Wow 🤩 your adjustment for wind 🌬 is top notch.
Good one ☝️
Keep on doing what you are doing.
Cheers, mate, I really appreciate the nice feedback 🙂🤝
Woooow.....to much and much fun here with the rifle
Yes, it's a great gun 🙂 Thank you.
EPIC footage.......wow!! 😮
Thank you so much, Bob 🙂🤝
Excellent video again my friend - a great first outing for the Prophet!
It was exciting indeed, buddy 🙂 Thank you for the great comment 🤝
A very nice video, my friend ... and congratulations to you, the new rifle ... is really wonderful and worth a try ... we are eagerly waiting for your newcomers and all thanks to you for your beautiful efforts.
And I thank you for your kind comment and for watching the content, mate! I appreciate it 🤝
YU are the best sharpshooter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a recognition, my friend 🤩 Thank you!
I really like this, and I've been waiting for your latest video, friends
Thank you, friend 🙂 Really glad you enjoyed it!
@@AirRifleActivities yes😁👍
Catchin' up on some old vids I missed. 01:30, he didn't even lift his wings. Great shot!
Thanks, David 🙂 It's like a flashback, that one is two years old, I think.
@@AirRifleActivities A great shot!
@@darthtleilaxu4021 thank you, friend 🙂
Jello my friend well this video escaped me some how, but just watched, Brilliant video mate, and Excellent shooting especially in that crazy wind, and congrats on the double hit, stay safe my friend Cheers
Hey there, Casper, so nice to hear from you 🙂 Cheers, my friend 👍
Excelente Alex!!!!
Gracias, Franz! ☺️🤝
Meu irmão, QUE MÁ-QUI-NA !!!!!!! 😲 Parabéns pela bela aquisição👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 . Hugs from Brazil 😉
Thank you so much, brother 🙂🤝 Best regards to you and all the shooters in Brazil!
@@AirRifleActivities btw. I have a Chinese Go pro for recording. It does 1080p120 or 720p240. Is 120 fps enough for the slow mo shots? What do you use for the slow motion shots? I was thinking just filming it all in 1080p120 ? What do you recommend?
@@Viking_X I have a GoPro Hero 7 Black with an aftermarket lens (you have to change the lens on the original GoPro, it's not good for shooting through a scope). And yes, 120 fps is good enough for recording slow mo of projectiles fired out of an airgun. I record at 240. And I always record at 1080p. I hope that helps. As far as Chinese action cams are concerned, the usual choice by shooters and TH-camrs is the FireFly 8SE with the 90 degree lens.
@@AirRifleActivities Thank you for explaining.
Right now i dont have a real sidewinder style mount but only a mount that places mobile at the end of the scope "old fashion mount" and i think ill just clamp the "Go pro" on the scope with a clamp, until i can afford a true Sidewinder. The Alibaba Go pro has the option in camera to do either 90, 120 or 170 degrees, so it should work on a true mount when i get one.
I just spend the money ordering a T2 Pro Thermal with picatinny mount so the Sidewinder has to wait a little unless i can find a cheap 3d printet Clone somewhere.
I love my prophet. I have the 25 cal and it is lights out accurate
I have a .25 cal conversion kit, too, so I will be able to see that firsthand 🙂
Nice new gun buddy!!! Looks like u got your self a killing machine!!! My god when u hit that sick pigeon on that brick ledge wow man brain’s splatted every where man!!! Powerhouse!!!
Thanks, brother 🙂 The gun is really very powerful for a .22 cal gun, it's basically like a .25 cal. I even think it's shooting too hot right now, and I might reduce the muzzle velocity a little so there's more power transfer on the targets - the footage will get even more spectacular then 😉
Congrats on the new rig we have been looking at the Prophet just waiting to see how it holds up.
Thanks, brother, it performs great 🙂
@@AirRifleActivities I didn't have a doubt it would shoot just want to see if any problems show up. As much as you shoot we will know soon. Keep stacking up the white ones 😁
отличные выстрелы, огромное спасибо за проделанную работу над видео🤗🤗🤗🤗
@@Sawyer12457 thank you one more time, friend, most kind of you!
Amazing ...one shoot one kill....pest control
Yes, and sometimes one shot two kills 😉 Thanks, dude 👍
@@AirRifleActivities wow i like it, shoot double kill
Wow your aim is amazing
Thank you, brother 👍
That RTI Prophit is sweet very accurate , real nice shooting, I almost bought one but I went with the brocock 25cal XR sniper magnum , I enjoy watching your videos very much love that PROPHIT 👍
Thanks a mil, Phillip 🙂 I remember that you told me about your Brocock - I think it's a great gun too, and you can't go wrong with any rifle in their lineup.
@@AirRifleActivities Thank You , can't wait to see your next video, never a dull moment 👍
Awesome video Alex first time I've seen anyone use this badass RTI gun for the right reason which is long range shooting... great shooting in the wind ...nice headshots man really enjoy it thanks for sharing buddy bsafe ... I'm sure it will shoot slugs very accurate with that CZ barrel it has ty again bud
Thanks a mil, Chris, really nice of you 😊 The barrel is a LW polygonal designed by the RTI and manufactured by LW in accordance with their specs. I have a CZ barrel too, but it's .25 cal - I have a .25 kit for this gun, sth to test in the near future 😉
@@AirRifleActivities awesome brother
Great video Alex & shooting in that wind. I think your last double was actually a triple, but I could be wrong. Love the videos.
Thanks, Shane 🙂 Several other guys said the same about this double being a triple. Thanks for noticing, brother 👍
@@AirRifleActivities Great video and great shooting.
Im starting a little air gun pest channel also and your a big inspiration.
Btw that soundtrack is awesome. Who is playing?
I have been waiting for the first video with the Prophet. It doesn't look like you are at any disadvantage with the .22 vs the .25 That baby knocks 'em dead! Nice shooting Pal!
Yes, Robert 👍 The power is almost the same as with my Matador .25. The Prophet really packs a punch. Thanks, buddy 🙂
Just, awesome... men such a great shooting brother. Congrats
Thank you, Manny 🙂 I might've said it before - it really means a lot 🤝
Air Rifle Activities brother, I really enjoy your videos. I learn a lot from you!🔥👍
Congrarulation for this superbe clip😊😊😊🍻🍻🍻best wishes from switzerland Urs
Hi, Urs, and thank you big time, friend 🙂
Excellent shooting!!!
Thanks, Bruce, I appreciate you watching and posting 🙂
Excelente vídeo, ya lo esperaba con ansias
Gracias amigo, me alegro que te haya gustado 🙂🤝
Great shooting! I miss my Priest2 after watching this. Very accurate guns!
Thank you, brother 👍 I was really pleasantly surprised by the Prophet.
Everyone needs a Priest/Prophet in their armoury.
@@tonyb4364, I'm glad you think so, it's really a great gun.
@@AirRifleActivities I have both MK1 & MK2 Priests, they are as you say great guns.
Awesome shooting ! Especially without a spotter doing your wind .
I try to read the wind myself, mate, thank you 🙂🤝
@@AirRifleActivities What I meant was that your skill level is always at the top the way you do it !
@@robertkreiling1746 thank you, To set, that is most kind of you, you guys be me too much credit, mate 🙂
Cracking shooting again mate
Plenty to go at though you lucky man
Thanks, Terence 🙂 A lot of sky rats lately, but we'll reduce their numbers again 😎🎯
01:19 - what an incredible shot
Thanks, brother 🙂
Very nice video
Thank you, friend, enjoy! 😊🤝
Excelent shots!
Thank you, friend 🙂👍
17:20 it was a TRIPLE kill!!
Congrats!!
Thanks, brother 🙂 Other guys said the same. When I examined this shot more carefully, it turned out you're right. Thanks for watching and pointing that out 🤝
@@AirRifleActivities I've seen you from México.
Greetings.
Great shooting!
Thank you, brother 🤝
As always love the video looks like they had a massive hatch lol
So it would seem, Mike, they got a free pass during the lockdown. Now they will have a massive pest control 😎🎯 The upside is I hope to be able to make some great videos there ☺️ Thanks, buddy.
Looking forward to the videos good shooting my friend
Great shooting well done ✅👍👍☺️
Thanks, brother 👍
@@AirRifleActivities it is pleasure to look at your videos bud the more you make the better for us
Yep, good gun and I like very much this reticule (!) of course you are good shooter too!
Thank you, my friend, it really means a lot coming from you 🤝🙂
Rename it the pigeon slayer, awesome shooting as usual, missed the splats on the ground 👌🥇👍
Thank you, David 🙂 I like the name you came up with. There will be more SIK footage soon, buddy 🙂👍
Brilliant
Glad you like it, bud 🙂
Xlent shots man👍❤️
Thank, buddy! 🙂 I'm glad you enjoy watching.
Awesome videos! Keep it up. 👌
Thanks, mate 🙂🤝
Nice shooting 👌 👍
Thanks, buddy 👍
1.645g , 283ms💪🔥,
But, pigeons and 1.175g bullets over
I don't get the second sentence, bud.
Beautiful
Thanks, man 🤝
great rifle will look at getting one UK
I think you won't regret it, mate, either the legal limit or the FAC version.
Good job 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome shooting!! How does it feels? With the bipod more forward it will be way more stable but heck it did a great job! You did a nice job showing what this gun is capable of
Thank you, Erlis, I hope I reach your level of proficiency with this rifle soon 🙂 It feels great!
The Prophet seems to do the job for sure. I somehow think it doesn't hit as hard as your Edgun though....maybe it is me though. Dead is dead so don't take that negatively just an observation. Nice shooting and great looking equipment, congrats!
Thank you, Bret, very kind of you 😊 I don't see anything negative about your comment - you're actually right. My Edgun is set to 52 fpe now, whereas the Prophet gives me 46 fpe with its current setting. Mind you the Prophet is .22 cal 😉 I can up the power to about 60 fpe but I don't think it's necessary.
Good shooting dude😎👍
Thanks, buddy 🙂 I was just about to catch up on your videos 📽️
Your going to need more air and pellets. Thanks for sharing. .
Fortunately, both are easily accessible for the time being 🙂 Thanks, buddy 👍
Pellets I use very good are job HADES!!!!
Understandable 🙂 In .22 I personally prefer the Monsters Redesigned, Denis.
excellent team !! suppressor donny fl sumo and look taurus ?? good control greetings from Chile ... I'm waiting for mine to arrive!
Thanks, brother 🙂 I think you'll be more than happy with it 👍
Nice shooting bud
Thank you, friend, thanks a lot 😊🤝
Great video, where was this done at? Fantastic shooting though.
Thank you, pal 🙂 I'm in Europe.
Nice shooting my opinion slugs would knock those piegons down a lot better. Nsa has some slugs that are same price as monster jsb almost twice the down range energy
I agree, Daniel, but this barrel is designed for shooting pellets specifically. It has a very slow twist rate of 1:32. I doubt it'd shoot slugs well. Sth to test in the near future 😉
Nice and strong rifle but where are the beloved cat's?
Ha at the end there is one on the roof :D
@@nicbaeten it's an older video of mine, Nic 🙂 The cats were not so accustomed to me and my shooting back then.
Seems this rifles balance is different than the matador.
Perhaps it is, although I don't mind 🙂 The design is different, this one has a carbon fiber bottle, more adjustability, etc. The Matador is more rigid.
Damm I never see so many pigeons in a farm. Pigeons city for sure.
Man, my new video is to be released in a day or two. It's a new permission. Thousands of pigeons in a huge warehouse. What you saw on this one is nothing compared. Stay tuned and consider liking and subscribing, you won't regret it 🙂 Thank you for watching.
Good job Alex. Seems like this weapon has a bit more punch than the Edgun. I know that conditions were not ideal but, it seems you had a little difficulty operating it. Guess a little more time with it will take care of that. Do you prefer one over the other? We enjoyed the vid and thanks for sharing.
And I thank you, Richard 🙂 Yes, I am getting used to it 😉 Can't say I prefer it over my Edgun, both have their small pros and cons. And yes, it packs a lot of punch, even though it's .22 cal and the Matador is .25.
@@AirRifleActivities I recently purchased a Walther Reign in .22 cal so I know that it takes a while to get used to. Had to get me a bull pup.
Headshot challenge next video..😁😁
Perhaps 🙂 Thanks for watching, bud 🤝
Hola me acabo de suscribirme a su canal excelente video ese rti calibre 25 y el encare es cómodo saludos de chile
Muchas gracias, amigo 🙂 Gracias por subscribirte y bienvenido al canal.
Belos abates amigo👏👏👍😊
Gracias, hombre 🙂🤝
Muy buenos disparos 👍👍👏👏🇦🇷
Muchas gracias, amigo 🙂
Nice 10:58🤣😂💪
Thanks, dude 🙂🤝
As usual, this is great shooting. What is the tile of the background music?
Thanks, buddy 👍 It's called "Come Get With Us"
@@AirRifleActivities thank you
👍
🙂🤝
How do you take the pingeons that no fall in floor?
Congrats from Brasil and Sorry for my english !
Hey, buddy. Thanks for your comment, your English is fine 🙂 I admit that some of those who end up on rooftops we cannot reach, so we leave them to cats and raptors.
Essa é meu sonho
Like meu amigo
Muito obrigado, amigo. Muitas felicidades 🙂
Piegons would rather die but they never leave the place.
The survivors see with their own eyes what's happening to the less lucky ones. If they still choose to stay and make a mess of the wrong place - I'm not giving up either! 🎯
at 10.46 that pigeon was sick . you can tell . it died from lead poisoning...
In the end it did 😉 No, really, you have to be careful, some of those diseases can be transmitted to humans.
@@AirRifleActivities love watching your vids, you have a great site for shooting around those grain silos. I'm very jealous. How do you like the priest. It seems to be very accurate and consitant in your hands. Keep up the good work and keep them vids coming. Stay safe and well.
@@carlappleton6057, thank you kindly for the nice comment 🤝 Please bear in mind it's the Prophet - the latest in the RTI Arms line-up. I like the gun very much. It proved its worth in no time.
What a monster new gun, how many joules operate the Prophet? Before winter the pigeons return the home and increasing with the new ones... never sold out this flying rats :D Good shots, again, every time :D
Thanks, friend 🙂🤝 The Prophet is highly adjustable, right now I set it to 62 Joules with the JSB Monsters Redesigned. For this video the power was 66 J.
Hello! I know they are pests but do you eat them afterward, or trash them?
Some we eat, some we give to the cats at that place and we give a lot to friends. Thanks.
What lens is in your side shot?
It's an eagle vision lens.
I have the same setup but have been struggling to get a clear image
@@dangolwinner, focus the lens on your reticle, and then focus the image of your target by carefully adjusting the parallax before each shot.
Thanks for taking the time to give me the advise! I got a chance to work with my setup and my footage is much better now! I was trying to focus on the target as opposed to the cross hairs. Thanks for the help I really appreciate it given how busy you must be
@@dangolwinner, you're welcome, friend, I always help fellow shooters, as long as I am able to 🙂
Have you tried any slugs in your Prophet?
th-cam.com/video/hkiHVxL6AMI/w-d-xo.html
😉
The extremely slow twist rate of 1:32 of my performance LW polygonal barrel proves to be less efficient with slugs, buddy 🤷
@@AirRifleActivities Thanks for sharing!
17:10 was that a quad kill? Looked like 4 to me. You might be able to slow their breeding down with 4 kills in 1 shot.☠ ☠ ☠ ☠
I think it was a triple, buddy 🙂 I'm already diminishing their numbers - they increased after the last lockdown, but now things are going back to normal 😉 Thanks.
Great video as usual, how does the Prophet price compare to an Impact II? they look similar
Thanks, Dave. There's been some debate on who came up with this design first 😉 The performance version of the Prophet retails for about €1,450.
Hermoso video mi pana y no se diga del rifle esta bellísimo saludos 🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨 sigue así amigo Dios te bendiga siempre
Gracias, amigo, muy amable de tu parte 🙂 Les deseo todo lo mejor, saludos para usted y todos los tiradores en Columbia👍
why such a big jump when you pull the trigger ? recoil or heavy trigger pull ?
Neither. Uncomfortable shooting stance.
some dam nice shooting@@AirRifleActivities
@@fredlance2538 thank you, brother 🙂
هل هو نفس المكان الذي تصطاد فيه ؟!.. يبدو ان الحمام قد زاد عدده 👍 تحياتي لك صديقي👍
نعم ، يا صديقي ، لقد تمكنا من تقليل أعداد الورثة بشكل كبير ، لكنني أعتقد أنهم تجددوا خلال حالة الطوارئ COVID-19 ... سنخفض أعدادهم مرة أخرى ؛) ولا ، أنا لا أصطاد هناك ، لأن هذه البركة الماء عبارة عن مزرعة سمكية ولا يسمح لي بذلك.
New gear bro?
Yeah, bud 🙂 Check out my previous couple of videos - they are short and display my gear updates.
Great video ,
What is the regulator pressure and speed on the redesigned my friend ?
Thanks, buddy 👍 The reg pressure is 150 bar - it's a fixed pressure regulator I'm using right now. Like I said in the video, the gun shoots the Redesigned at 925-930 fps; it can go higher, but I think it's too much for a diabolo pellet 😉 I might even try to reduce the velocity.
@@AirRifleActivities it seems you have installed a new reg . my friend ,true ? Mine is the original and set at 140 bar at the moment ,it shoots the same.
@@weirhauch1002, not a new reg, just one of the fixed pressure regs that RTI sells.
Nice shooting, what scope are you using?
Thanks, brother 🙂 On my Prophet I have the Vector Optics Taurus 3-18x50 FFP. You can find a full equipment list in the description of the video.
Fantastic shooting mate. Just wondering where you from? 🌞
Thanks, brother 🙂 I am in Europe, but I'd rather not disclose my exact location for the time being. No offense. Thank you for watching and the kind comment 🤝
@@AirRifleActivities that's fantastic man no worries I'm from London keep up the good work I'll be doing my videos soon ☺️
Exelente video estoy esperando mi Rti pro . Que velocidad le diste a lo Rediceñados. Espero que pruebes ojibas Slugs H&N Jsb FX Nilsen. DESDE CHILE FELICITACIONES
Gracias por el lindo comentario, amigo 👍 En este video grabo los JSB Monsters Redigned a 282-283 m / s, pero recientemente reduje la velocidad a 274 m / s, ya que creo que funcionan mejor a esa velocidad. Cuando consigas tu Prophet, intenta probarlo tú mismo, porque a veces hay una diferencia de un barril a otro. Si ha pedido el regulador ajustable, puede configurarlo en 170 o 180 bar y luego obtendrá hasta 310-315 m / s con el Rediseñado (un poco demasiado para mi gusto😉). En cuanto a las babosas, este cañón es el cañón poligonal LW que se dedica a disparar balines a largas distancias. Tiene una velocidad de giro muy lenta de solo 1:32, lo que significa que es casi seguro que no disparará bien las babosas. En algún momento haré algunas pruebas y les haré saber si los resultados son buenos. Espero que mis palabras tengan sentido, ya que estoy usando Google Translate, realmente no hablo español. Gracias nuevamente y saludos a ustedes y a todos los tiradores en el exótico y hermoso Chile! 🙂
Muchas gracias estare esperando los proximos videos y las pruebas de slugs felicitaciones
Te comprendo perfecto con el traductor si compre en RTI Prophet performance y es muy in teresante lo que dises se podra comprar el CZ para .25 para slugs
Is that the Prophet right out of the box, or did you have to tune it?
Right out of the box, David. The only thing I adjusted was the hammer spring. Not even the reg pressure, as it's the cheaper fixed pressure one.
Why always the prettier birds?.
Good shooting, look forward to your longer term felling on this v your EDguns.
thanks.
Hey, Henry. By "prettier birds" you mean white or whitish ones, I suppose. I don't always target those, at least not with prejudice. It's just that there's been some discussion in the comments sections to my videos: some viewers say I shouldn't shoot them because they are symbol of peace and that birds of prey target them more easily. Others say it's a bunch of nonsense and I should just shoot them any chance I get. I shoot them to amuse both parties 😉
Вы хорошо стреляете
Спасибо, друг 👍My guns are good, that's what makes me a decent shooter.
@@AirRifleActivities пожалуйста I have a black kral puncher maxi 5.5
Dang ARA. Talk about 100 bushel to the acre pigeons.
Yeah, man, their numbers increased during the lock-down, but we'll get them sorted soon 😎
Hello there, how do you know how far away they are? I mean exactly the range.
Hey, bud. We use laser range finders. Most shooters do these days 🙂
@@AirRifleActivities thanks man.
I'm really interested in this thematic (air rifle with power).
But I'm new.
can anyone tell me what moderator is it? the one about the prophet.
Hey, buddy. It's the DonnyFL Sumo. I replied to your email too 🙂 Shoot straight and stay safe!
Will the FX carbon fiber bottles work on this rifle?
Not sure, bud. I kinda doubt it.
Excelente video 👍
Cuantos tiros le esta dando a esa velocidad?
Gracias, amigo 🙂 I must admit I haven't measured the number of shots yet... it also depends on the fill pressure of the tank, of course. But it's several dozens for sure from a 240 bar fill.
@@AirRifleActivities Ahhh ok. The other thing I wanted to ask you was if that was the best speed you gave with the redesigned or will you do more tests?
@@kevindonoso6455, so far my experience with this gun shows that the best velocity for the Redesigned with the LW polygonal barrel is from 270 to 280 m/s. But some shooters claim they achieve great result with a velocity of about 310 m/s.
@@AirRifleActivities Ah OK I understand. Thank you very much for the answers. Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱✌️
Hello what is the mark of silencor ?
It's a DonnyFL Sumo, buddy.
Ok so which do you like better? The Edgun or RTI?
I can't say, I like both 🙂 They're just so... different. I'm happy to have them both in my gun cabinet and not have to make a choice between owning one or the other.
Alex on that one you were trying for a double I'm pretty sure you got a triple
Donald, looking at the footage I was left under the same impression, but I couldn't verify it. One thing I haven't mentioned in my videos yet is pretty often before I leave that place, I find several birds, freshly killed that I cannot account for with footage - no doubt the result of double kills I thought to be single kills only. Thank you for noticing, friend🤝
@@AirRifleActivities you are very welcome and keep safe
Might have had a triple at 17:40!!
Yes, buddy, I think so too, just couldn't verify it 🙂 Thanks for noticing 👍
Have you stopped using the matador r5m for the prophet how do you compare them mate.🎯🐇🐿
Hey, Darren. No, I still have my Matador and I will keep using it 🙂 It's the more compact gun and on some occasion it's the more adequate choice. Both guns are great. The Prophet is more comfortable to shoot off a bipod, with the Matador I am more mobile.
How far it does pierce?
It depends on the power setting, the pellet and what kind of material, buddy. I haven't made tests on distance and piercing, I shoot pests with this gun 🙂
Sorry to say that but why don't you buy a Tripod buddy will be much better to your self, another nice video
Thank you, Jose, and thanks for the advice 👍 What kind of tripod? You mean for the camera? The gun already has a bipod as can be seen in the video, but I cannot use it for all my shots, due to the surroundings and elevation.
Where should I click to Like 10x????
😄 Thanks x10, buddy, I'm glad you liked it so much!
