There are three things you can watch forever: fire, water, and how Alex shoots pigeons
I'm so pinning this one to the top of the comments, thank you so much, mate, you made my day 🤣
Wait, this isn't a pin of shame 😶
The cat in your video is now your best friend!!! She's really cute when she picks up the downed bird, you see her expression is priceless, and then she walks away on her tippy toes, all proud and happy
You're spot on about that, my friend 🙂 Apparently she completely steals the show on every video of mine these days 😄
Another superb example of feral pigeon control. And how to keep wild cats happily fed. Those new H N slugs are literally devastating. Like hitting them with a sledgehammer. As ever brilliant shooting and footage Alex 👏👏👏👏👏
You said it, brother, they are like sledge hammers indeed 🙂 Thank you again for watching 🤝
My friend I love all all of your videos. I find them to be a great learning tool. long may they continue & the trolls & haters can cry and grind their teeth! 😫
Many thanks, my friend, and that thing about haters you said so well 🙂 Cheers! 🤝
Hahaha.... Like that the cat is picking up your targets..... Called teamwork.
Thanks for taking the time to make the video and share with the cat....
I thank you, Kenneth 🙂 Cats are a part of all my videos at that permission of mine these days. Enjoy 😊
Always a pleasure to see you use slugs, Alex. The carnage they wreak is unparalleled, the sky rats drop like limp marionettes.
I hope you kept that collared dove. Good eating for a casual dinner.
Thank you so much, mate, doves are really good eating 🙂
Brilliant marksmanship. Just love your commentary
Thank you, Stephen 🙂 It means a lot, mate 🤝
The cats r at their weekly buffet. Haha good shots.
Thanks for the video Alex, it was a nice break.
Thank you for stopping by, Pete, always an honour!
To shoot 34g I think it is ideal to set the regulator at 175-180bar, and install an extra plenum. Great video as always!
Thanks, mate, I wanted to see if the gun could handle those heavy slugs without me cranking up the pressure that high.
Hahaha, split screen with Mama Katze 🐈🐈She gets a fresh meal and you don't have to bother to touch it. I have seen the South African gentleman (Gerhard and Matt) use these H&N Slugs and they expand fantastically. I really appreciate the mindful camera angles and production (love the cats)! Great content, thank you!
Thank you, Greg, I'm truly glad you like the content 🙂 Cheers! More stuff I hope you'll find interesting coming soon.
Yes Sir! And this one is by far your best air rifle used pesting. She's an absolute stunner! 💥💪😱😱😱
Thank you so much, mate, I appreciate it 🙂
Stunning, I would like to bet that cat loves you 😅
😄 Or just what I do for her 😉 Thanks, brother 🤝
Brings back memories from my youth cleaning the neighbourhood roofs and getting yelled at by the neighbours.
🤣 🤣
They should've appreciated your efforts 😉
@@AirRifleActivities tell me about it, in the 90s they had hunters once a year shooting of the flying rats with what I belive was 22lr (Im not sure) but when we kids shot from the balcony it was mostly shouting and threats of eviction. This was in sweden.
I have been awaiting on another video from you bro for awhile glade to see that you are back...
Enjoy, mate, more coming soon, thanks 👍
Man, I love how the cat jumps at the sound of the muzzle blast but, it is because she knows it is dinner bell sound for her. Getting more used to seeing you shoot her food down from above. Great shooting and content as always. Keep them silos sanitized with lead cleaner! 🤣
Well said 😄 Will do, friend, thank you for watching 🙂🤝
Alex this is one of my favorites. You had me laughing at so many spots and you took some long pokes and did great. The cats had me cracking up too. Sorry I haven't gotten to view as much as usual but I'm trying to get caught up. Keep them coming brother.
Thank you, Tommy, you have no idea how much it means to me that you find time to watch my content despite all that you're going through... Recover soon, my friend 🤞🙏
It's great to see you, young man. . . love your videos, and also the cat. Of course, I'm in the states, but those sky rats used to eat much of my chicken's food. Darn good shooting in my book, well done. Looking forward to seeing you send more feathers flying. Stay safe bro..
Thank you again for watching and for you comment, Sir 🙂 "Used" to eat - I hope the past tense means you took care of them 😉
@@AirRifleActivities Yeah, over 40 tears ago - used to pop them with an old BB gun. Loved the sound when the BB went "smack" as it hit home. Now it's more fun grabbing a hot cup of coffee. kick back and watch you young guys kick ass. There's a parking lot now where my garden once was. Stay safe bro.
Paul
I love it how all the cats know what you're doing there
They are quite a sight indeed, thanks, bud 🙂🤝
Awesome PCP but that hammer spring ringing…wow. Still…lead down range and spot on!😊
Thanks, Heath 👍 Much less ping with the new P-3.
amazing shots. And thanks you for feeding all the cats
My pleasure, Ron 🙂 Thank you 🤝
Man,, those slugs hits very very hard!! Great shooting has always brother! Awesome
Absolutely, Manny, thanks for watching, brother 🙂
Grate video amigo
Those new slugs are hitting hard
They really are, cheers, mate 🙂
Another great video Alex, never get tired of them. Good shooting Brother.
Thank you, Bobby, means a lot 🤝 More coming soon.
Hi Alex from a cool, damp East Yorkshire. Another enjoyable vid of shooting the winged rats, whilst I'm cooking dinner.
My garden shooting is on hold for a few weeks, as my wife has had a big operation on her ankle/foot, so she cannot put her foot down for about six weeks. Unfortunately she can see my target area from our bedroom, and doesn't like the the pigeons being shot.
Hey, Stephen. I'm really sorry to hear about that and I honestly hope your better half makes a quick recovery and gets to show more understanding for what her knight in shining armour does 😅
@@AirRifleActivities I am keeping her sweet as well, as, whilst she was in hospital, I went to a nearby gun shop, Duncan's Gunsmiths in Hull, and fell in love with more than one rifle. I feel an upgrade coming on!
Howdy from Sacramento! Great video over my breakfast this morning- gets me pumped up for late dove season here in California. Thanks for sharing!
Happy hunting and straight shooting, brother, I'm glad I set you in the mood for some dove smacking 🙂 Thanks and good luck!
Great video man, I always look forward to your videos and your ongoing adventures with the resident kitty lol
😄 More of those coming soon, mate, thank you 🙂
Great stuff as always pard, keep up the good work 👍
Thanks, mate, more coming soon 🙂
Awesome video Alex and I'm thinking that the cats storing the pigeons in a special place that only she knows. Excellent shooting and the heavy slugs just stop them in their tracks. Cheers brother 👍
It's like she has a fridge somewhere, right 😄 Thank you, Donald, catch you on the next one, bud 🙂
Yeah, 855fps with 34 grains = a nice big hello!! The one on the railing at 7:20, I was expecting a 'Texas enema' but he lucked out. That 142yd shot was great, even a 'graze' at that range is damn good shooting. BTW, I enjoyed how you encouraged folks to leave comments. lol Another enjoyable vid. Cheers, Alex. 🍻
Thank you, David, I knew if anyone would notice the "warning" sign, it'd be you 😉
Alex's voice sounds like Christopher Lambert from the Highlander movie, wich is pretty cool!
Now I understand what you mean when you say the Highlander 😄👍
Nice to see that at least one of us is getting some shooting done 🙂 Heat pump installation moving forward, when it is up and running I can get back to some shooting. Been testing the 13 and 16 grain.177 slugs in my Prophet Preformance Compact and with the same settings that push the .22 18,13grain jsb heavy at about 285m/s the 13grain .177 slug moves at 275m/s, can't recall what speed the 16 grains got, be interesting to continue experimenting. 🙂 I think it is time to do the Lelya 2.0 to Leshiy 2 swap done soon, dreamt that I met with Francisco in my garaget somehow so I could show him what excellent condition Lelya is in. 😄. Looking forward to your next video, stay safe! 👍
😄 By all means, do tell him that you dreamt of him 😄
You really cracked me up, Hasse 🙂
Good luck with your tests and your heating installation, friend, and straight shooting 👍
nice shooting alex,those slugs really do the business, and how the cat associates you with dinner🍖.
It really does, John, thank, buddy, I'll make sure I keep providing dinner for the felines 😉
Glad your back, Keep them coming , Best gunting videos on TH-cam
You give me so much credit, mate, thank you, great to have you watching 🤝
👍👍
Great stuff Alex 👍.
Thanks, Henry 👍
Outstanding accuracy nice shooting 💥H&N slugs💥 hell yeah , awesome impacts love it when them sky rats hit the concrete slab !!
Great video and footage like allways my friend , never a dull moment watching your videos !!
You just made my day, thank you for watching and for the great comment 🙂
@@AirRifleActivities 🎯 Your welcome 🎯
by now that cat must live in a palace of pidgeon bones! haha great video!
Thanks, mate, I bet it does 😄
Hiya bud another good video as always and loving the humour your putting in aswell 😉 as always pal keep up the great work and happy hunting
Thank you, Alex, most kind of you, see you on the next one, brother 👍
One of my favourite videos 📹 thankyou👏👏
I thank you, Anthony 🙂🤝
Love the video as always! Just plan to order some 40 grain's in 0.25 cal. for my L2... cant wait to try it.
Thank you, friend, and straight shooting 🙂👍
You don’t disappoint, good shooting man.
Thank you, Colin, I'm glad you liked it, mate 🙂
what can i say body , nice video and as always thanks for taking your time to answer!
Any time, buddy, my pleasure, and thank you for watching 🙂
Greetings from the uk ,excellent shooting mate ,love the freindship with the feral cat 🐈!
Thank you so much, Tim 🙂 The cat follows me every time I go there, it even knows my car 😄 Cheers!
That cat gonna starve when you break for the winter 🤣
I don't intend to, so she's covered ;)
@@AirRifleActivities hard core! Continues shooting through the Russian winter! I don't go out if there's a frost 😂
@@captainboing thanks, mate, but I'm not Russian 🙂
@@AirRifleActivities sorry dude, not very good on accents. No offence meant
@@captainboing and absolutely none taken 🙂
Good shooting, keep the great videos coming 👍
Thank you, Nigel, more coming soon 🙂
The goray details ha ha great shooting
Yup, there were some of those 😉 Thanks, mate 👍
i love watch your video, because cats always catch your birds...
😄👍🏿🐱🐦
And I don't mind when they do, thanks, mate 🙂
Metal slug pigeons xD
I think you should focus on quantity instead of distance.
Love your videos. Thank you!
Glad you like them, mate :)
And you're right - in some places that's exactly what I do; like that indoor permission with the thousands of sky rats I used to have and made at least a dozen videos of.
Thank you 🙂
Great shooting, and thanks for another cracking video
Thank you for watching again, Jeff 🙂 I appreciate it, mate.
Great video and super nice shoots Alex! But the cats makes me thinking, do you ever wonder where the cats are taking the pigeons too after the job is "done"c
Thank you, friend 🙂 I'm not sure where they take them... I think it's on the far end of that complex, a place that's not easily accessible. Apparently those cats are a bit on the wild side (that's why they still won't let me get too close), and wild animals like to eat their food in private.
Good shooting Akex and another great video, I love watching them 👍👌
Alex even ,whoops 😱
LOL, it's okay, Phillip, Akex is good enough ;) Thank you, friend!
Nice video, nice shooting as always , keep up the good work
Will do, Mark, I appreciate it, thanks 👍🙂
Red nail polish could help visibility on slug but, I really enjoyed the video.
Thank you, Jeremy, I've tried the polisher. These days I use spray paint or paint marker.
Brilliant as always 👌 From uk
Thank you, David 🙂 Cheers!
meat waffles for the kitties today! 😊
...today and every day I pay that place a visit 😉 Cheers, mate!
I bet that kitty's flat has a comfy bed of feathers!!
Yes, some guys say it also must have a hidden fridge somewhere 😉
Yes and a huge appitite
Котика сегодня накормил от души.Он не успевал бегать собирать.Отличные выстрелы!!!👍👍👍
Thank you again, Alexander 🙂 The cat collects everything, if not immediately after the shot, then later after I have left the vicinity.
@@AirRifleActivities мне нравятся твои видео!.Всегда жду новых выпусков видео!!!Привет тебе из Великого Новгорода !!!
Espectacular como siempre. Muy buenos los slug 👏👏👍👍
They do a great job, yes, thanks, bud 🙂
All men loves cats and nice shooting.
🙂 Thanks, buddy!
Good job mate!
Thanks for the visit, buddy 🙂
Love the cat.
The felines are awesome and help clean up the place. Thanks, bud.
Great shooting man, love the slugs on them sky rats...
Thanks, bud, they really hit hard.
Hi Alex , from South Africa . I am Billy , thanks for your expert videos , i love watching them , like your long shots , they are awesome . Alex at what distance do you zero your scope in ?. I have gor a Nova Vista Leviation 5.5mm , i have not put any slugs through it as yet , i use JSB 18.13 grain pellets and have put down a couple of game birds (guinea fowls) with it . Will get mesome slugs to be able to do some longer shots of them . I have a place here where i do some sky rat pest controll as well , one afternoon session in 40min i put down 74 of them rats . Keep up the good work .
74 in less than an hour, of that's not impressive, I don't know what is! Well done, bud!
To answer your question - I zero at 50 meters, but, as you know, with the incline that changes a lot.
Good luck with the slug tests, it could be a very cumbersome task sometimes.
Intelligent cats
I have to give it to them. You have to see my latest videos - these days the tabby comes running as soon as I get there and follows me almost constantly. It's like I have a hunting cat with me, a retriever 😉
Perfect video 💪🏻 one question do you see any expansion on the slugs around 850 fps? How much did it expand if you recover one thank you
Thanks, mate 🙂 I must admit I haven't recovered one of those slugs in specific, but when it comes to H&N slugs, I've made some tests on clay at 50 meters, and the expansion is insane. You can see those videos on the list of videos on my channel. Cheers!
The feline obesity remark earned you a subscriber. Nice shooting btw.
Thank you so much, friend, and welcome to the channel, it's an honour to have you watching! 🙂
And thanks for appreciating my attempts at humour too 😄
Awesome! I wonder how these will do in my 120fpe rifle. I thinking pretty much like a good hollow point 22lr (this does 125fpe). Same caliber but airgun leads usually a tiny bit more softer so better expansion. Is this same soft lead like jsb pellet?
120 fpe gun?? That's more like a FLAK cannon, bud 😅 I'm sure they'll perform great out of such a powerful rifle.
IMO the alloy H&N use is harder than the one of the JSBs.
Thanks, brother.
Like always Fabulous
Thank you, friend 🙂
Awesome shooting buddy wow those H&N slugs performed very accurate out of your set up great job my friend thanks for sharing bsafe buddy 👍oh by the way that cat must have a refrigerator lol
I keep trying to find it, and perhaps leave the catch in it for her 😂
Thank you, Chris 👍
Again very nice shooting, please keep going 👍🏻
But i am still waiting for some double kills 😂
Thank you, Joschka, and please have some patience :) Catch you on the next one.
Great shooting
Cheers, Anthony 🙂
Just impressive.!
Much obliged, buddy, thank you 🙂
Good Job !!!!!!!
Cheers, brother 🙂
Nice shooting as always! try regulator pressure at 180 and adjust hammer for 930-950fps.
Thanks, Brendan. The hammer spring plays a secondary role with the Prophet 2 - due to the new pressure assisted valve design. The hammer needs to be adjusted so much that it opens the valve. From that point you regulate the velocity only by setting the reg working pressure.
Hola amigo muy bueno su video es impresionante la potencia del rti golpea muy fuerte con las slugs 34 g excelente saludos de Chile
Many thanks, Juan, those slugs hit really hard indeed, gracias, amigo :)
Thanks for another great video, love the sky rat shooting. I'm sure your feline friends love it too. Cheers from Texas.
I'm sure they do, yes, thank you kindly, David 🙂
Great video again! I'm trying the 21gr .218's in my P2. One hole at 25yds. Hope to stretch them out to 100yds soon.
I'm also about to go back to shooting lighter slugs, mate. Straight shooting! 🙂
Espectacular video buenos tiros 👏👏 saludos desde Argentina!!
Muchas gracias, Jorge, saludos to Argentina 🙂
Disparo perfeito amigo 🇧🇷
Até o próximo vídeo.
Muchas gracias, hermano, see you on the next one, coming soon 🙂
Коллега, хорошая работа! 😎👍
Спасибо, коллега 🙂
Nice shooting as always.
Cheers, brother 🙂🤝
Beautiful shots, how many pigeons have you dispatched in total ? 1000 ? 🤔 🎂
Thanks, buddy, I don't count, but the number is much higher ⬆️
❤ good job
Thanks, bud 🙂
Wow Alex that some long range shooting, absolutely fantastic mate, fantastic, why isnt that cat as big as a lion with all those sky rats lol Cheers 😁😁👌👌👍👍👍👍
😂 I guess it's fasting throughout the week, waiting for the weekend to arrive 😂
Thank you, friend!
Yippyyy!!! ❤
Enjoy, dear, cheers 🙂
Kool 🎯👍🏻✌🏻
Thanks, bud 🙂
im love the sound
Which sound exactly, friend? 🙂
@@AirRifleActivities aim, shot and the impact.
That's a good performence with an airgun.
@@marcuskopetzki481 thanks, bud, I love that sound too 🙂🤝
That noise might have been fans blowing air up thru the grain to keep it from rotting
Yes, that may have been it, mate, I don't know much about that stuff 🙂
Nice shooting. Are you using the rpb or the long range barrel?
It's the RPB, buddy 🙂 I have another video where I tried the long range pellet barrel - it's called a "pellet barrel" for a reason 😉
@@AirRifleActivities thanks forr the response and the info.
Alex você parece o Bob Lee Suegger. 😂 lindos tiros. Parabéns
😅 Honestly, I had to look up who that guy is 😅 Thanks, buddy!
Already liked your video 👍
Many thanks, bud 🙂
i love your videos and about time you started smacking em with heavy slugs.
they just hit harder, and the impact sounds is just right not to mention the feather cloud :)
i can only use .177 in my country but 13 grains Zans are really effective.
you can see several .177 ZAN¨ED pigeons in my PROMO 2 video on my channel.
Thank you, friend, I will check them out, straight shooting 🙂👍
Awsome shooting the sky rats i use the 28g h&n slugs in my prophet 2 .25 cal and there damm good on the rabbits etc
I'm sure they're, buddy, I used to shoot 28 grain slugs myself with my Prophet Gen 1 in its .25 cal configuration :) Straight shooting and thanks!
@@AirRifleActivities im thinking of changing the barrel in my prophet one for the 22 rpb barrel
Nice shoots
Cheers, bud 🙂
wooww!!! 105 yds!! impressive!
Thanks, mate, some longer shots in the rest of my videos. Cheers 🙂🤝
Very good
Thanks, bud 🙂
another appearance of the hungry colleagues!
They appear every time I go there 😄
Another video starring the hungry felines going live in days. Stay tuned, bud 🙂
That's some chunk of lead that Phrophet is chucking out, certainly makes an impact lol, don't you get to shoot in the grain buildings anymore or are they empty?, cracking video mate
Thanks, brother 👍 The silos were in some maintenance mode, they were turning the elevators on and off all the time, scaring the birds.
What is that metallic high pitched sound your rifle makes right after every shot.
That is the sound of a small inlet valve that's installed before the main valve of the gun (where the hammer hits).
Laws of physics more lead in the head heavier you hit your head when you hit the ground..lol cheers boss from uk....
😂 Thanks, mate, love your interpretation of the laws of physics! 😂
