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.

[@dwu9369]

I'm really digging these British nature documentaries.

[@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

6:42 trying not to fall of the bed😂😂

[@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

[@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

[@steveguest8028]

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

[@theroof6378]

I am LOVING that gun ...

[@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.

[@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

[@davidstorton910]

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

[@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

[@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

[@ScottishNSRailFan]

Enjoyable viewing

[@adamhenshaw4415]

Love that gun dude

[@AnthonyChew]

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

[@paulbrooks2539]

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

[@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.

[@airarmed-ni4519]

Great show Matt, very enjoyable!

[@theshootingshow]

Thanks Derek. All the best. Mat

[@stevenforman3044]

lovely video! Thanks. 😀

[@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

[@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! ??

[@stewartfrerotte7227]

Well done thanks

[@augusto9793]

Hug for you Mat. Great video again.

[@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

[@stephen26448]

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

[@crazygazz]

The power of the delicious peanut, hashtag,peanutpower

[@SwiftKing1]

I love your videos!

[@JCATAPULTHUNTING]

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

[@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

[@amariifleming9628]

Another great video mat keep them coming

[@PotterPlays]

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

[@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.

[@jcclark770]

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

[@rickbaker1233]

good show mat

[@rashedtjm]

Will done Charlie ✅

[@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

[@callumrowe3523]

Nice one

[@nissan300bhp]

happy new gun is it matt.

[@rideordie8]

I love this channel

[@ianjohnson6733]

9:20 blood flowed threw its face

[@bizallin]

through

[@polak27patryjota37]

how many joules are in that airgun you shot?

[@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

[@Minionmoto529]

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

[@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

[@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 :-)

[@bltefft]

What caliber your rifle?

[@gailyfl7551]

what caliber rifle was this?

[@kibbkibbie2222]

Nice

[@timbojonesunderwood3086]

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

[@lintanghuntergladrah5293]

Very nice hunting....

[@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

[@deathdestruction007]

zero tolerance policy mat..good work

[@kristagrow711]

What gun are you using

[@Jcauto-t4r]

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

[@tiozaonopedal450]

👏👏

[@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

[@brandonlaughter8023]

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

[@Maui69ForU3]

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

[@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....

[@joekelly9369]

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

[@bradyayers1908]

what kind of net do you use

[@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

[@gerardburton1081]

Nice bit of pest control.

[@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?

[@GreasyPhil420]

Cracking shots mate, do you eat squirrels?

[@Freddyjnes]

Where did you get those poles from for the net?

[@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

[@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

[@chancebrower8361]

cool hunting

[@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!

[@Aslan-Bogatyrev]

Привет ☻

[@tonyjonty8030]

How much for the chronograph

[@고최-s5c]

more video please

[@KennyBeeeTV]

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

[@wills4510]

Did he say fortnight? Is this game of thrones?

[@davidlivi2696]

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

[@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

[@AeloaLionheart]

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

[@williamhenry3686]

Bigboy scarf.com

[@alexstrouse6333]

Question for you, did you eat them?

[@mrpresten]

I wonder what his plans are with those dead squirrels?

[@nightwing6925]

We eat squirrels they are yummy

[@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 😆😆👍🏻

[@robertbeckler5058]

What do peanut fed squirrels taste like.

[@briancurran3622]

they taste like chicken

[@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

[@AirGhandi]

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

[@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

[@samwhitman787]

Do you eat the squirrels

[@tauqirhayaat7957]

How much USD your Rifle

[@greedygringoprospecting6941]

how many shots in .177 200 or ,300 something like that right imagine you shooting my wolverine .30 100 ft/lbs not a lot of shots but the little bastards would be dust I shoot the jsb 44.75 grains or the H&N barracuda 46.30 grains or the jsb 50.15 grains at 250 bar I'm shooting in the 950's what's the wolverine r shooting in 12 ft/lbs nice rifle to bad you have to send it back

[@eduardorafael6083]

You will eat these animal?

[@dsyncerror4049]

yeah fortnite who dosen't play it

[@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"
