uploads 👍 Best wishes.

[@theshootingshow]

Pellets are Daystate Rangemaster Sovereigns. Thanks. Mat

[@Aslan-Bogatyrev]

Привет ☻

[@1959Berre]

You have been shooting squirrels for a couple of years now. Any idea if the numbers are decreasing? Or is it a never ending battle?

[@theshootingshow]

It makes a huge difference but you have to keep the pressure on - back off and they will move back in. We hardly ever see grey squirrels in some of the woods I shoot now - and they were woods that produced bags of eight or ten squirrels per session in the early days. All the best. Mat

[@tiozaonopedal450]

👏👏

[@bandiflip]

Hey there,lovin the videos,just wondering what are the reasons for shooting squirrels,crows etc...... it’s ok I’m not animal rights ect.....just curious

[@bandiflip]

Ha....just heard why the squirrels .... I’ll watch the whole video before asking anything else 😆😆👍🏻

[@samwhitman787]

Do you eat the squirrels

[@davidlivi2696]

Hii.. Wt is the price of this gun??

[@eduardorafael6083]

[@nightwing6925]

[@dsyncerror4049]

[@luanaical6595]

ban vay sao hut noi

[@muhsinali4268]

Oh poor little squirrels! Nice shooting yet i don't like hunting them :(

[@matthewlangley5565]

You Brits have to many firearms rules.

[@kinglear5952]

When a government disarms its population it can no longer use sqirrel machine guns.

[@lazynut81]

Why do you call it hunting? call it "killing by a feeder'.

[@skydiver6711]

Ok, "Killing by a Feeder". Does that change the outcome?

[@patrickmitchell6330]

I like calling it "top of the food chain"
