A demonstration of the Sandwell Field Sports stage 2 tuned HW97KT shooting groups and targets

[@TheGeodoctorcl]

What a show Si, you're a credit to the sport and you represent your homeland with distinction. TY ever so much for the video, and again until later, Cheers!

[@VerminHuntersTV]

Thanks Elliott, yes the H & N FTT at 5.53mm work very well in the 97. Ive seen your shooting and your every bit as good as any man. Dont under sell yourself buddy. Si.

[@Tilbily]

Found a good price on a used 97 kt and scope, pick it up tomorrow. After seeing this I'm very stoked!!!

[@paulpeters1971]

Awesome shooting Si, True marksmanship on show yet again & to the non believers jealousy truly is a bad thing. As shooters this is the standard of shooting the vast majority of us should aspire to. Fantastic stuff

[@shoptime69]

Si you are amazing and the reason I promptly bought a HW77K .22 after having watched you in action a few times.. Thanks

[@carsmax]

On the pellet on turrets you can clearly see the bubble recoil ! 1. stage it moves forward and 2.stage back to his previous position . Great explanation Si!!

[@mikeruizesparza1514]

Great review of HW97 KT!! A mouth shutter for those crying ones bout springers. Congrats!!

[@Mystro1020]

Love your videos, they are instructive and well done. Keep them coming!

[@stephenhanson4513]

No worries Stephen.

[@MrWalkaboutding]

[@Jenxxie]

"oh, thats not bad really " ... ha ha . Awesome shooting , Boss .... Fantastic ! Credit to both you, and the gentleman that tuned it. Thats just brilliant shooting. All the best man, keep them coming :)

[@risingfriend100]

a master of his craft, excellent vid Si you must be made up with the 97 mate. and what cant speak cant lie.......keep em coming ATB Aaron

[@airgunnersedge4061]

Was just looking at purchasing one here in the states, and found your video while looking to see what performance they had... you have me sold!!! My diana rws 48 .22 I tuned is around 1 1/2 at 90 yards , great shooting sir !!!

[@shoptime69]

Holly hell you've got mad skill there Si. Unbelievable

[@tonyktx44]

WOW that first 25 meter group is amazing ! Great video Si, Many thanks

[@holmes1978]

Hi Si Sir your excellent , you have the correct brand company Quality and of course your skill level go hand in hand ! This is how one could shoot so great people watch Si's videos they are great !!! Peace . Weihrauch 97K I own is quality !!!

[@potshot111]

Phenomenal shooting Si...very impressed.

[@chrisadamson3083]

absolute brilliant shooting si and a great video . getting there with those targets for you and davy

[@tinkerman9434]

good shooting...i love to see this type of stuff with spring air rifles.i don't have a video camera to record my shots,and when ever I tell someone what me and my spring gun can do they never believe me. so I like seeing video like this..soon i will have a camera to record my shot..thanks for the video Si ,keep it up

[@shoptime69]

I am sure that is a great rifle but dude you Si are one hell of a marksman and I just wanted to say great gun or not that is some incredible shooting. I have several guns and have always fancied myself a good shot but absolutely pale by comparison. Well Well done.

[@pid71]

Love the new intro Guys,Video spot on as always.

[@OllyKilo]

You are a fearsome shot.

[@Cumbrian77]

Fantastic demo Si and Great shooting mate.

[@pyrexia2]

Hi Si,hope your well,missing your vids !.Just to let you know went to SFS a couple of weeks ago met Tony(great guy)and ordered my 97k.177,he's going to do his magic and hope to pick it up in the next week or so and I have just managed to get a s/hand Panorama AO4-12*50 off the bay for 80.Giving me a bench mark to shoot to your level, I like a challenge !!.Have a couple springer's which your vids have encouraged me to use again after many years of PCP's.Thanks for the enjoyment you giving me.Jez

[@frednecke8246]

Un-Trucking Believable! If I were an Afghani with Taliban leanings and I heard Si Pittaway and his pellet gun were coming to Kandahar for an Xmas holiday, I would run for Pakistan as fast as my little legs could carry me over the mountains. Because sure as sh1rt, I would have lead-poisoning come new year. Stunning shooting.

[@andeanphoto]

Master shooter Si! Your proved your point... easily. LOL!

[@kawasakiz1ba463]

Great shooting Si

[@stringy2009]

Yes the rifle has a lot to do with accuracy and consistency, but the shooter is always the person in control. I currently have an S200 and have just sold my Vmach TX200, either of these rifles would match what you have shown there on a calm day. Now it does help that Weihrauch and Air Arms are some of the most accurate spring piston rifles you can buy, but evidently you are a good shooter and this is what matters most. Good job and nice rifle.

[@alexbuey2894]

Great video.. Great shooting skills mate that 👏 👌 👍

[@michaelcarey3105]

Great shooting/video! 👍

[@sneakysmoker3775]

Nice video Si, well impressive review of the tuned 97. would of loved to have seen the guys face who said its not possible to shoot this distance with a spring piston rifle when he watched this video.

[@silverbackdp]

Exactly.. same here bud!

[@digga1973]

great video and nice shooting as allways keep up the good work

[@marcegrecco53]

You're an amazing shot with an amazing springer. Marc Grecco

[@kesjed]

hi si, great shooting, like the new intro to the channel, tony did a stage one tune on my .177 hw97kt, great work, bought a hw95 in 22 last week and that will be geting te same treatment !

[@tommy2timez]

Si..I just ordered the . 20 cal. 97K. your results are outstanding with the. 22 and now im having my doubts. I know there aren't many pellet choices with the. 20 but I want the best of both worlds. .(nice trajectory and a bigger punch than the. 177) I already have a tx200 in. 177.. . great video.best .regards from Florida!

[@VerminHuntersTV]

Nice one mate. Tony will make it a dream rifle i promise you. His work is second to none. Si.

[@rogers1908]

I can only aspire to be half this good Si! I hunt loads but wouldn't attempt stuff at the ranges you consistently master. Very cool shooting mate, and less than half of that is rifle accredited! great vid again. Duncan

[@horne250]

Hi si and congratulations on some more outstanding top notch marksmanship. And to do it like you are using a pcp just says it all really mate well done you. good luck with your next video mate looking forward to some more results that amaze me take care buddy all the best si kind regards sean

[@0131iceman]

very well done and well said Mr.Si! keep up the good work :)

[@ouchnie]

Impressive shooting, sir.

[@CRA1G1EBOY]

Great shooting Si. Atb.

[@85k11]

great vid si and some top shooting there

[@risingfriend100]

another nice vid mate, looks like you are lovin the springers ATB Aaron

[@sjm2inok]

Fantastic shooting Si!! Would you be kind enough to give a brief run down of what is involed in the tuning of a springer such as yours, I'd really like to know what makes them so accurate. Thanks and cheers from the States.

[@ken2shirl1]

Great shooting mate. I've just ordered aHW97KT I reckon she probably go 15-16 FTE straight out the box, in Oz they are all FAC rated. Love to get it tuned though.

[@luisvazquez6491]

Nice work si

[@VerminHuntersTV]

Its not in a public place mate. That location is actually a military base and i have the full permission of the base commander to shoot there. Si.

[@VerminHuntersTV]

I think Tony Wall fixes something at the back of the rifles action which drops the recoil to a very low state. He also tunes the action and fits his own custom parts and spring. i also think the trigger is tuned too. Im sure there is a lot more involved but I just shoot them mate.

[@superten12]

Good video, aye the hw97 is a very accurate air rifle but it's so heavy to carry about if out doing vermin control. I part exchanged mine and just bought a Brocock Contour super six after watching a few videos on here yours being one of them and i really like it. I also have a HW80 in .177 and although it is a heavy air rifle as well it will be with me till the end. Keep making the videos as they are some of the best on here. Thanks.

[@TheDefinitiveAirgunReview]

Great shooting Si that tuned 97 is the nuts! Loving the new intro and outro to bud. Hope you are well. ATB Malc CPTV

[@paulanning2831]

Good shooting mate

[@carsmax]

Hello Si. I shut a milk bottle cab(2cm in size ) at 90 meters at my property several times. No video .But my mother in law saw it. Gun was a HW 77k in .177 with JSB Heavy´s 10.34 gr.

[@chrisjenkins4531]

great shooting,i have a HV80,im going to take it to tony for a stage3,keep the videos coming.

[@ejerry74]

Si awesome shooting I own a hw97kt and a hw98 the accuracy you are getting out to 55 yards the guns have to be tuned or can you get this accuracy once broken in rite out the box because the hw98 is stated to have almost no recoil but my hw97kt has that twang because it is not broken in and its a synthetic stock.. I am hoping once broken in it goes away you vermin guys are a awesome force to be reckoned with who ever doubted you is crazy and I think it is cool you had the balls or bolacks as you guys say in england pardon the spelling to prove it keep up the good work you guys are a inspiration.

[@VerminHuntersTV]

You could with a lot of skill and practice mate but easier done if tuned.

[@fabienlarcher4552]

which tuning?

[@AlastairVVhite]

Nice work mate it the 97 was half its weight the PCP market would disappear overnight.

[@TheChristopher1970]

Love watching your vids Si.I have just bought a HW97KT .Wondering if you could give some advise on handling the recoil as i am used to the pcps not springers.Keep the vids coming. Chris

[@MrWilberbeast1]

Top shooting and great vid. What do you teach, if you don't mind me asking? Cheers. Will.

[@hellsbells8371]

hi si great shooting mate. Wanted to ask you what scope would you recomend for the hw97kt i have a airmax 3-9x50 with the map6 retic but not sure if this is the right scope for gun.

[@6brettes]

nice video liked the trick with the knife edge and group size comparisons thats an indoor setting id imagine it may not be so tight out of doors! on a breezier day?

[@FortunaSuhl]

Hello i have a question to the HW97KT. How many Joul has the free vision in the UK?

[@beavereater6969]

welldone si im going to do some long range shooting with my tx200 tomorrow and hope i do half as well

[@TheSandman.]

sorry to bother si just a wee queery bout the pano 4x12 50 ao!! do you notice a blur on the edges of the image when locked on cheek stock sweet spot looking through wise?? cheers j

[@vinnyha5793]

Did you do anything with the rifle and pellet...????.... must be... factory never have that group at 25 yards...

[@rodgetaylorjnr]

Nice video Si think it's time to get my AA ProSport to be tuned awesome results.

[@819ANT]

Amazing shooting si have decided my old 77 is going for a stage 2 tune at sfs now is one of the original venom tuned ones but was done long ago look forward to seeing what it's capable of once given a decent tune again currently running about half inch groups at 25 meters with Powa pellets will get a sample pack of many different pellets when it's back find out the very best one for it :) thanks for the great vids and Again that's some impressive shooting. What rangefinder do you use?

[@TriggerPullTV]

Amazing shooting Si, the recoil looks identical to my Dave Hall HW77K which just goes to show how good these two tuners really are. Will have to try the H&N pellets, I've got a tin knocking about. Still haven't found the best ones for ny barrel yet but not quite sure my marksman skill are at the same standard as yours. Top shooting pal!

[@raygeary1698]

Don't muck off WEIHRAUCH Springer folks don't need a pcp great shooting

[@KrisFjord]

Si/Davy I'm buying a 97kt which I plan to have stage2 tuned by SFS I know you both have the rifle in. 22 but I'm just wondering what you would recommend for a beginner, should I get the rifle in .177 or .22 for longer range quarry? Would the .177 be effective at ranges of 40-50yards? I will be doing plenty of target practice before moving on to live quarry Thanks in advance

[@nathanbrown1916]

hi Kris Rose I know im not si or davy lol but I just thought that I should tell you what I think what cal you should use for hunting. I personally would use the .22 cal version just because it has more knockdown power and the wind can effect the pellet less than the .177 but don't be put of from the .22 at further ranges just spend time with it and you will be fine.

[@kiskikiski]

hi nice video. i have a standard out of the box .177 - hw97kt. its the perfect springer but could u tell me what stage 2 tuned is all about ? :)

[@y59mrf]

Great shooting but with a springer even better WOW. Ive got a HW77K i'm going to see about getting it tuned at SFS.

[@FreeManShooting]

HW97 is one great rifle! Good shooting Si! Regards

[@Mystro1020]

Great marksmandship!

[@877cms]

I had my 97KT from SFS great shop! There's a wait for the tuning atm of 4weeks, was 8 weeks before xmas. Would you recommend stage 1, stage 2 or both for an enthusiastic amateur?

[@steinderbush]

Simon, you are one great Marksman!!! What did Tony realy change on your rifle !???

[@neppik007]

Hello Mate I have a Cometa Fenix 400 Carbine Air Rifle .22 what Hawke scope would you recommend CHEERS

[@charlieshuldham7535]

excellent shooting si. i have been looking for a spring piston rifle and am undecided between the hw97 and the tx200 as both seem to be excellent rifles and both in roughly the same price range. which one do you recommend? cheers.

[@mobi_61]

Nice video. I want to ask a few questions. When shooting at 50 meters what position did you use? On a bag in a sitting position as at 25 meters? What distance is zeroing (25, or 30 meters)? How many centimeters in a decrease interference from zero? What is the muzzle velocity in this caliber? Thank you for this video. Best regards from Slovakia.

[@StevesProjects]

How much does a tune up like this cost Si?

[@izeppy]

Si, what's the difference between a stage 1 and 2 tune by Tony Wall ? Thnx

[@g20042007]

Really liking these HW97 videos. Have you shot a HW97 with the standard stock (non thumbhole)? Do you prefer the thumbhole version to the standard?

[@alb38]

Hi Si, great shooting as always bud. just 1 question mate. what's the difference in a stage 1 and 2 tune? i've recently bought an HW97kt from SFS. Spoke to Tony who talked me through the tuning process. I decided on a stage 1 tune. Absolutely awesome, i would think a stage 1 is good enough for the average shooter/ hunter, would you agree?.

[@leftymadrid]

Hi there Si, been following your stuff for a long time. Question, on the HW97KT you used, how many lbs. on the trigger pull??? This would be great to know, thx! take care. Incredible shooting my friend!

[@carsmax]

One more question Si. I own a HW 77k with no threaded barrel . What you think about these "stick on" silencers from Weihrauch?? Are they good enough for dampening the cracking noise . My´n is a sub 12 fpe. Thanks man. hope I get an answer!!

[@sid35gb]

It’s not a public place it’s on MOD property.

[@VerminHuntersTV]

We will be doing a video clip of the differences soon mate. Si.

[@VerminHuntersTV]

Great comment thanks very much.

[@raulfuentes6665]

Excelente tirada amigo de donde eres que buen rifle hw97 lo mejor de lo mejor 👌 👍 😉 👏

[@VerminHuntersTV]

Yes Ive shot both mate. I like a thumb hole stock myself though so prefer the KT model.

[@kfarndale12]

Great shooting pal.whats your line of work then pal?

[@Wolfyjinny]

Just a quick question (I'm sure you have probably answered before). When you do the out door test in the car park, is it not breaking the Public Places and Highways UK law ? I'm not trying to kibosh your shooting or stop you from producing some cracking vids, I just wanted to know the workaround if there is one.

[@porkycrook]

Cracking shooting mate, no more then me along with a lot of others have come to expect from "THE MASTER". You have now managed to cut playing cards and splitting pellets on a knife blade. Whats next? How about having a compotition for subscribers to suggest some trickshot that you can't do, out to a maximum of say 40 yards, You to put up a prize for anybody that can think of a trick that you cant do. Me first me first me first. Shoot through a "polo mint hole" at 25mtrs or slalom? Good Luck

[@smithy2k13]

where did u get ya lazer counter from bud

[@Jackjack530]

Quality shooting sir! Love these videos! What rifle could you recommend for someone on a budget of £250? (Pregnant wife won't give me any more) lol. I've been looking at the new hammerli 550. Is this something I can have tuned eventually? I'm currently using a diana 70/79 I found in my mother in laws shed and I restored myself! I'm hitting pigeons from 30 yards accurately.

[@pastalavista5754]

Normally I'd say don't shoot at a target near aerial cables (mounted on the wall) but with that sort of accuracy and with your skill, it's really not a problem! I was only thinking about buying a HW97k before, now I'm positive. Can I ask what scope you're using here?

[@VerminHuntersTV]

Hawke Panorama 4-12 x50 AO ir.

[@iain777uk]

how much does it cost to tune the hw97kt ?

[@VerminHuntersTV]

Hi Dave i got your video response and approved it buddy. Nice shot on the pigeon by your pal. The Theoben Eliminator is a lot more powerful than my sub 12 FPE air rifle buddy. Have you got the video of your mate with his HW97 (sub 12) shooting them small long range groups? Si.

[@Ederandnl]

VerminHuntersTV ik

[@luisvazquez3703]

wow nice mi friend

[@ncs2824]

wat does he mean by tuning? srry if it sounds like a dumb question but im new to airguns and stuff like that. if anyone can answer I would greatly appreciate it. thanks

[@ManUtdrozb]

how do you tune the rifle

[@6brettes]

is the hw98 any better?

[@VerminHuntersTV]

Yes defo
