The Airgun Show - farmyard jackdaw shoot, plus top plinking targets on test

www.theshooting...
Targeting crafty corvids can make for a challenging day’s shooting. Here, Mat Manning demonstrates the importance of fieldcraft and patience to bag scavenging jackdaws that have been causing problems on the farm. Mat also explains when and when not to shoot to keep your shots safe when controlling pests in the confines of the farmyard.
This week’s review sees a host of fun plinking targets put to the test. We’ve got the Cordless Resetting Pigeon from Nockover, the walking Flip Target, the Zombie Knockdown Target from Gr8fun, SMK’s Auto Reset Knockdown duck shoot target, and the explosive Firebird Airflash 40. See how they fare on our tests range, so you can choose which ones best meet your target shooting needs.

I REALLY love this show. Always look forward to the new episode. Mat does such a great job and is so enjoyable to watch. Hope you guys keep making this for a LONG time. Randy in New York.

[@theshootingshow]

Thank you very much. We put a lot into it, so it's always good to hear positive feedback. We certainly intend to keep it going - don't forget to tell all your friends across the pond about us...

[@SquirrelHunter]

Another good episode! Nice to see you caught me on film at the shooting show as well ;-)

[@andelsvoboda258]

I love the way he talks

[@marioander9733]

This rifle Is the best!

[@timbfoto5823]

Best show on the internet !!!

[@rv3571]

Matt keep up the good work, I really enjoy all your segments just wish they came out on a daily basis. The best on youtube by far (in terms of a reasonable balance of hunting footage, information and good commentary!)

[@davidinghram2494]

The little Regal is an ideal size and a classy air rifle. I love mine, which was bought about the time you made this video. It`s an FAC .22 with a 3-9x33 Leupold rimfire scope. As always, a good video Mat, thanks.

[@BradBrassman]

The duck shoot/pellet trap looks sturdy but actually isnt. I bought one of these early last year and found that your pellets after a relitavely short while bend the ducks on their stands, and not only that, the ducks are held on a central spindle with spacers that are made of a rigid plastic. Now, as you can readily imagine, after a few shots, the pellets rebound off the back of the casing and smash the plastic spacers to bits so that the unit no longer functions properly. Indeed, I had to take mine to bits, hammer the ducks straight, and then cut a series of new spacers from some hollow metal tubing I happened to have spare. I did write to the manufacturers for the spare parts explaining the problem, but they never even replied. One to miss folks; unless you have some replacement metal tubing handy.

[@tasmedic]

Thanks for another great video, and especially for the safe hunting tips.

[@redneckbennett1973]

Excellent episode. The Huntsman looks good but I think the wolverine takes the best airgun of 2014.

[@kfarndale12]

Great show as always Matt.

[@Ldotvidz]

I've seen a few of your vids but I'm a new sub to you,I've been looking for those walking target things for ages and all I could find was great big steel ones from the U.S ....so glad I've subbed,thanks 👍

[@jeffestrada6857]

Great video. Very safe shooter great to see 👍👍👍

[@ArsonHammockHanger]

In your other shows you use a simple paper target stand in your reviews, but darn if I can find it anywhere for purchase. Is there a brand name?

[@markphillips7416]

Very professional website well done.

[@daveno144]

Hi Mat - I use the 1" Birchwood Casey High Viz Shoot N C Shooting Targets for my target shooting/zeroing. I stick 5 (on a 14cm x 14cm piece of cardboard (recycled cereal box) which slides into my metal pellet trap. I arrange the 5 targets like a 5 on the side of a dice. I like the fact I can see each pellet strike which is better than normal paper targets. atb Dave.

[@theshootingshow]

Thanks Dave. They certainly beat having to strain to see where pellets are landing. We'll try to feature some of the Shoot N See type targets in the future.

[@daveno144]

theshootingshow Took a picture and converted into a video so as to upload to You Tube to show my targets kzbin.info/www/bejne/nprYoHaIpLV4msU

[@theshootingshow]

Dave Fletcher Nice One! Thanks

[@bobwashingtonstate673]

Great videos Matt

[@BradBrassman]

I have come to love these shows (as I research my change from spring guns to PCP) but a pox upon that opening music!!!!

[@BradBrassman]

I eventually bought an Air Arms S410 and soon after, a second hand, S410 TDR.

[@85k11]

great show chaps . merry Christmas to you .

[@MrCauphy]

Another great video. ATB Chris

[@tiozaonopedal450]

I loved the shots

[@edithwoodward2676]

brill I love it keep up the great work thanks matt

[@Heathfloors]

Another thumbs up from me.. Great and informative vids.. Thank you... Where did you get your cap from?

[@ooweesaler]

Many fields behind but they do have lots of footpaths on them and workers. I know this farm well. I often set up the jackdaws as decoys on the bales next to the calves they work well attracting others in. I think between us we have cleared out the rats :-)

[@clivehudson739]

Hi Mat! Would you consider using a .177 for farmyard pest control?

[@pescaycazafrutillar]

excelente el video y el rifle deve de ser muy bueno,mi consulta es cual rifle es mejor el daystate huntsman regal xl 5.5 o el daystate MK4 5.5 y que calibre es mas recomendable el 4.5 o el 5.5 ojala pudiera responder mi respuesta.gracias

[@Q.5.5.X]

شكرا لك مقاطع ممتعة

[@mrBDeye]

Daystate Huntsman Regal is great.

[@derktromp1495]

good shots on the jackdaw.s

[@anthonystreet2487]

I really like watching these videos I'd love to own a daystate air rifle I've been saving up trying to buy one I love hunting pest and Jack tools crows rabbit and I shoot rats at times so I think the day state would make a perfect air rifle

[@yasernayeem]

What scope is that.. Lovely video.. (Y)

[@Elfin4]

Looking after the farmers roof and cattle very responsible.

[@dfilms1844]

Does the Crosman Blaze NP have enough power for rats?

[@Micidiale870]

Nice hat, I need something like that

[@mygoldfishbob]

I just brought the Remington Express Synthetic .177, what's the best pellets to use for both hunting and targets?

[@johnnicholls1699]

Love the program , but I don't think its an acurrate account of pest control as matt's air gun is Fac rated to 30 lbs . As are other videos on U-tub , & most people I know shoot sub 12 lbs you may as well buy your self a rimfire rifle.

[@mr.thickey1820]

"Ach du lieber, mein freund"! I'm a new subscriber here in the USA. Excellent show & beautiful scenery of British country! I'm just getting into airguns to shoot in my basement, as my shooting range terminated a while ago. My love is shooting blackpowder muzzleloaders, like my. 54 custom made flintlock & my. 58 custom Hawken rifle. They can pack a punch depending on how you load them! Also love .22's & my Ruger single shot 45/70, like a British Farqueharson. Sorry you blokes can't enjoy shooting guns like these in your country. How did you ALL let your government get away with disarming you? Didn't your queen stick up for your God ordained RIGHT to protect yourselves???!!! Keep making your fine videos please. God save the queen, but only God knows for what!

[@AirgunloftTV8527]

sir how much on this air gun.du you have shipping on phillipines.

[@carlevie5315]

[@RemcoPetersen]

Nice video, and i would love to see you decoying pigeon and shoot them with the airgun.

[@RemcoPetersen]

[@RemcoPetersen]

Remco Petersen o and not to forget Merry Christmas

[@cantonis]

Which pellets where you using in the .22 Daystate Huntsman Regal, thanks

[@theshootingshow]

Air Arms Diabolo Field on this occasion. It also like Daystate Sovereigns.

[@ricardootegui893]

Daystate airstream hi power 1/2 UNF 30 gauge suppressor is compatible with daystate hunstman regal 22 gauge? Thank you

[@deanneu8699]

HI, does anyone know the laws on having a legal limit gun in your car? Do you need to prove you are travelling to a range/farm? (in a carry case and unloaded) England. thanks

[@jali898]

DeannEU in a case and unloaded ...and an adult of course... interesting footnote...i was pulled over for a broken brake light bulb ...no issues until the police saw a gun bag in my passenger seat foot well ...he asked me what was in the bag and I told him it was an air rifle.,...he then asked me to open the case so he could see for himself.. I refused to open the case as I would be breaking the law by having a gun in a public place...I did say I would be happy to be escorted to the closet police station and remove my gun from its case ....I then remembered I had my shotgun certificate in my wallet and he was happy to let me go on my way once I had produced it to him.. Just doing his job ....but not everyone has a shotgun certificate handy and I was being asked to break the law.... Oh and I got away with the bulb 😀

[@MrFergal90]

What pellets do you use for hunting

[@theshootingshow]

Good quality domed pellets. Air Arms Field in this case, but also Daystate Sovereigns, RWS, and JSB, depending on what the guns prefer.

[@dustinhinzman]

brilliant

[@varadattanaik6425]

Which PCB Air Rifle of .177cal can shoot a target down at 100 meters. Could it shoot down Piegons or Rabbits With .177cal

[@earl2642]

What gun are u using and how much does it cost?

[@samfussell4518]

S.g.t Sniper Seaman it's a daystate huntsman around 750-800 .177 I think great gun for the money

[@samfussell4518]

S.g.t Sniper Seaman sorry .22

[@ManLikeHenners]

would you not recommend the regal for medium to long shots? say 35-50 yards?

[@samfussell4518]

Henry Edwards .177 would do it fine if u hit in the right spot

[@samfussell4518]

Henry Edwards and .22 just a lot more drop
