The Airgun Show - hunting magpie, woodpigeon and squirrel, PLUS Weihrauch HW100 BP on test

[@regsparkes6507]

Aren't Weihrauch rifles just wonderful,....this HW 100 BP looks like another great one, and I really enjoy my HW50S. Enjoyable hunting in the Woods Mat, thanks for this video.

[@theshootingshow]

Thanks Reg. Glad you liked it. Cheers. Mat

for people who are hating on this guy, remember he’s doing this because there’s an overpopulation of that animal and he’s doing the people who own this land a favor

[@coryjenkins4179]

Great video thanks for sharing.

[@theshootingshow]

Thanks Cory. Glad you enjoyed it. All the best. Mat

[@michaelhiggins7365]

A most impressive gun review. I love that Bullpup rifle !

[@ABSBARNES]

Hello Matt. iPhone camera will work fine as is. Whilst the camera is loaded on your phone, Press on the screen where you want it to focus and hold the press until AE AF lock appears on the top of your screen. Sorted 👍

[@thebackyardairgunner8776]

Nice Shooting !

[@fdgaming]

there should be a pro mode that allows for manual focus, point at a white wall and press the screen to focus on the crosshairs

[@Wolverineverminshooting]

Nice shooting matt👍

[@kanekesterton672]

Great vid

[@henrymoreland8719]

Thanks Mat.

[@wildernessbill2434]

Brillint video some good shots in there 👍🏻👍🏻

[@83bluecheese]

at that sort of price i think i'l stick with my wildcat mk2 just as accurate if not more so and the option to change out your barrel liners not to mention more than double the shot count from one fill. the weirach does have it beat on magazine capacity though i will give it that !

[@cbellasbusta4643]

You don't need any 3rd party apps to lock the focus. Just press the screen to focus on the cross hairs then once focused press and hold to lock How to lock the focus and exposure Launch the Camera app from your Home screen or Lock screen. Tap the screen to choose the part of the image you want to focus on and expose. Tap and hold on your focal point until you see an AE/AF Lock banner appear at the top of the screen, to lock exposure and focus. Tap the shutter button when you're ready to take your photo. Tap anywhere on the screen to unlock the focus and exposure again at any time.

[@theshootingshow]

Thanks very much. Mat

[@Pete-in-Essex]

Great Stuff as usual Mat.

[@theshootingshow]

Thanks Pete. Hope all's well, mate. Cheers. Mat

[@glencurtis6496]

Another awesome show tonight matt, that hw100bp looks great

[@theshootingshow]

Thanks Glen. Yes, it was a great gun to shoot. All the best. Mat

[@KowalDWR]

Bought tuned Hw50s 2 weeks ago. I will get to learn its real potential.

[@chriswinter2404]

Can't beat a mixed bag 👍

[@seand8534]

Great video, thank you! Is there not a scope that records your shots that will fit this rifle? I'm looming to purchase my first air rifle and would like a scope that records

[@dean11daly]

Feather and fur! Nice shooting! A bit disappointed with the HW100BP , just a HW100 dropped into a short stock

[@davidm3maniac201]

Dean Daly. I have to agree and thats not what i was expecting. As you said just a shorter version. I am a big fan of these HW100 but i dont class this a BP IMO

[@gallopingg1]

COULD ALSO DO WITH A CARBON FIBRE AIR TANK TO HELP WITH THE WEIGHT AND MORE AIR!!

[@spursrulelondon]

Going to buy this 😀

[@markhomer5704]

Nice vid matt ... fantastic review on the weirauch .. kinda getting too like bullpups ... only a bit though

[@theshootingshow]

Hi Mark, Likewise, I don't quite understand all the fuss about bullpups but this is a very good one. All the best. Mat

Great vid. Can't decide on the HW100BP, AA s510 or FX Dreamline. Every day I change my mind 😂

[@robmcmurrough1897]

You really seem to enjoy that rifle dude! Are you sponsored by pellpax? Great vids BTW you and Andy got me into shooting. I've got a bsa ultra xl in .177 and a Nikko Stirling 4-12 X 50 IR AO. Also have a sx 78 that I've smithed on a bit, polish internals and a new breach port and extended probe bolt. Ain't KZbin great guys and girls! Thanks again and to the shooting community, FB groups have been great as a newer shooter and hunter. So nice cooking what I've harvested and use the knifes I've made to break them down for the table. 😀

[@theshootingshow]

Hi Rob, and welcome. Pellpax are show sponsors - we simply wouldn't be able to commit the time and effort to make a show of this quality without them - but we are allowed to choose which guns we use, and I think the Hortitsia is great. Sounds like you've got some good kit, and I'm so pleased to hear that you are eating what you shoot. All the best. Mat

[@outbackwithtrevor9156]

They do have a camera app that will help with that

[@pauljames2228]

Hi mat where did get your target holder from people never seen one like that one but would love one . Paul

[@sportsandautomotives4739]

😊 Sir please advise me *Discovery VT-R 3-9x40* scope is good or not good🤔?..

[@theshootingshow]

I have not used one but I am told it is very good. All the best. Mat

[@weirhauch1002]

Congrats on your side-shot mount,I use eaglevision side-shot mount.If you want better video quality,use samsung s10.Iam sure you can better manage your hunting videos with this new camera kit.Enjoy 👍🏻

[@paulcousier927]

Great vid .. what pellets where you using in the hw100bp?

[@theshootingshow]

I was using Daystate Rangemaster Sovereign in the test but it shot well with most JSB type pellets. All the best. Mat

[@colinlofthouse373]

Hi matt do you think it's possible to show us novices how you zero a scope I have a hw110 and a walther rm8 so it's understandable to us novices many thanks colin

[@stephenlloyd6921]

Hi Matt, great video, what tripod are you using ? Thanks

[@kirkjohnson954]

Mat, I'm trying to start Ratting & taking care of other pests around my property but cost & ease are issues... not sure on PCP versions for cost.. all the tanks & refilling.. but Co2 reduces power & loading is bad with break action... what's the solution? I'm going to buy the ATN x-sight 4k, but need something to shoot with. My Gamo break action 1400 FPS would do the trick but reloading at night would be a pain.. .what to buy? something I can mount scope, & other goodies??

[@b-radr-ing3074]

Is there a velocity restriction in the 🇬🇧

[@ezfloturner9906]

Anyone watching Matt with the iPhone camera issue. Easy fix on video mode just hold your finger on the screen for a second and the AE/AF lock will come on and focus is perfect for filming.

[@miketraylor1013]

Could you give me directions to build your homemade scope cam? Thank you

[@gallopingg1]

GREAT VID MAT, WOULD BE NICE IF THE WEIHRAUCH CAME WITH A CARBON FIBRE AIR BOTTLE INCORPORATED INTO THE STOCK,, HELP SHOT COUNT/WEIGHT, AND SHIFT EVEN MORE WEIGHT BACK NEARER THE SHOOTER!! SAME AS FX VERMINATOR.!!

[@Elfin4]

So how do you shoot Magpies and pigeons in a forrest. How does this comply with the recent amended shooting laws ? Would appreciate if someone could explain as Im still confused . Also, when shooting I thought you always had to consider the back shots, so how is shooting up towards the sky at squirrels safe, if you miss and you dont know where the pellet will fall !!

[@theshootingshow]

Pigeons and corvids can still be shot under general licence, and the rules are much the same as they have been for several decades. The terms set out in the general licences are not so much about where you can or can't shoot pest birds - the important thing is the problems they are causing. The pest control shown here meets the terms of the relevant general licences. Assuming that you live in England, relevant info can be found via the below web link. www.gov.uk/government/collections/general-licences-for-wildlife-management#birds As for shooting into trees, it is generally regarded as being safe with a sub-12ft/lb airgun but it is important to ensure that the fallout zone is over land where you have permission to shoot - if your pellet travels to neighbouring land where you don't have permission, you will be breaking the law. All the best. Mat

[@Elfin4]

@@theshootingshow Thanks for clarifying, As a non hunter and novice Im just educating myself and learning. Thanks for your reply, appreciated.

[@joekelly9369]

Nothing more satisfying than dropping magpies and squirrels , both prolific nest robbers , here in the NW theyve all but trashes the song birds in my area .

[@theshootingshow]

That's right, Joe. They have done a lot of damage in my part of the world, too. All the best. Mat

[@leenorris2862]

If u using hold under @20-25 m , what range have u zero scope at.

[@joekelly9369]

Best barrels ever , even their fixed barrel springers shoot like pcps with a tune . Their barrels are the main reason aa will always be second to them

[@keithkvaj]

What kind of pod is that? Looks nice

[@theshootingshow]

Hi Keith. It's a Primos Trigger Stick Tripod. Very handy piece of kit when shooting a PCP. All the best. Mat

[@Hyperraj1]

Hi there,what gloves are you wearing??

[@83bluecheese]

@theshootingshow do you have a link to where i can get one of those shooting sticks you use in the video ? cheers

[@jeffk1485]

That looks like a Primos TriggerStick, you can pick them up on Amazon or almost any sporting goods store. They're made in monopod, bipod, and tripod varieties.

[@83bluecheese]

Hi Myke. It is the PAO Topaz from The Shooting Party. All the best. Mat

[@martinskovby8856]

Hi Matt, I like watching you hunting, especially with the beautiful Hortitsia. But why are you shooting the red squirrels instead of just shooting the invasive grey squirrels and leaving the wood the the domestic red ones? Best wishes Martin Edit: It is a grey one, but with slightly darker colour. Thanks Myke!

[@mykeready3742]

Martin Skovby, Matt shot a grey. Definitely not a red. Some greys have a red tinge on their tails.

[@martinskovby8856]

Hi Myke, thank you for your answer! 👍 That squirrel looks very much red-brown for a grey one, but at a closer look it has the big head and no bushy ears. As to the colour, perhaps they adapt to their new home or maybe even mix with the red ones? 😉 Luckily we only have the red (and brown) ones over here in Denmark. 🍀👍 Best wishes Martin

[@theshootingshow]

@@martinskovby8856 Hi Martin. I can assure you I only shoot grey squirrels, and reds are not present where I live - because of the greay. The two species can not interbreed. Colour is not a reliable way to distinguish between them as greys tend to take on a red tinge during summer and autumn here. Generally, reds are much smaller and have fluffy ears which appear to be long and pointed. All the best. Mat

[@martinskovby8856]

@@theshootingshow Thank you, Mat, for your reply! And thank you for your very good shows! I'm looking forward to the next one! Best wishes and happy shooting! Martin

[@pauldean8638]

Good to see pro's who know ha ha ,correct size round for a flatter RDA .being your breaking up your shape by camouflage ,you'd be helping yourself to scrimp bandage the rifle or a camouflage sock just to lose the sharp lines .obviously you use rifles from stock so you wouldnt want to mark it .good to see informative professional hunting instead of dangerous fools who think they are great hunters .what's your ultimate hunting pcp rifle ?

[@Andrew-qn8fu]

I didn't think you could still shoot wood pigeon and corvids unless you were shooting them to protect crops? I hope I'm wrong as woodland wood pigeon shooting is the best hunting one can do with an air rifle.

[@joekelly9369]

He.l be doing it legally .maybe got land or licence ,

[@theshootingshow]

They can still be shot as long as the terms of the general licence are met, as they were here. All the best. Mat

Is there a new law surrounding hunting wildlife?

Why?

[@claverton]

I don't get why you would shoot magpies

[@theshootingshow]

On this ground it is mostly because of the impact their predation has on eggs and chicks of songbirds and game birds. They are very abundant on this permission and cause serious damage to populations of other birds. All the best. Mat
