World's ultimate Air Rifle set up!?

There are so many elements that go into today's Field Target Air Rifle's; precision instruments, able to place a small peice of lead downrange onto the same spot, time after time.
So what are these elements, what advantage do they bestow on the competitive FT/HFT shooter - if any? And where can you find them?
In this Vid I'll be giving you a walk-around of my current FT rig, which has taken me 7 years to bring together; breaking it down into it's component parts and explaining why you might want to consider something similar for your own set up.
So join me as we delve into what makes a competitive modern Field Target rifle! Enjoy 😊
Who am I:
A shooter from an early age, I got my first airgun for my 9th birthday and have been hooked ever since. I started shooting Field Target competitively at 14 and by the time I was 18 I had won numerous national competitions. In 2004, at the ripe old age of 28, I won the WFTF World Field Target Championships.
I remain an active FT shooter and am still (somehow) managing to qualify for the England team. But I’ve also expanded my interests in recent years, shooting 10m Air Rifle at club and County level and also obtaining my Fire Arms Certificate and dipping my toe into the murky waters of .22 Rimfire and Smallbore shooting generally.
This channel covers all of these disciplines and hopefully more, charting my experiences and I’d like to think occasionally imparting the bit of useful knowledge and tips along the way. Enjoy! 😊

All I ever hear is barrel bands- barrel bands; you can't beat a FREE FLOATING barrel for accuracy.

[@1001space]

great video try a march majesta they don't budge . who made the extender rods on the gemini ?

[@theinsideedge0707]

Thank you. The rods from the back of the alutech to the Gemini base plate are genuine Anschutz parts - the extra long (110mm?) The extra 'wing' extensions on.the Gemini are, again, genuine parts; ive tried aftermarket parts but as its only a friction fit, they usually cant take the weight/tension, and end up slipping.

[@ralffroberg1322]

Thanks! for charing your knowledge. That is a lot of work you have been putting in to that gun. Its a beaty, well done.

[@andymason007]

A really good informative video. Looking forward to the next one. Well done Dan. 👌

[@jaywhitney789]

I will say your rifle is stunning. I've been shooting FT for years just as a hobby. And i will say its one of the nicest ive ever seen 😎🔫🤙🏽

[@theinsideedge0707]

Thank you Sir! ☺️ There are some lovely pieces of kit on the cicuit and no two alike, which i think makes FT pretty unique 👍🏻

[@haroldrushton6735]

Hi Dan! Long time no see!! Great video and awesome rifle. Very well done my friend. It's great to see you putting out quality videos on FT. Keep up the good work. It's great to see a top shooter putting out good information. All the best from the USA! 👍 👊🏼

[@theinsideedge0707]

Hi Harold 👋🏻 I hope you're well. Thank you, I appreciate that and will do! 😊

[@TheSpencer1976]

The anschutz has an amazing trigger. I love shooting my 9015.

[@theinsideedge0707]

Im running the 4k in mine now from the 9015. So crisp mate 👌🏼

[@siypic]

@@theinsideedge0707 Is it noticably different from a 2002....... which I know you shot for many years?

[@TheSpencer1976]

@@theinsideedge0707 It will be interesting to see how the LG400FT compares once Nick Murphy has worked his magic on it.

[@markrichens6893]

I enjoyed that one even more than the range bag. Thank you. Fantastic rifle. What windicator and windication fluff are you using please? spent the whole video hoping to find out :)

[@theinsideedge0707]

Hi Mark, sorry, I totally forgot that! LOL. TBH Ive just gone with a cable tie with a hole drilled in it and a bit of chenille - it doesn't get heavy when wet like wool would. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@markmayer9290]

Brilliant video and I'd love to use a setup like this for FT. In the US we are allowed up to 20 ft/lbs which makes it a bit easier. Can you share details about the upper half of the butt hook that slides over your shoulder, Can't find anything like it on the Gemini website.

[@theinsideedge0707]

Hi Mark, maybe they dont make that model anymore? The links are all genuine Gemini parts. That set up - or similar - is very common in the uk - although some would say the amount of links I have is extreme?😆

[@shaunelliott2967]

The beard to be feared. Nice video Dan keep it up mate

[@RedGallagher-fz3bk]

Great vid Dan! Appreciate the work that goes into making something like this!

[@theinsideedge0707]

Thanks mate 😊

Keith Allen was the first to put a transfer port on the 2002 Shutz Dan .

[@jaywhitney789]

I have a Hawke sidewinder ED 10-50x60. Im very tempted to get a sitron

[@theinsideedge0707]

The Hawke's are decent glass for the money but a Sightron or similar would be a step up in class when it comes to rangefinding imho.

[@jaywhitney789]

@theinsideedge0707 ah right ok, so on my ED its 1/4 MOA i see alot of people running 1/8 MOA in FT. Do you have any experience shooting 1/8 MOA

[@theinsideedge0707]

Mine is 1/4 MOA. The difference between 1/4MOA and 1/8 MOA at 50 yards is roughly 1.5mm. I dont know about you but I definitely wobble more than 1.5mm! 🤣 So in practice I dont really think it makes a difference. Although sometimes, on those 'in between' ranges, I do think it'd be nice.

[@jaywhitney789]

@theinsideedge0707 Ok cool, right might have a look on optic warehouse 🔫😎. Thanks for that info

[@jaywhitney789]

So I've been trying to get my hands on an S3 10-50x60 it seems like their is none in the uk for sale at the minute

[@scottcottontx]

Good video. I assume you range at 50x, what magnification do you shoot at? I was shooting at 50x for everything but the positionals but I have started having more success shooting at 20x. I'm shooting a springer, so shooting at 20x gives me the added benefit of seeing the pellet in flight. This is with a Falcon T50.

[@theinsideedge0707]

Hi Scott. Thanks. Yes, I range in 50 mag, then mag down to 30 for everything. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@leecolclough2492]

Just subbed cracking rifle been thinking on a 9015 shot anshutz barrels and CLW aswell looks like a 55yd tack driver 😂👍👍

Looks like something from the imagination of Jules Verne,in a good way 👍

Another great video 😎

Great stuff mate

[@siypic]

Excellent video Dan....

[@theinsideedge0707]

Thanks. Im learning a few more editing tricks with each vid, so hopefully that makes em a bit more immersive - especially at 26mins! 😆 Thanks for watching.

[@bertbccfu9564]

Is it limited to 12 foot pounds? Seems like it would be a fun gun at like 100 ft lb

😆 good luck to you Phil

I have given your channel a shout out, hope it helps.

[@grahamthebaronhesketh.]

That looks expensive.

[@theinsideedge0707]

I suppose altogeter I've probably put c£3.5k into it. But its built over a period of time, so not too bad 😁

[@grahamthebaronhesketh.]

@@theinsideedge0707 If you get that amount of pleasure from it then it is worth it, but if it is on an FAC would you not be better off with rimfire LR? Either way it is seriously impressive.

No, its

@@theinsideedge0707 It is a superb looking thing though.
